An issue within their enormous menu is a difficulty to maintain fresh inventory on every single one of their dozens and dozens and what seems to be genuinely hundreds of items. Yes, yeah, they can be pretty modular with one item fulfilling multiple purposes, like peanut butter or sprinkles for example, but I believe in taking some inspiration from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-CWhzAmqUw Kitchen Nightmares] in that paring the menu down will yield a higher quality product that may potentially make lines go up in ways I support, and also streamline the business in a way more conducive to franchising on a higher level. Rather than having a plethora of items that assuredly need to be kept frozen or preserved in some manner to keep everything available at all times, a smaller menu will allow for fresher items to be held for a shorter amount of time as customers will be guided into a smaller selection of products that will burn through everything in total faster. | An issue within their enormous menu is a difficulty to maintain fresh inventory on every single one of their dozens and dozens and what seems to be genuinely hundreds of items.

It’s critical for me to state that I went to the Virginia Beach location and that [https://www.theyardmilkshakebar.com/thescoopblog/2020/9/17/the-yard-milkshake-bar-takes-on-virginia-beach this one appears to be a franchise location], not one of the four original stores that are owned entirely by the founders. What’s truly disappointing is that their milkshakes look cool and unique, expansive varieties that push https://www.theyardmilkshakebar.com/thescoopblog fun seasonal ideas], and that has me questioning my experience. This doesn’t fully settle concerns, instead raising more questions: did I get a bad batch? Doubtful with it being a featured item that assuredly was quality-checked and rolling through inventory, so maybe it was stockpiled for the special with several prepared buckets left to die in the freezer? Is there a discrepancy between each store in quality? Is this just how the franchises are? Are the original stores any better? Are Logan and Chelsea Green, founders of The Yard, prowling through search engines for any negative commentary to then fire targeted missiles at an underperforming franchise location? And the question that concerns me the most is if this was a fluke and if any of the stores could have fresher inventory, and the truth is that I absolutely will never take the chance again on such an expensive and wildly unnecessary gimmick product and hope that my disappointed reaction to it spurs you all to never try them and that one day their line goes down and they consider my suggestions. | It’s critical for me to state that I went to the Virginia Beach location and that [https://www.theyardmilkshakebar.com/thescoopblog/2020/9/17/the-yard-milkshake-bar-takes-on-virginia-beach this one appears to be a franchise location], not one of the four original stores that are owned entirely by the founders.
