#THE SCOOP N SCOOTERY DRIVERS#
By putting guidelines in place that strive to have drivers depart the truck every 30 minutes during off peak and 15 minutes during peak intervals, we were able to project a 54% improvement in ice cream idle time and 39% improvement in total customer wait time. As soon as the owner is forced to multitask between walk ups and online orders he loses sight of servicing the customers which are not in front of him and average wait times increase by 20-25 minutes during the rest of the peak period.

While orders placed within the 6:00-9:00 time frame have a relatively consistent wait time, as walk up orders increase at the end of the peak time frame, the efficiencies of the delivery process breakdown. This line depicts the linear view of how this erratic delivery cadence impacts the variance of wait times.
#THE SCOOP N SCOOTERY DRIVER#
Anecdotally, there was one instance during observation where both drivers were coming and going at about the same time-if you were the first person to place an order after the driver left you could be waiting upwards of 80 minutes for your ice cream which is a far cry from the 30 minutes they boast on their website. Even with two drivers during peak times, average total wait time for customers averaged about an hour and sundaes were idling in the truck for an average of 20 minutes after assembly and before they were taken by the driver to be delivered. As soon as the driver returns, Austin hands him however many orders are completed at that very moment and sends him on his way.

Instead, the real fun lies in choosing your own singularly weird toppings combination. While some ice cream parlors specialize in New Age flavors that belong in candles instead of cones, Scoop sticks to the basics, with ultra-creamy Richardson’s as the base: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, maybe peanut butter cup. For those missing picnic gatherings, there’s the A La Mode: baked apple pie (crust and all), caramel, and whipped cream. Is it the same as being able to go camping? Not quite. A recent new creation is the Garland: ‘Smores ice cream topped with marshmallow Fluff, doughy sugar cookie bites, frosted rice crispy treats, fudge, graham crackers, and homemade whipped cream.

Next, these concoctions transcend mere hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry. First off, they specialize in sundaes, which ups the special-occasion quotient.
