7 Brew Group Order Guide: Office Runs and Party Orders Made Easy

Being the person who brings 7 Brew to the office, practice or party makes you an instant hero. But a large drink order can get messy fast. This guide shows you how to collect orders, pick crowd-pleasers and get through the drive-thru smoothly.

Step 1: Collect orders the smart way

• Use a shared note or group chat. Ask everyone to send their order in one format: size, hot/iced/frozen, drink name and changes.
• Set a deadline so you are not waiting on late orders.
• Ask about allergies and dietary needs. See our allergen guide.
• Collect payment in advance if people are paying you back.

Order format example: “Medium iced Blondie, oat milk, half sweet.”

Step 2: Offer crowd-pleasing suggestions

Some people will say “surprise me.” Here are safe picks:

• Coffee lovers: iced Blondie or Smooth 7.
• Black coffee drinkers: Cold Brew or Americano.
• Non-coffee drinkers: a fruity energy drink like Sunrise or a Fizz.
• Tea fans: a chai latte or matcha latte.
• Kids or no-caffeine: a smoothie, shake or lemonade.
• Health-conscious: an iced latte with sugar-free syrup. See our low-calorie guide.

Step 3: Choose the right time

Big orders are easiest during less busy times, such as mid-morning on weekdays. Avoid the morning rush if you can. If you must go during a busy time, be extra organized. See our drive-thru tips.

Step 4: Call ahead if it is really big

For very large orders, some stands appreciate a heads-up. Check whether your stand takes call-ahead or catering orders. Policies vary by location.

Step 5: Order clearly at the stand

1. Tell the brewista up front how many drinks you have.
2. Read one drink at a time, slowly.
3. Group similar drinks together (all hot drinks, then iced, then frozen).
4. Ask for names or labels on cups if possible.
5. Ask for drink carriers.

Step 6: Carry drinks safely

• Use drink carriers and place them on the car floor, not the seat.
• Put frozen drinks in last so they melt the least.
• Keep hot drinks upright with lids secured.
• Bring a box or bag to stabilize carriers.

Step 7: Hand out drinks

Bring a printed or phone list to match drinks with names. If cups are not labeled, use a marker to write initials.

Group order etiquette

• Tip generously. Large orders take extra time and effort.
• Be patient. Big orders take longer to make.
• Keep customizations reasonable for very large orders during busy times.
• Double-check before leaving. Make sure the count is right.

Budget tips for group orders

• Suggest sizes to keep costs down.
• Ask everyone to pay their share before you go.
• Skip pricey add-ins for big groups.
• See our money-saving tips.
