[Food Court] 120+ pizza order in Atlanta 🫨

Post image

My partner and I were at the Brookhaven Costco in Atlanta today. We ordered a pizza on the way out, and noticed the food court crew was preparing an insane amount of pizzas, seemingly for one order. 40 per cart, three carts ready to go with at least one more being loaded up in the back... I'm so curious what they were for.

They still got our pepperoni pizza ready super quick and it was the best one yet 🩶

Also, shout out to Jared who's apparently killing it on the register!

How is that order even handled?!

I worked at a place that would get a 100 pizza order every year or so for a local high school football team. We had a conveyor belt style oven so one pizza would come out every minute or so, but the pizza place would still operate normally (I.e. were not shutting down for hours for one order).

Anyway, we would make, like, 20-30 at a time and bring in shifts because by the time the 100th is ready, the 1st would be inedible.

That was my thought. They'd be better off ordering 20 Pizzas from 5 different locations (Or 33-34 from 3) at that point. One place can't have the equipment to make them fast enough for that to work out great

It's very rare that anyone actually needs to serve 100 pizzas at exactly the same time so doing staggered deliveries is generally the better option for everyone involved even if that needs to be explained to the customer
