Lake Geneva, WI, Dunkin Donuts- I’ve been to this Dunkin’ multiple times on Saturday mornings, and the service is consistently slow and disorganized. Despite having six to seven employees on the floor, orders take far longer than they should.
From a process standpoint, there’s no clear role assignment. The cashier takes an order and then leaves the register to retrieve items, while customers stack up behind them. Meanwhile, other employees appear idle or are moving around without clear direction. This creates bottlenecks and confusion that shouldn’t exist with this many staff members on duty.
On my most recent visit, I waited nearly 10 minutes for a simple cup of coffee—only to realize my order had been forgotten entirely. It was obvious it fell off the radar, which speaks to a lack of organization, not a lack of effort.
This location needs stronger management and clearer workflow: designated roles, better order tracking, and a system that matches staffing levels to customer volume. With the number of employees present, this location should be able to operate efficiently. Right now, it doesn’t.
I hope management takes a serious look at their processes, because this seems to be a recurring issue—not just for me, but for many customers, including those using the drive-thru.
