i will buy you a costco rotisserie chicken i've sold costco is an experience through and through
and as many costco members and envious non-members know the food court is all that and then some
so let's spill the beans on 15 costco food court secrets only employees know about no
costco membership no problem but sometimes it feels like you just use me for my costco
membership in certain climates you can just walk into a costco food court like you own the place
and in others well you might have trouble getting past the pseudo vip bouncers at the door
you see costco will often have outdoor food courts whereby no membership is needed to
enjoy the deliciously affordable food offerings but in all other locations sorry but you gotta
show proof of membership in order to even get past the door so not all perks are reserved for
members only you can also go shopping in the land of incredible deals as a member's guest
but they're gonna have to pay for your purchased goods or there's actually another route cash cards
are a thing that can get you through the door and buying oversized goods by the cart load you do
however have to get a member to buy you that cash card to gain access the alternate spot on the menu
new menu item deep fried pizza when you walk up to a costco food court looking for that chicken
bacon hot dog you know so well be prepared to see one item that's a little less dependable
you see it may not always be there on the menu there's one spot on the costco food court menu
specifically held for rotation based on geographic location and local tastes costco menus possess one
slot on their list of food offerings to provide us something even more specific to our regions when
in rome we'll do as the romans do so for instance when you check out the menu you'll see the
regulars like pizza chicken caesar salad churros etc but what you will also maybe see is a turkey
wrap or carne asada bake or something else for as long as supplies last this means that if you see
something in that rotating spot know that it may not be there the next time you come around so if
you want a taste go for it 100 million hot dogs a year he's got millions costco's main purpose
is to provide members with the most incredible shopping experience possible period and one way
to do so is to feed hungry consumers on the spot so in the 1980s in sunny san diego california
costco execs started small by test selling one single food item from a cart hot dogs the success
of the hot dog cart would lead to the creation of a full-fledged food court costco sells the
hot dogs for the low price of a dollar fifty and that includes a drink and not only that but they
also have made both the hot dog and drink in the combo larger in size over time i'm a generous man
while selling hot dogs at a dollar fifty is not the most profitable move costco is looking to show
their members a little appreciation by keeping the prices low the hot dogs hot and the drinks flowing
producing a hundred million hot dogs a year is no easy feat epically advanced pizza technology
pizza where's pizza costco has the pizza making process down to a science so much so that some
nifty technology is used in the process feast your eyes upon the ultimate pizza sauce distributor
literally the result is perfection costco utilizes an exciting pizza robot that is so fun to watch it
can even feel like meditation no this is not a terminator type of robot this piece of machinery
is designed to provide you with the most optimal pizza eating experience possible domino's who
best pizza in the neighborhood eighth best the costco pizza robot covers your beloved pizza pie
with the exact right amount of sauce in all the right places costco is so serious about their
pizza game that once the pizza comes out of the oven if it is not consumed within an hour it is
replaced with a new pie every aspect of this pizza making process is a measured standard so that you
get that delicious pizza taste you're counting on every time the secret to the chicken bake
the secret ingredient is okay we're about to let you in on a secret you know those famous chicken
bakes from costco that everyone raves about you know those part pizza pocket slash part calzone
meats chicken caesar salad concoctions well the secret to the chicken bake is in the sauce
more specifically a secret caesar sauce that's right you know the dressing that shows up all over
your caesar salad at costco well that same sauce is spread all over the chicken baked
dough like a lot of it a lot of it add in all of the fixings like the grilled chicken breasts bacon
onions cheese etc and presto you've got yourself a costco chicken bake the salty and creamy caesar
dressing does its thing and keeps you coming back for more every time fresher food with a lineup
we've all been there hungry and waiting in line to order your food well that lineup you're in could
be the difference between getting the freshest food or some less than recent creations the costco
food court may be full of inexpensive goodies but a lot of people know that and a lot of people get
hungry while shopping for deals i'm hungry now so the lineups tend to get pretty lengthy but
do not get discouraged hang in there because a long costco lineup just means fresher costco food
according to a food court employee when the lines are long the churros are good
the food gets made more rapidly during peak hours when the lineups are long and therefore everything
is fresher in general can't hate on that closet pizza chain giant this isn't the time for the
giant pizza story girl costco's food court has a secret in fact this food court is so humble
someone needs to hype it up like this little guy hypes up his friend you see while costco
may be a superstore above all other things it is also the 14th largest pizza chain in the u.s of
a that's right this claim to fame comes from the fact that there are roughly 500 costco locations
across the u.s and even with only some of those selling pizza costco's food court is considered a
top pizza chain not only is it one of the largest pizza chains in the united states but it is also
one of the most inexpensive ones i mean we believe in how inexpensive he is at 1.99 a slice and 9.99
a pie costco pizzas sell like hotcakes and it is no wonder given the fact that they take every
measure to make sure that every pizza is made to perfection the sandwich with a cult following
sandwich many people have some strong feelings about this next one especially since it is
currently only a memory of the recent past we're talking about none other than the barbecue brisket
sandwich from the costco food court apparently this costco food court menu item was so beloved
when it was around that it had a fierce fandom following in fact many people believed that
when the barbecue brisket sandwich was around it was the best item on the menu while it was also
technically one of the priciest offerings on the menu most costco food court dining loyalists felt
that it was so good that it was worth it filled with lots of tender beef a smoky barbecue sauce
and coleslaw all on a delicious bun the barbecue brisket sandwich was a messy but delectably
bountiful meal but it's worth it while many were in love with this sandwich costco discontinued
it from the menu in 2020. it was only available at select locations prior to its discontinuation
and we're hoping that it makes its return to select menus quickly country specific menu items
what's on the menu [ __ ] just like many other food chains with various locations around the
globe costco has varying menu items dependent upon the jurisdiction a one-size-fits-all model
doesn't always make sense in a world as abundant in differences as ours and so in order to appeal
to local tastes costco provides varying menu items that are fitting for the location's
country in question people want to eat local in canada poutine is found on the menu at the costco
food court while in mexico you can find some yummy lasagna wales has shepherd's pie while
at costco food courts in iceland you can find mango smoothies does yum mean the same thing in
every language one full pound of cheese per pizza pizza with that variety of cheese is a culinary
impossibility attention cheese lovers it's time to be stationed at the food court like a star
wars fan waiting for tickets to see the latest movie with over a pound of cheese on every pizza
pie cheese lovers can finally drop a pin to the location of cheese heaven on earth the cheese
used is 80 partly skimmed low-fat mozzarella and 20 parmesan it's also worth noting that costco is
serious about freshness all we need is some fresh ingredients in fact costco does not use processed
cheese or powdered cheese on its pizza everything is meticulously decided upon when it comes to
costco pizza including that the cheese used does not contain hydrogenated oils trans fats or lard
everything is carefully measured when it comes to the pizzas as is evidenced in the pizza sauce
robot so if you were looking for a mountain of cheese you can find it at costco a little planning
goes a long way a little of that guy goes a long way while the costco food court is definitely more
of a quick dine-in kind of experience in theory it doesn't have to be technically there is nothing
stopping you from calling in your order in advance you can actually order your pizza ahead of time
skip the whole costco shopping experience and just get to the cheesy good stuff cheesy while there is
no delivery option at the moment you can pick up from the food court and grab your food to go
make sure not to call during peak hours though because costco's staff are pretty overwhelmed
with what's going on in front of them at that time but a little planning definitely goes a long way
good news costco will even allow non-members to place orders and experience the inexpensive and
delicious goodness that is costco pizza sneaky pay method shut up and take my money so you're
hungry you're tired you want to eat go home and unpack all of the incredible groceries you've just
purchased well from here on out you can use this sneaky pay method and circumvent the cash at the
food court really really here's what you do do your shopping thing and then once you're done head
for the cash register when you're at the register tell the cashier that you want to add your food
court order to your tab at the cash register ding ding ding your wishes then the cashier's command
as your order gets inputted into the system then head to the express lineup at the food court show
your receipt and just wait for your food it's as simple and as sneaky as that employees love
the food court you should never have left the food court employees know all the secrets the
good the bad the ugly and they can easily get sick of eating what's always around but when employees
are willing even enthusiastic about eating food at their workplace you know you've got a winner well
it's apparently costco for the win again because employees are huge fans of the food court in fact
they are legit members of the costco food court fandom if we stand together we are strong in fact
when employees were surveyed as to which menu items were their faves the pizza came out on
top and the famous hot dog came in a close second not made for profits our profits will be smaller
when you go to costco you know it's going to be a couple of hours you're going to get your shop
on but you also know that you're probably going to have to make a pit stop at the famous food court
for some of those famous deals but here's the thing the food court wasn't made for profits no it
is literally there to refuel you for your shopping experience and since costco knows that customers
might want to peruse the aisles of the incredibly large superstore for hours on end they also know
that you will inevitably get hungry during the process costco keeps the prices low for their
delicious eats like for instance their slices of pizza for 1.99 it's surprisingly affordable the
members only superstore shows their customers that they care enough to feed them during a shopping
experience even if it's not the greatest money maker for their bottom line what better way to
earn someone's loyalty of heart and wallet than to offer them delectably inexpensive food no
employee discounts you don't have an employee discount apparently costco employees don't get a
discount at the food court well you see as most of us know costco is known for their incredibly low
prices it's kind of their thing so it's definitely a little odd to hear that they don't offer their
hungry employees a discount on the food that's employee discount no longer apply to you but the
thing is costco prices are already so affordable that the execs clearly felt it would be too much
to give an even greater discount on top of the already low prices so costco staff are paying
full price for their break time meals just like we are and word is they don't really mind we're open
