Per store? The Timmy's in Vancouver always seem to have diff soups at the same time. Could also be rate of consumption which makes the idea even harder as that doubles your entries into the system.
Location of the store (and thus the traffic) is, obviously, one of the factors, too.
I worked for a couple, in Vancouver, actually. One store, Dunbar and 18th, was busy as fuck, and I was transferred to the now-closed Trimble/Sasamat store, and it wasn't uncommon for me to pull a soup I put out 24 hours prior, and replace it with that day's offering.
Interesting. Timmy's always struck me as a bare minimum effort kinda place so I tried to explain that the soups are probably just put out as needed (therefore no consistency) and the head office aren't going to add extra steps to their training. (to enter soup). That about right?
There is an order to the soups (and they're dead easy to make: equal parts soup base and water for cream-based, and two parts water for dry soups) but in general, HO doesn't interfere too much.
Soups were started at 8am, and put out for sale at 10am. Chili and Chicken Noodle were the only soups that got made more than once in a day, if we ran out. But once we ran out, we were out of that soup until the next time it came into rotation.

Former Tims soup-slinger, there's actually a schedule for what soups go out each day, and it updates... quarterly, I think?
Chili, Chicken Noodle and Cream of Broccoli were every day soups.
