In addition, with national coverage in the U.S., Starbucks Delivers transactions tripled in Q3 from Q2 levels, with the highest volume in the late morning and mid-day. All of this indicates that customers are adapting their routines, and Starbucks is well-positioned to drive further recovery by simply increasing throughput and enhancing those safe, familiar and convenient experiences customers desire.As digital adoption accelerates in China, Starbucks continues to innovate in ways that deepen customer relationships and extend the reach of the Starbucks experience across a variety of digital platforms and ecosystems. In May, Starbucks launched a new WeChat Mini program with new functionality for WeChat users, including Starbucks Delivers.

Fueled by new digital initiatives, Starbucks has seen strong sequential growth in active rewards members. In fact, the Q3 90-day active members increased 25% over Q2 to 9.9 million, representing 9% growth over the prior year.

Starbucks Operations
Revenue from company-operated stores accounted for 81% of total net revenues during fiscal 2019. Starbucks' retail objective is to be the leading retailer and brand of coffee and tea in each of the company's target markets by selling the finest quality coffee, tea and related products, as well as complementary food offerings, and by providing each customer with a unique Starbucks Experience. The Starbucks Experience is built upon superior customer service and a seamless digital experience as well as clean and well-maintained stores that reflect the personalities of the communities in which they operate, thereby building a high degree of customer loyalty.
The company's strategy for expanding global retail business is to increase market share, by selectively opening additional stores in new and existing markets, as well as increasing sales in existing stores, to support long-term strategic objectives to maintain Starbucks standing as one of the most recognized and respected brands in the world.
Starbucks Product Supply
Starbucks buys coffee using fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed purchase commitments, depending on market conditions, to secure an adequate supply of quality green coffee. The company also utilizes forward contracts, futures contracts, and collars to hedge "C" price exposure under price-to-be-fixed green coffee contracts and long-term forecasted coffee demand where underlying fixed price and price-to-be-fixed contracts are not yet available. Total purchase commitments, together with existing inventory, are expected to provide an adequate supply of green coffee through fiscal 2020.
Starbucks Competition
The company's primary competitors for coffee beverage sales are specialty coffee shops. Starbucks believes that customers choose among specialty coffee retailers primarily on the basis of product quality, service and convenience, as well as price. The company continues to experience direct competition from large competitors in the quick-service restaurant sector and the ready-to-drink coffee
beverage market, in addition to both well-established and start-up companies in many international markets. Starbucks also competes with restaurants and other specialty retailers for prime retail locations and qualified personnel to operate both new and existing stores.
Starbucks' coffee and tea products sold through Channel Development segment compete directly against specialty coffees and teas sold through grocery stores, warehouse clubs, specialty retailers.

Starbucks To Allow Access To Supply Chain Data
Aug 2020
Starbucks Corp. is set to begin offering public access to an unprecedented level of data about the bags of coffee it sells, right down to the identity of the farm where it was grown and the roaster where it was prepared.
On the other side of the supply chain, farmers will have near-instant access to sales and market data related to the beans they produce under the newly opened system.
The Seattle-based company says it is using blockchain technology to maintain and serve up the data.
“We have been able to trace every coffee we buy from every farm for almost two decades,” Michelle Burns, senior vice president of coffee, tea and cocoa at Starbucks, said in an interview “That allowed us to have the foundation to now build a user-friendly, consumer-driven tool that certainly provides that trust and confidence to our customers that we know where all of our coffee comes from."

Starbucks Reigns Supreme in Mobile Ordering, but Its App’s UX Is Far From Perfect
August 2020
Despite the app’s consumer popularity and accolades from UX professionals, it’s fumbling on some fundamental design features that could improve the user experience, said John Zimmerman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon’s HCI Institute who teaches courses in user experience design, service design and innovation.
Top 3 issues with the Starbucks App:
1. Difficult Payment Onboarding
2. Complicated Menu Architecture
3. Order Fulfillment Confusion
How they need to fix the issues:
1. Recognize and Infer Payment Patterns Through Machine Learning
2. Improve Voice-Enabled Ordering
3. Create Timed Ordering Options

Life on the edge: A new world for data'
Jan 2020
Starbucks in the US has fitted Microsoft’s Azure Sphere edge computer to its coffee machines. The IoT-enabled machines collect more than a dozen data points for every shot of espresso pulled, from the type of beans used to the coffee’s temperature and water quality, generating over 5MB of data in an eight-hour shift.
According to Microsoft and Starbucks, the connectivity means that coffee shops can not only identify problems with their machines, but Starbucks can also send new coffee recipes directly to machines, replacing the manual task of updating every machine via the USB. Jeff Wile, senior vice-president of retail and core technology services at Starbucks Technology, says: “We have to get to 30,000 stores in nearly 80 markets to update those recipes. The recipe push is a huge part of the cost savings and the justification for doing this.”

Starbucks Looking to Utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology
Dec 2019
Starbucks is partnering with Microsoft to use data to enhance the customer service experience.
“As an engineering and technology organization, one of the areas we are incredibly excited to be pursuing is using data to continuously improve the experience for our customers and partners,” said Starbucks chief technology officer Gerri Martin-Flickinger.
When a customer uses the Starbucks mobile app, it uses previous orders as data to determine their beverage preferences based on local stores and even offer recommendations. Additionally, the coffeehouse chain is looking to use this same technology for their drive-thru service, allowing customers to view recommendations on a digital menu.
“We’re meeting our customers where they are … using machine learning and artificial intelligence to understand and anticipate their personal preferences,” said senior vice president Jon Francis. “Machine learning also plays a role in how we think about store design, engage with our partners, optimize inventory and create barista schedules. This capability will eventually touch all facets of how we run our business.”
