Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) on Tuesday said it is expanding its
delivery program with Uber Eats to six more U.S. cities after a
successful initial test in Miami.
The Seattle coffee chain said the rollout begins Tuesday in San
Francisco and will expand to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York
and Washington, D.C., in the coming weeks.
The service includes about 95% of Starbucks' core menu items and
carries an initial $2.49 booking fee, the company said.
Starbucks last year said it planned to offer the service in
nearly a quarter of its more than 8,000 U.S. company-operated
stores, and the company on Tuesday said those plans are on
track.
Starbucks said its Miami test, which it launched in September
2018, saw strong demand, including repeat business throughout the
day and positive feedback from customers.
Starbucks said it also plans to expand its delivery service to
more international markets this year, with a limited pilot program
with Uber Eats in London.
