“We are driven to create new and unique digital experiences that
are meaningful, valuable and convenient for our customers,” said
Roz Brewer, group president and chief operating officer for
Starbucks. “Partnering with Uber Eats helps us take another step
towards bringing Starbucks to customers wherever they are.”
By partnering with Uber Eats, Starbucks is leveraging the
expertise of the largest global delivery service outside of China
while extending the potential customer base beyond those who
currently include Starbucks as part of their morning or afternoon
routines. Through the agreement, the companies will collaborate on
innovation and technology integration. Starbucks and Uber Eats will
continue to focus on delivery packaging, in-store operations, and a
quick order-to-door delivery window.
“Our customers are huge Starbucks fans and love being able to
get their favorite items delivered with Uber Eats speed,” said
Jason Droege, Vice President of UberEverything. “We’re excited to
expand our partnership across the United States to make ordering
their favorite coffee and breakfast sandwich as easy as requesting
a ride.”
Over the past decade Starbucks has continued to innovate the
retail experience to connect with customers digitally. Whether
through Starbucks® Rewards, the Starbucks® Mobile App, or Mobile
Order and Pay, Starbucks has adapted to the changing consumer
landscape. Starbucks Delivers powered by Uber Eats began rolling
out in the Fall of 2018 through a pilot in Miami and is currently
available in 11 U.S. markets. Starbucks will continue to introduce
delivery to new markets, achieving national coverage by early
2020.
