STARBUCKS
The Starbucks store, which I visited for this assignment, was 1301 Robson Street
Vancouver, BC, V6E 4A2. Well, I personally believe that a coffeehouse should be a place to find connection and it should fit seamlessly within its neighborhood and lastly its environmental impact should be as minimal as possible. The experience I had was, Sustainable design and methodologies Is part of their DNA. I haven’t even walked in yet but Starbucks was already working on me. I started with the door handle it was like a handshake between the store and me, it was not there by accident it was already providing me with some advertisement about the coffee I was about to buy. Layout of entrance zone plays an important role to represent a coffee house first impression. Starbucks design their entrance layout in a desirable manner and placing their main promotion menus at the end caps. Entrances and exit points directly affect loyalty most significantly. It was all about flow getting customers in and out of their store in the most efficient …show more content…

Only 30 percent of customers come after lunch, to increase the flow of customers after 12 and draw new one to offer happy hour or drinks or lower price, this will draw customer who are not willing to pay full price for these drinks or snacks and they would add customer flow in the later hours of the day. Starbucks should also invest in new technology such as new table ordering kiosk, which would reduce those big line-ups and save customers time, which is very much-appreciated by the customers. Another issue with Starbucks I want to address is the parking space; I have seen most of their customers are disappointed because of the limited parking they provide, they should provide more parking space to their customers either by renting or buying their private parking

  • Decreasing the Wait Time for Cafeteria Food at Howard University

    1016 Words  | 3 Pages

    In my proposal plan I recommend that the average wait time at each food station in the café be decreased, especially during high rush hour time for example during the lunch and dinner rushes. We can help reduce the time by having servers make up pre portioned plates that way students can grab and go instead of wait in a line for upwards of thirty minutes for cold food. We can also have different food options added that serve different options because as of now the food lines operate on a schedule with the same food options every week. Another recommendation would to be expanded the cafeteria as a whole. As of now Howard University as roughly 10,000 undergraduate students, the cafeteria can barely hold 800 students comfortably. This will also cause the café to have better organization of lines in order to decrease confusion.

    Christine Day's interpretation of the market research made her think that by shortening the service time for each customer to maximum 3 minutes, all the problems would be solved. However, this solution came with the price of $40 million per year, due to a significant increase in the labor. The proposed solution would most certainly lead to the result desired by Day, but would it be enough to restore Starbucks' damaged brand image? Are 20 seconds of customer service really time worth $40 million per year? This is the question we are trying to answer in this case, while seeking alternative purposes for this expenditure, in order to achieve higher benefits.

Individuals can really see through the glass divider and become acquainted with the exercises within the café. I was entranced by the two red roof lights which are molded like bloom buds. As I entered the coffeehouse, two major green plants close to the passage welcomed me. The Starbucks not by any stretch of the imagination have an entryway, making it simpler for individuals to stroll in and out. There is a gigantic sustenance and drink counter at the right half of the shop. Behind the counter, there is a long table brimming with distinctive electronic gadgets along the divider. Between the counter and the table, there is a cooler only for ice. The Starbucks had about 10 tables and 2 tables outside. Some of the rules are to not be loud when you are with other people because it can be rude to be loud when other people are trying to get stuff done. Other rule is that you must have your order ready or the people behind you will get annoyed. People are usually really grumpy before they had their coffee so you must be polite and let them drink their coffee. Most people are either on their phones or on their laptops. Most people are either doing homework for school or surfing the web. From what I saw was that college students come to Starbucks to get coffee and do their work while having their coffee. Usually girls would be in groups of two or three and order coffee. Caucasian females were the most out of all the races that were at Starbucks. I saw that almost all ethnicity would come to Starbucks and enjoy a cup of coffee. It was interesting to just observe other people’s actions and behavior. Everybody acts a different way before they had some coffee. I learned a lot from just watching other people live their normal lives.

At the same time they should be selling franchise right for the coffee carts. This will provide an increased cash flow as well. During all of this Starbucks should be looking at coffee producers who are in financial trouble or are looking at selling their farms. This has to be done discretely as not to cause unnecessary bad press. After they run a couple of these coffee producing farms for a few years they should be able to see how the whole operation works and determine its viability. Once it’s proven viable they should send out simultaneous offers to the biggest producers as to catch them and other coffee companies off guard. Starbucks also should be getting into the bottled Frappuccino as soon as possible. They should leave the introduction of the product up to Pepsi because of their past experience. They should leave their entry into the grocery store market until some of these other strategies are implemented. This will prove to be the best strategy for Starbucks being able to reach their long-term gaol.

    When I saw this discussion, I couldn’t help but think of Starbucks and the impact they’ve made throughout their 45 years of establishment. I worked with them for about 7 years and saw how unique they were from your everyday coffee and latte spots.

For example, today college students utilize Starbucks locations to study rather than go to a nearby library. Starbucks is also known for its best coffee and espresso drinks (Latte or Frappuccino) and with one of its delicious espresso 's any student or just a person stopping in to enjoy its lounge area where there is free Wi-Fi is awesome!
