Among those innovations are delivery services designed to closely
resemble the experience customers enjoy inside Starbucks retail
stores.
The coffee chain says it has developed methods for delivering
coffee products that have the same quality customers would
normally get at a Starbucks store, by utilizing tools like
heat-retaining packaging and spill-proof lids.
When customers receive their orders, “the beverage is the same
temperature as if the barista just prepared it and handed it to
them,” Johnson told CNBC.
Johnson further explained to CNBC that China’s food delivery
industry was growing “faster than any other part of the world.”
