Starbucks• Inability to maintain consistent
service levels with increased no. of outlets
• High real estate cost• Only 50 Starbucks cafes in India• Not an affordable price point for

service across the globe.• Cost advantage- Improve the efficiency of supply chain

employees- soft skills – new hires/groomed for tier I cities.• Redo the seating arrangement – Preserve the privacy for a lot to
happen over coffee.• Ask your customer if he is okay with the ambience – the temperature,
the music – find him a sweet spot.• Ease the payment – make sure the machines work fine.• Ask for memorable dates – birthdays, anniversaries – make it special –
