At the Outset
• A market research report indicates – not meeting customer expectations in terms of service
• To increase customer satisfaction, company plans to increase labour force in stores thus increasing speed of service
• However, this cost ($40m) could hit the bottom line
• 3 coffee fanatics – Gerald Baldwin, Gordon Bowker & Ziev Siegel• Specialized in selling ‘arabica’ beans• Create the 3rd home – Home, Office & Starbucks Coffee Shop• By 1992, 140 stores• In 1992, decided to go public & raised $25m

Starbucks Partners
• Employees called ‘Partners’• Hourly-wage employees called ‘Baristas’• 60,000 partners worldwide• Partner satisfaction leads to customer satisfaction• Lowest employee turnover rates• Company encourages promotion within its own
ranks
Delivering on Service
• Partners had 2 types of training– Soft Skills• Welcome customer to store, to smile, remember their names etc.
– Hard Skills• Use Cash Register, Mix drinks etc.
‘Just Say Yes’ Policy• Empowered partners to provide best service possible, even if it meant
going beyond company rules• E.g. Customer spills drink & asks for a refill, we give it!• E.g. Customer doesn’t have cash & wants to pay by check, then we
give drink as a free sample• Don’t want to win argument & lose customer
Delivering on Service
• Train Baristas– The complexity of the drink required them to be trained
to make it in a given time– But if a customer walks in & asks for customization then
the barista must be able to finish it soon without hampering other customer orders
• Challenging Role of partners– In early days, easy to strike a conversation with customer
& keep them engaged– But today long queues of customers at the door gives less
time for a customer interaction
Measuring Service Performance
• “Customer Snapshot” – A Mystery Shopper program done 3 times a quarter
– Speed of Service• How long did the customer have to wait? (Goal was to serve in 3 minutes from back
of line to drink in hand)
– Product Quality• Was the order filled accurately?• Was the temperature of the drink within the range?• Was the beverage properly presented?
– Cleanliness• Was the store clean? The counters, the tables, the restrooms?
– Service• Did the partner verbally greet the customer• Did they make eye contact & say thank you?
