NEW YORK (AP) â Starbucks says it will launch delivery in parts of Seattle and New York City in the second half of this year. Here's how it will work:
âThere will be no minimum purchase required.
âThere will be a small flat fee for delivery, but the exact amount hasn't been determined.
âDelivery workers will accept tips.
âThe average delivery time will be about 30 minutes starting with the placement of the order.
âDelivery hours are still to be determined.
âIn New York City, the service will be available in office buildings, including the Empire State Building. People will be able to place their orders on websites from existing or newly built shops, the latter of which may have trimmed down menus. Starbucks workers will make the deliveries.
âIn Seattle, the service will be available in specific areas, including homes and offices. Starbucks will partner with a company called Postmate to make the deliveries.
