In the home, specialty coffee was

estimated to be a $3.2 billion business, of
which Starbucks was estimated to have a

4% share.
In the food-service channel, specialty
coffee was estimated to be a $5
billion business, of which Starbucks
was estimated to have a 5% share
In grocery stores, Starbucks was estimated

to have a 7.3% share in the ground-coffee
category and a 21.7% share in the whole-

beans category.
It was estimated that over the next
several years, the overall retail market
would grow less than 1% per annum,
but growth in the specialty-coffee
category would be strong, with
compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 9% to 10%
Starbucks’ U.S. business was projected to grow at a
CAGR of approximately 20% top-line revenue growth

Starbucks: Delivering Customer Service

QUESTIONS
Questions 1

FACTORS ACCOUNTED FOR THE EXTRA-ORDINARY
SUCCESS OF STARBUCKS IN THE EARLY 1990’S?
“Buying coffee as a drink, The experience of enjoying coffee”
 Changed the coffee drinking experience in the U.S
 Starbucks wanted to create a chain of coffeehouses that would become America’s
‘Third place’

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)

through the door.”

customer within 3 minutes

re drink, they did provide
Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)

standards
Target Audience

the affluent, well ‐ educated,
white ‐ collar people (Age
group: 25 – 44)
Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 2

WHAT WAS SO COMPELLING ABOUT THE
STARBUCKS VALUE PROPOSITION
 It places the customer and the service delivered to the customer above everything else.
 It moved away from the tangible benefits that the coffee offers, such as taste to intangible
benefits of experiencing a Starbucks coffee

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
The Brand Image
 Starbucks was known for being widely available

 Their specialty coffee, and being trendy.
 Customers also though that the stores were clean and were satisfied with the
Starbucks product.

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 3

WHY HAS STARBUCKS’ CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
SCORES DECLINED? OR IS IT MEASURING IT IN A
WRONG WAY
Despite the overwhelming presence and convenience, the
scores declined
 There was very little image or product differentiation between Starbucks
and the smaller coffee chains

 The brand image of Starbucks also had some rough edges

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Market research data shows that customer satisfaction has declined
The satisfaction level of customers varies with the type of customer.

The demographics of its customers are changing
Expectations could have increased
 It set the standards very high for its customers
 With the expansion and product innovation, it was not able to meet the standards
 Customized drinks might have had harmful effect
 Increasing lead time

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Starbucks is measuring much on how people view the company
 More customers were beginning to agree with the fact the Starbucks cared
primarily about making money and building more stores.
 Generally customers are satisfied with the coffee.

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 4

HOW HAS STARBUCKS CHANGED SINCE
EARLY DAYS?
Retail Expansion
The store had expanded rapidly, from 140 stores in 1992 to 4500 stores in 2002

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Product Concentration
 In 1992, about half of the company’s sales came from sales of whole ‐ bean coffees
whereas in 2002 about 77% of the sales came from beverages.

 Product Innovation Strategy
 The company had added new products in menu and also sold equipment and accessories

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Customer base
 “Customers going to the Starbucks”  “Starbucks going to the
customers”

 There was a change in the demographic profile of the customer base
 Affluent, upper class professionals  Young and low income group

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Brand Image
 The Starbucks image to the public started changing

 1992 : ‘Third Place’: Get the best coffee and relax
 2002: A convenient place to hangout and the coffee was just good

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 5

DESCRIBE THE IDEAL STARBUCKS CUSTOMER FROM
A PROFITABILITY STANDPOINT.
The ideal customer from a profitability standpoint is
 The loyal customer who visits the store 18 times a month
 Service time in all stores not exceed 3 mins
 Improve customer throughput
 Reach as close to $20000 level in terms of weekly sales

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 6

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO ENSURE THAT THIS
CUSTOMER IS HIGHLY SATISFIED? HOW VALUABLE
IS A HIGHLY SATISFIED CUSTOMER TO STARBUCKS?
 Cater to their needs and match/exceed their expectations.
 Ensure service is as fast as customer wants it to be
 Add lounging areas and more comfortable chairs and tables so
that customers feel relaxed when using hotspot also
 Customer satisfaction -> loyalty-> increase in average ticket size->

higher profits

Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
Questions 7

SHOULD STARBUCKS MAKE THE $40 MILLION
INVESTMENT IN LABOUR IN THE STORES?
Yes!!
 Allocate the money based on size of store, number of customers,

location and need for additional labour instead of apportioning the $40
million equally to all the stores

 Apart from making the investment, Starbucks need to look more into
their customer base and improve on their brand image and value
proposition
Courtesy: Ramya, Vighnesh, Venketraman, Sharath (Amrita School of Business, Coimbatore)
