The delivery – coming in 2015 – will be available to customers enrolled in the Starbucks loyalty program through a Mobile Order and Pay app debuting in Portland next month. The new app will enable customers in select markets to order and pay with their Smartphone.
"Imagine the ability to create a standing order of Starbucks delivered hot to your desk daily," Schultz said. "That's our version of e-commerce on steroids."
The initiative comes as the Seattle-based company reported sales that didn’t meet Wall Street expectations during its fiscal fourth quarter.
