Starbucks tests out delivery service
Workers in one of New York City’s most iconic skyscrapers no longer need to leave their desks to get their Pumpkin Spice Latte fix.
Starbucks started offering delivery within the Empire State building, giving office workers in the skyscraper the option of paying a $2 fee to avoid making a trip to the lobby.
Starbucks baristas, working in a kitchen on the 33rd Street side of the Empire State Building, will prepare the orders and deliver them within a 30-minute time-frame.
Later this year, Starbucks plans to launch in Seattle its pilot delivery service with Postmates, an on-demand delivery service that is already popular in many big cities.
