A brand new method to spend $10 on a 12-ounce espresso simply dropped. Beginning immediately, Starbucks is accepting delivery orders right inside its app. Supply is dealt with by DoorDash, and proper now, it’s restricted to “taking part shops” within the US and Canada. However when you’re within the supply space and prepared to pay a small fortune in charges, getting your Starbucks order into your palms has by no means been simpler.
Starbucks has been offering delivery through DoorDash within the US since early final 12 months, however solely inside Doordash’s app. Beforehand, order forward choices within the Starbucks app have been restricted to in-store and drive-through pickup. Now, you may toggle between pickup and supply. Inserting a supply order brings up an interface equivalent to the one on DoorDash’s app.
Whichever app you utilize, you may as well anticipate to pay DoorDash’s service charges. There’s a $1.99 supply charge, and in case your order subtotal is underneath $10, you may see a $2.00 small order charge. There’s additionally a 15 p.c service cost that goes to DoorDash, and the place I dwell in Seattle, an extra $4.99 charge as a result of the corporate determined to pass on the cost of paying drivers a living wage to customers. Add a $1 tip for the driving force (and nothing for the barista making the drink, apparently), and my $6.55 12-ounce peppermint mocha now prices $19.23. Comfort doesn’t come low-cost, unsurprisingly.
Relying on the place you reside, you in all probability received’t see such steep charges, and the supply possibility is probably going extra sensible when you’re ordering espresso for the entire workplace and never one particular person. Personally, I’m deleting that $20 mocha order from my cart. We have now espresso at dwelling.
