Mobile order chaos at peak

Pre-ordered drinks pile up faster than baristas can produce them. 15+ min waits common.

Stars Rewards still works for daily drinkers

Tied to the daily latte habit. 25 stars for a free drink works out to ~5% return.

Mobile order + pickup works

Order on the app, walk in, grab the cup. Saves the line. Works well at lower-volume locations; chaotic at downtown stores.

Rewards program slowly degraded

Earning rates and redemption thresholds have gotten less generous. Still convenient if you commute past one.
