The worst part of buying a cup of coffee every morning is to wait in line with dozens of other bad-tempered travelers who are looking for a dose of caffeine. Luckily for you, Starbucks and Uber have a solution.
Starbucks announced on Tuesday that it will partner with Uber to deliver coffee, snacks and other beverages and food in the six major US cities. UU Customers can place delivery orders using the Uber Eats application.
Starbucks is launching its delivery program today in San Francisco, and will launch it to stores in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Washington DC in the coming weeks.
The company says that when the program is fully implemented, delivery will be available in about a quarter of Starbucks stores in the United States (about 3,500 branches), and people will be able to order about 95 percent of their menu through by Uber Eats. the application

The coffee giant also says it has developed “packaging solutions” to ensure that coffee stays warm within the promised 30-minute delivery time. The only drawback: any delivery order made through Uber Eats will come with a $ 2.49 booking fee added to the total price.
But if you’re already paying high prices for a brand-name cup of coffee, maybe an extra $ 2.49 is not such a bad thing anyway.
