It is understood that the service charge for Starbucks takeout is 9 yuan, and it has also developed a hot and cold patent cup lid for takeout, which solves the problem of beverage spilling in takeout service; coffee also separates hot and cold for distribution, providing sealing stickers for exclusive paper bags. In terms of service experience, Starbucks said in an interview with Changjiang Business Daily that "takeout windows and exclusive takeout shelves will be provided, which will not affect the experience of customers in the store."

Lu Shengzhen, a brand marketing expert, said in an interview with Changjiang Business Daily, "with the emergence of coffee takeout such as Mai Le delivery, Luckin Coffee, Special Star delivery and other coffee takeout, the threshold of competition in the industry is also gradually raising. on the one hand, consumers are looking forward to fast and convenient services. at the same time, delivery services and food quality are also increasingly demanding. In the future, the coffee market will be more diversified and more competitive. "
