What does a store that seems to have everything hopes for next? Get an App of course.
In this digital age everyone seems to be more on their phones than anything else. If it is not available in a phone is no longer important, or so it seems. So with this in mind, the mega coffee guru known as Startbucks decides to up one more by creating a Startbucks Card Mobile App. This app is incredible, you can see where the local stores are, contact numbers, directions, and if they are currently open for business or what their hours of operations are....very useful on holidays when the hours are not what you are used to.
You can also save your drink order so that you can repeat that wonderful experience of a great drink, or to remember those confusing orders that your friend requests when you are picking up their drink.
There is more, remember that wonderful Starbucks card that gives you a free drink on your birthday? well you can have your information such as the card number and use it to pay for drinks without having to carry the card with you, just by waving the phone which has a unique barcode on its screen over a barcode reader at the register.
So what does this mean for Startbucks?
Convenience? Check
Ease of use? Check
Speedy checkout? Check
Compatibility? Unfortunately, this is only available for the iPhone through Apple's App Store; but don't worry, they are working on an Android version.
But how secure and accurate is this? Well, that my friends is still waiting to be determined.
Bring on the Java!
