The Challenge
Starbucks customers placing large group orders often experience slow checkout times, confusion in customization options, and difficulty tracking multiple drinks in a single order.
Baristas also face workflow disruptions when handling bulk orders manually, leading to longer wait times and potential mistakes in order fulfillment.
How might we create a seamless kiosk experience that simplifies bulk ordering while reducing strain on baristas?
The solution
The Starbucks Large Order Kiosk is a touchscreen interface designed for bulk ordering efficiency. The system enables customers to quickly select, customize, and review multiple drinks in one streamlined flow. A real-time order summary panel ensures accuracy, and a smart grouping feature categorizes similar drinks to optimize preparation for baristas. By focusing on speed, clarity, and ease of customization, the kiosk improves both customer satisfaction and in-store efficiency.
