Complexity is killing Starbucks.
Making all those double shots, swirls, and flavors slows down orders, annoys staff, and puts a drag on the company’s finances.
“Starbucks says there are more than 170,000 possible drink combinations available, but outside estimates have put the number at more than 300 billion. And the person in front of you always seems to be ordering 100 million of them,” Inc. editor at large Bill Saporito has joked in the New York Times.
