3 reasons why the Starbucks app would fail at your restaurant

Most of us like our morning coffee, many of us love it – and some of us can’t live without it. That means coffee shops can depend on highly routine, habitual transactions made by loyal coffee customers who might visit more than a dozen times a month. One could almost hear the glee in Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz’s words as he described "the Starbucks daily ritual” on the company’s 2014 Q1 Earnings Call late last month. And that’s the essence of Starbucks’ success in convincing more than 10 million customers to use their smartphones to make mobile payments at the cash register.
According to Schultz, Starbucks is now processing well over 5 million mobile payment transactions each week (14 percent of Starbucks’ tenders), making the brand the "undisputed leader in digital retail technology.” Many restaurants and retailers would agree with Schultz’s self-assessment, and there may soon be an opportunity for Starbucks to deliver a white-label app to its admiring peers. On the April 24 call, Schultz hedged his commentary on this topic, stating:
Sunlight, they say, is the best disinfectant. Cricket, a beautiful game in sunlight, should bring the corruption in its back alleys on to the field. Put it right up there on the scoreboard.
This, I realise, is about the last thing a once-respectable game would want to do. But it has reached a point when this game has nothing to lose. The International Cricket Council is getting nowhere with discreet investigations of match fixing.
Inviting players to speak confidentially to its anti-corruption unit about any approaches made to them has not been effective. It is going to be even less successful after Brendon McCullum's experience this week. The leak of his testimony is unlikely to entice any more to come forward.
After waiting so long for prosecutions by its governing body, cricket has passed the point of public credibility. Nobody likes to say this out loud but when talking about an unexpected result in cricket, the usual sporting accolades, "winning against the odds", "a turn up for the books", no longer sound metaphorical.
