Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol highlighted that mobile ordering has significantly affected the brand's connection with its customers, describing it as having 'chipped away' at its soul. He noted that the reliance on mobile orders diminished the personal interactions staff had with customers, which is integral to the Starbucks experience. To address this, Niccol has implemented changes to make stores more inviting, such as redesigning seating and reintroducing ceramic mugs. Additionally, a new algorithm for mobile ordering aims to improve efficiency without compromising customer service quality.
