Starbucks Mobile Order & Pay Launches in Vancouver

Beginning today, January 19th, Starbucks Canada has made its innovative mobile ordering feature, Mobile Order & Pay, available to both Apple and Android users in the Vancouver Lower Mainland. This convenient feature will be available at over 130 store locations in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster.

Following a successful launch in Toronto in September, ordering via the Starbucks mobile app is quickly becoming the fastest and easiest way for Starbucks customers to order ahead, then pick up their purchases at their preferred location, providing on-the-go customers a quick and simple alternative to get some of their favourite food or beverage items.

Starbucks was the first national retailer to offer its own mobile payment technology combined with a loyalty program.  Today, mobile payments represent 18% of all in store transactions in Canadian Starbucks stores and more than 1 million Canadians are active My Starbucks Rewards members.   With the Mobile Order & Pay feature, customers have the same Starbucks experience they would have in store, including the ability to customize orders in-app with the convenience and speed of placing and paying for an order in advance. Estimated pick up times are shown in the app before a customer confirms their order.

“The simple, convenience of Mobile Order & Pay means customers can bypass the line.  We know that sometimes our customers have to choose between going to Starbucks and making their next meeting or appointment. This represents a significant opportunity for us to enhance the customer experience and save our busy customers some time.” – Jessica Mills, director, brand and digital, Starbucks Canada.
