Starbucks Cambodia/Laos’ Post

In 2024, Starbucks Malaysia experienced notable financial setbacks, reporting a loss of RM91.5 million. This marks a sharp decline from the RM103 million profit recorded the previous year. Contributing factors include intensified competition from local coffee brands like Zus Coffee and Gigi Coffee, which appeal to consumers with affordable prices and localized offerings. Additionally, ongoing political and social boycotts have led some consumers to seek alternatives that align more closely with their values. In response to these challenges, Starbucks Malaysia has closed several outlets temporarily and permanently but reassigned affected employees, avoiding layoffs. Despite the loss, Starbucks Malaysia is focused on resilience and adaptation, including potential shifts in pricing strategies to attract more budget-conscious customers. but noooo..this is Egypt

ASU Online and Starbucks work together (collaboration). More than 12,000 Starbucks attend ASU Online and tuition for 12 hours per semester is $3,8000. Starbucks pays only tuition not books and only ASU online school not other schools. Majority of Starbucks employees graduate form ASU Online. One Starbucks store that I visit has 4 graduates employees who are still working in the store and cannot find jobs in their major fields. Online schools are not good and students do not have confident in what they learn. If Starbucks were a good company his employees tuitions & books could be paid by attending any schools not ASU Online.

Finding Productivity in New Places ☕️💻 Working from home every day can sometimes feel monotonous, and we all need a change of scenery to refresh our minds and boost our productivity. For me, that place is Starbucks . The atmosphere, the aroma of coffee, and my current favorite summer drink, the Mango Dragon Fruit Lemonade (insert chef's kiss 🤌), create the perfect environment for me to focus and get things done. (A golden buttery croissant also helps on slow days! 😉🥐) Whether it's studying for certifications, applying for jobs, or working on projects, a little change in environment can make a huge difference. It doesn't have to be Starbucks; it could be any place that brings you joy and helps you stay productive. What's your go-to spot for a productivity boost? 🤗 #Productivity #WorkFromAnywhere #ChangeOfScenery #Upskill #Certifications #Starbucks

In a restaurant, not all staff excel in the same areas some may be slower, while others are quicker. However, this doesn't diminish their value. Each team member brings unique strengths, whether it's attention to detail, excellent customer service, or a positive attitude. These diverse skills contribute to the overall success of the operation. Recognizing and leveraging individual talents ensures that everyone plays a vital role, rather than being underrated for their differences. #employeedevelopment #motivation #traininganddevelopment #restaurantmanagement

Trent Gilbert, experiential thinking and co-creator of campus visit consulting, sent me this CNN article about how once heralded experience stager (and Strategic Horizons LLP EXPY winner) Starbucks is now a commodity, or as our friend Joe Pine, co-author of The Experience Economy and referenced in the article would say, "has been commoditized" (I posted earlier about there being 333 billion versions of a Starbucks latte). In our enrollment campus visit consulting work, now with Echo Delta, as consultants we can say much is the same of campus visits. They are all the same, sound the same, marketed the same so in a similar fashion have also been commoditized. Like Starbucks, it is time for VPEM's to shift the "personality" of their campus visits. This is why we've launched three new types of enrollment campus visit consulting: essentials, experiences and excursions.

Exciting classroom discussions often unveil real-world insights! Recently, while discussing Porter's Generic Strategies, we delved into a compelling example from the coffee industry. I am the sort who likes to bring in daily life examples so students are in a position to co-relate with Strategic Management concepts! We examined how Tim Hortons exemplifies Cost Leadership, capturing a broad target market with affordable offerings. However, a student's anecdote about their Starbucks experience sparked a riveting debate among the participants! This student recounted a remarkable encounter at Starbucks, where their complex order didn't meet expectations. Promptly, the barista not only remade the drink but also extended an invitation to personalize it to satisfaction, FREE of charge. This real-life scenario beautifully showcased Starbucks' differentiation strategy, underlining its commitment to superior customer service and personalized experiences. It emphasized how such practices, though seemingly generous, are integral to maintaining a competitive edge in a crowded market. The ensuing classroom dialogue delved into the ethical implications of such service policies, offering a nuanced exploration of the delicate balance between customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Such engagements illustrate the power of bridging theoretical concepts with practical examples, enriching learning experiences, and preparing students for the complexities of real-world business environments. #BusinessStudies #Education #Marketing #StrategicManagement #CorporateCommunications

Throwback to over 10 years ago, with the BBQ Nights team in Malaysia, after our first movie outing together. When I joined BBQ Nights, the business was at a crossroads. Sales were at an all-time low due to some major staff changes—especially in the kitchen. I had zero experience in F&B, but what I did have was instinct and a clear vision: engage with the team. I wasn’t just a boss; I was one of them. I started by listening—really listening—to the staff on the ground, from the chefs to the cashiers to the cleaners. What challenges did they face? What ideas did they have? From there, we implemented changes: regular meetings, incentivization, a balanced holiday schedule, and above all, a culture where everyone felt part of the process. Fast forward 1.5 years: not only did we reverse the revenue slide, but we became a top 10 destination on TripAdvisor, consistently earning certificates of excellence year on year. It was never about strategy alone. It was about bringing people together, motivating them, and creating an environment where everyone felt invested in the outcome. That’s where the magic happened. In the end, leadership is about people. Not titles, not profits, but PEOPLE. The ultimate takeaway? Empowerment and collaboration will always drive results. Thanks to this incredible team, we did it. Here’s to the power of trust, teamwork, and making sure everyone has a seat at the table. #Leadership #Teamwork #Growth #FNB #Gratitude

A meeting with a team I met for the first time: 1. The meeting started off stiff. 2. People felt the need to prove themselves to me. 3. Each participant presented their work to showcase their value. 4. Hesitantly, I said something informal: "Let’s put aside the usual approach for a moment. If you had a magic wand, what would you want to improve to make PepsiCo better?" 5. To my delight, the team began sharing creative ideas and aspirations that hadn’t surfaced before. 6. After the workday, I took the team out for a casual outing, creating a more relaxed atmosphere. 7. During the outing, people started opening up about their real challenges. 8. Thanks to the openness, we discussed practical solutions for those issues. 9. The next day, the team built a clear action plan to address the challenges. 10. With this open dialogue, we saved months of work on misguided directions and focused on valuable solutions. * Overly casual environments lead to inefficiency and a lack of professionalism. * Overly formal ones create distance and prevent genuine connection. * Striking a balance between formality and informality fosters openness and creativity within a structured framework.

✨ From Brewing Coffee to Brewing Marketing Success ✨ My journey with Starbucks has been more than just about coffee—it’s been about people, leadership, and creating meaningful experiences.
