Off-Prem Vs. In-Store Investments for Cafes

Starbucks is investing heavily in the in-cafe experience, planning to add more than 25,000 cafe seats across U.S. units by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, drive-thru-first brands like 7 Brew, Scooter's Coffee and Dutch Bros continue to post significant growth with minimal on-prem cafe investment.

Over the next five years, which approach do you predict will drive more growth for coffee operators: doubling down on off-prem convenience, or investing in the in-cafe experience?
Please select one of the following options.
