Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker, and Zev Siegl established Starbucks in 1971, opening the
company's first location in Seattle close to the iconic Pike Place Market. Both their academic
backgrounds and their shared love of coffee and tea were traits shared by the three founders
When Howard Schultz walked into the store in 1981, he had plans to establish a powerful
corporation and grow the high-end coffee industry under the name Starbucks. Starbucks Air
aims to accomplish product innovation, store expansion, and long-term service excellence
while offering its customers high-quality coffee (UKEssays, 2018). Under Schultz's
leadership, the network of coffee shops grew from having fewer than 20 outlets to more than
100 in just four years. After the company went public in 1992, Starbucks' growth remained
explosive. In 1996, Starbucks opened its first outlets outside of North America, and it soon
expanded to become the largest coffee company globally. By the end of the decade,
Starbucks Corp., also known as Starbucks, sells specialty coffee. Roasted specialty coffee is
promoted and sold in cafes. Through its shops, the company provides a range of coffee
blends, artisan beverages, housewares, and culinary products. Starbucks also sells prepared
beverages, pastries, whole bean, and ground coffee, as well as other alcoholic beverages.
Some of its brands include Teavana, Evolution Fresh, Starbucks Reserve, Princi, Seattle's
Best Coffee, and Ethos. Through its owned and licenced stores, the firm operates throughout
Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. (Global data, 2022)

Starbucks has always appreciated the importance of the customer experience. Why would

day, its more than 200,000 employees deliver that experience (Starbucks calls them partners).

Starbucks training is continually changing, developing, and getting better. When new workers
start a job, they are seldom given the chance to make errors. They are usually accompanied
by a shop manager or learning coach as they get the hang of things. Starbucks uses the Tell,
Show, Do method. What baristas learn throughout training Tell. Show is when the learning
coach demonstrates how to do something precisely, and Do is when the barista does the task
while the learning coach watches to help, instruct, and commend them (Fowler, n.d.)
