Starbucks, the Seattle-based coffee chain, has announced the addition of three new drinks and a savory food option while simplifying its menu. The company is removing 13 drinks from its menu to focus on fewer, more popular items and improve customer wait times. The menu simplification is part of a plan to enhance innovation, reduce wait times, and align with Starbucks’ core identity as a coffee company.
In addition to menu changes, Starbucks is also restructuring its corporate workforce, eliminating 1,100 support partner roles and several hundred open positions. The restructuring is part of CEO Brian Niccol’s previously announced plan to streamline operations.
Customers can explore recommended alternative beverages for the removed menu items, such as the Green Tea Lemonade and Mocha Frappuccino. The new limited-edition spring menu will feature lavender beverages, an Iced Cherry Chai, and a Jalapeño Chicken Pocket.
