Starbucks is cutting 1,100 jobs and simplifying its menu in the US as it tries to improve flagging business in its home market. The first items to get the axe include the Royal English Breakfast Latte, White Hot Chocolate and several kinds of blended frappuccinos. But Starbucks said more offerings would be cut, as it aims to shrink its menu by nearly a third over the next year, hoping to reduce wait times and improve quality and consistency.
Main Idea: Starbucks is cutting jobs and trimming its US menu as Brian Niccol pushes a turnaround plan to speed service and improve sales.
Key Points:
Starbucks job cuts may mean fewer corporate jobs and a weaker local spending boost, while a smaller menu could disappoint some customers.
Faster service and more consistent drinks could improve the experience for many US customers.
