Starbucks annual sales is ~$40B across 37k+ stores.

At such scale, it’s very profitable to shave a few seconds off each order.

Per Bloomberg, Starbucks would make an extra ~$900m a year if each store served 5 extra patrons per day.

That’s why Starbucks is spending $450m on a new bar setup called Siren System (video below), where the key ingredients — dairy, pumps, caffeine, ice — are placed in a new optimized counter.

Take a Mocha Frappuccino:

▫️Under the existing system, it takes 16 steps and 87 seconds
▫️Under Siren System, it will be 14 steps and 36 seconds.

There are currently 383 billion potential drink combinations at Starbucks. And orders have gotten so ridiculously elaborate, that the average wait time is 5 minutes.

Why does Starbucks put up with the extra? Cause “extras” on the order are worth $1B a year.

For people like me — who just want a simple black Trenta iced coffee — it’s kinda annoying.

The Siren System will be in 40% of US stores by 2026. Can’t wait for the full rollout to more efficiently put caffeine down my skull.

An unfortunate trend: Adult loneliness.

• 1 in 3 Americans report feeling lonely often
• 12% say they don't have close friends
• Adults under 30 feel the most lonely

Here's the story of a biz that turned this sad trend into a $2.4M/yr opportunity:

Remember what I said here?

The Indian social media support for Israel has rattled the friends of Islamist terrorists everywhere.

Al-Jazeera is complaining about it. Pakistani media is complaining about it. Heck, Western leftist media is complaining about it too.

Like I said, the Indian social media presence in favor of Israel tips the balance.

Besides, much of the Indian support is coming from a place of understanding. After all, Indian Hindus know very well what it's like to experience and fight back terrorism. Indian Hindus know very well what it is like to be subjugated by foreign invaders for centuries. Indian Hindu Pandits have faced heinous crimes at the hands of terrorists in Kashmir. Most Indians know that the fight against terrorism is a common fight.

And as posts from Israeli official and unofficial accounts would tell you, this Indian support isn't going unnoticed in Israel.

So keep it up. Cheers.
