Starbucks has a mobile app problem, and its incoming CEO Brian Niccol may have the answer. The former Chipotle chief executive oversaw the burrito chain’s booming digital operations, which have benefitted in part from enticing promotions and separate lanes for preparing mobile orders. In Chipotle’s most recent quarter, online orders accounted for 35% of revenue. At Starbucks, digital orders aren’t quite the same boon. Detractors have cited crowded cafes and long wait times stemming from an overwhelming number of mobile orders as among the operational challenges that are weighing down Starbucks’ sales. Niccol’s task once he takes the coffee chain chief role: fix what longtime CEO Howard Schultz recently called Starbucks’ “biggest Achilles heel.”
