Starbucks on campus discontinues Boost Mobile ordering; brings back in-person and mobile ordering. 

Starbucks in the Nancy Thompson Learning Commons has gone back to using online ordering through the Starbucks app, as well as ordering in person, starting October 4th. This is a big change, since the return to campus, students and faculty have gone through having to order through the Boost Mobile app. 

“It has made it so much easier and a timesaver ordering from the app”, says Andrea Shaw, a student. 

Boost Mobile seemed to be a challenge for the employees in Starbucks since they continuously stated to students that they could not keep up with the orders.

Now, orders can be seen by the employees as soon as the order is sent to Starbucks. The employees now do not have to worry about waiting until the next time slot to fulfill orders that were given to them previously. 

Students used to be lined up for a while outside of Starbucks, waiting for their orders. Now, there are significantly fewer people waiting for their orders outside of Starbucks, due to the lack of orders that were backed up. Students and faculty have less time waiting for their orders and have more time to get to classes and do work.
