Storytelling is core to Starbucks’ success, and it starts at the top with the company’s chief storyteller, executive chairman Howard Schultz. Schultz is one of the best brand storytellers I’ve ever met. For more than 30 years, Schultz has re-told the now famous origin story of the trip to Italy that inspired him to turn a coffee roasting company into a “third place” between work and home. Schultz often tells another origin story—the story about his father’s struggle to care for his family when he lost his job.

Quality Vs. Quick Service: The Difference Between Starbucks And McDonald's

The average number of daily customers at a Starbucks store is less than a third of what McDonald’s handles every day and, despite this significant difference, Starbucks’ annual revenues are higher than McDonald’s. The reason for Starbucks’ higher revenues despite a lower volume of customers is that the average spend per customer visit at a Starbucks store is almost three times that of a customer at a McDonald’s restaurant. Starbucks’ business model is aimed at high spending customers and, hence, its stores are geared for a lower daily volume, compared to McDonald’s quick service format. McDonald’s is working on a transformation and introducing more “gourmet” menu items, which should increase the average customer spend per visit.
