The president of Starbucks Canada, Roseann Williams, has told The Toronto Star that its thousands of locations across Canada will be serving an “evening menu” of wine, beer and tapas by the end of this year. There will also be a delivery service of some type. The story says this move is driven by flat coffee sales and a need to appeal to the 60 percent of the Starbucks clientele which is female. It is an interesting strategy and the questions abound. Many women arrive at Starbucks behind a stroller, even after six. The baby bottle is as common as a latte in a lot of places. Will that mix work? Then there’s the food thing. Tapas is a Spanish word meaning cold or hot small dishes. Most people are familiar with this type of eating. Ms.Williams mentions flat bread, olives, nuts and cheese. These seem to be cold dishes. No mention of hot. Recalling the Starbucks lunch, the company’s history with food has not been outstanding. The question will arise as to whether the tapas is being done on the cheap. Will it look as tempting as the dishes at Tinto Bar de Tapas? Read all about it.
