Starbucks to debut delivery in Manhattan, Seattle this year

MOBILE PUSH: Starbucks' chief digital officer Adam Brotman said the coffee chain will also partner with delivery service Postmates Inc in its hometown of Seattle, and will be linked to mobile order and pay.

Starbucks Corp will begin offering delivery in New York City and Seattle later this year, when it also plans to expand mobile order and pay services across the United States. 

The new efforts, announced at Starbucks' annual meeting, come as US restaurant chains ranging from McDonald's Corp to Panera Bread Co turn to technology to increase sales, speed up service and connect with young, tech-savvy consumers.
