DoorDash and Starbucks have announced plans to expand their partnership, which will see access to the delivery service in all 50 US states by March of this year to maximize access for consumers.
The delivery expansion comes on the heels of a pilot test that took place in several parts of the US and is reported to offer 95% of the in-store menu items directly through DoorDash. Patrons will be able to customize their order just like they would if ordering in-person, which includes choice of espresso roast, milk preference and even syrups, if desired.
The DoorDash and Starbucks delivery expansion won't cost DashPass customers any additional fees to have their order delivered, while the brand's standard service and delivery fees will apply for all others.
