☆ Passengers at San Francisco airport are being told to bring their own food due to restaurant workers striking
  + stars: | 2022-09-26 | by ( Mary Meisenzahl | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Roughly 1,000 fast food workers at San Francisco International Airport are striking, saying they are experiencing stagnant wages and chronic understaffing. Most fast food workers at the airport make $17.05 an hour, which has remained flat for three years, the union said. The SFO Airport Restaurant Employer Council, which manages the 84 restaurants for the airport, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Airport food and drinks have grown more expensive, which could lead to further disparity in menu prices compared to wages, as in the case of the San Francisco workers. The SFO strike is open-ended, meaning there is no planned end date.

  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Mary Meisenzahl | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Insider spoke to nine US Starbucks workers to hear their thoughts on the announcement. Workers told Insider that they want changes that will make their jobs easier, but not at the expense of their craft. And a new system for making cold brew is even more of an overhaul: So called "cold-pressed" technology will allow baristas to make cold brew in a few seconds compared to the 20 hours it now takes to brew the stuff. And cold drinks are important to the company: Iced drinks now make up about 70% of Starbucks' sales, CEO Howard Schultz said recently. "I think the new cold brewer will save a ton of time and tedious work," a supervisor from Detroit told Insider.

Although the partnership with Beyond Meat has been in the works for years, this announcement comes amid a tumultuous time for the plant-based meat company.
☆ 'Line balk' is one of the biggest obstacles facing popular chains like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A — here's what it is and how they're fighting it

Starbucks and Chick-fil-A executives have said that long drive-thru lines keep away customers. Long drive-thru lines are "one of the number one reasons for not visiting Starbucks," Chief Marketing Office Brady Brewer told investors in Seattle at the company's investor day on September 13. Potential customers see the long line from the road and decide not to join, or leave from the end of the line before ordering, which is referred to as "line balk," at Starbucks, Brewer said. Chick-fil-A famously deals with the same problem, with its long lines regularly making headlines and frustrating local lawmakers and neighboring business owners. In 2021, exiting CEO Dan Cathy said how much business lines could be costing the chain.

Iced drinks now make up about 70% of Starbucks' sales, Schultz said, and they're particularly popular with younger Gen Z and Millenial customers, driving sales growth. To better accommodate this demand for iced drinks, Starbucks unveiled new, faster methods of making cold brew and frappuccinos at investor day.
