Memo to Starbucks CEO Niccol: You're Out of Food
Briefly

Starbucks is experiencing operational difficulties, particularly regarding food inventory shortages, leading to customer dissatisfaction. Many locations run out of food, prompting customers to seek alternatives. Menu cutbacks intended to improve service speed are instead complicating customer experience. Additionally, cleanliness issues and a lack of adequate seating hinder the company's goal of becoming a community coffeehouse. Recent decisions by CEO Brian Niccol, such as increased in-office requirements for managers, may negatively impact staff morale. Without improved inventory and operational management, Starbucks risks losing customers to competitors.
Starbucks runs out of food at some locations, which invites customers to leave and buy their food elsewhere. This significantly undermines the company's competitive position.
The inventory issue undercuts Starbucks' goals, leading to fewer drink and food options which are expected to reduce service times but are having the opposite effect.
