These contracts, which span a period of three years, are a crucial part of the company's Rs 55,000 crore capital expenditure (capex) plan. The investment will focus on expanding 4G coverage, launching 5G services, and meeting the growing demand for data in India. The debt-laden telecom operator announced the deal as it strives to regain market share in an increasingly competitive industry.

The company confirmed that supplies under the new contract would begin arriving in the next quarter. In a statement, Vodafone Idea said that its primary goal is to enhance 4G connectivity across India while simultaneously preparing to introduce 5G technology. ""Vodafone Idea has concluded a mega, about USD 3.6 billion (around Rs 300 billion), deal with Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung for supply of network equipment over a period of three years.

Akshaya Moondra, CEO of Vodafone Idea, said as per a Livemint report, “"We have kickstarted the investment cycle. We are on our journey of VIL 2.0 and from hereon, VIL will stage a smart turnaround to effectively participate in the industry growth opportunities. Nokia and Ericsson have been our partners since our inception and this marks another milestone in that continuing partnership. We are pleased to start our new partnership with Samsung. We look forward to work closely with all our partners as we move into the 5G era." (With Reuters and PTI inputs)

Now, TikTok wants in on that action.After the monumental success of "BookTok" — a community of bibliophiles on the platform that discusses books and shares what they are reading — TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, started publishing digital books through its publishing company, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-bytedance-may-form-book-publisher-8th-note-press-trademark-2023-5">8th Note Press</a>, last year.8th Note Press is now teaming up with Zando, an independent publishing company, to release a line of print novels to sell in retail stores starting in 2025."This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for 8th Note Press," Jacob Bronstein, head of editorial and marketing, told Business Insider in a statement. "By joining forces with Zando, we'll be able to expand our reach and bring our amazing books to even more people in all the formats in which they love to read."Molly Stern, Zando's founder and CEO, told BI that 8th Note's list of book titles "encompasses some of the freshest and fastest growing genres out there."BookTok's viral videos have rocketed both new and experienced authors to fame over the last three years.Sales of Colleen Hoover's 2016 romance novel "It Ends with Us," for instance, jumped 650% in 2021, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-authors-and-publishers-are-using-tiktok-to-sell-books-2022-2">selling 1.9 million copies</a> after going viral on TikTok five years after it was originally published.Hoover's novel inspired a series of videos that garnered millions of views.

Zando told BI that 8th Note Press is focused on bringing a wide range of author voices to "millennial and Gen Z readers looking for stories that reflect their diverse experiences."The company plans to release 10 to 15 books a year, with titles that focus on genres popular with younger TikTok users, like romance and young adult fiction, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/16/books/tiktok-bytedance-8th-note-press-print.html">The New York Times</a>.Debut novelist Sanibel — who writes under a mononym — sold her book "To Have and Have More" to 8th Note Press last year.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russian President Vladimir Putin tempered expectations on de-dollarization at BRICS' summit in Kazan.</li><li>BRICS aims to use local currencies, not create a SWIFT alternative, said Putin.</li></ul>Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be tempering expectations on his de-dollarization drive.Putin has made it clear that he is keen to develop alternatives to the US dollar-denominated order. He highlighted the subject at the BRICS summit held in the Russian city of Kazan from Tuesday to Thursday.But moving away from the dollar is tough. His summit organizers advised attendees to bring <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dedollarization-russia-brics-summit-foreign-attendees-cash-usd-euros-putin-2024-10">US dollars and euros</a> because Russian banks prefer these currencies to exchange for rubles.Russia faces sweeping sanctions over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and has been locked out of the US dollar-dominated global financial system, including the widely used SWIFT financial messaging system, making payments and transactions challenging.Putin opened the summit by calling for an alternative payments system. He said he's not against the greenback but takes issue with the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/dollar-weaponization-obliterate-global-economic-integration-dedollarization-2023-7">weaponization</a> of the greenback."We are not refusing, not fighting the dollar, but if they don't let us work with it, what can we do: we then have to look for other alternatives, which is happening," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://interfax.com/newsroom/top-stories/106962/">Putin said at the summit</a> on Wednesday.The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://cdn.brics-russia2024.ru/upload/docs/Kazan_Declaration_FINAL.pdf?1729693488349783">Kazan Declaration</a>, issued Wednesday, did not mention global dollar dominance — but it highlighted alternatives."We welcome the use of local currencies in financial transactions between BRICS countries and their trading partners," said the Kazan Declaration.At a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://tass.com/economy/1861797">press conference</a> wrapping up the summit on Thursday, Putin said that the BRICS group isn't creating an alternative to SWIFT but is trying to resolve the issues of payments with national currencies.The Russian President said the financial messaging systems of Russia's central banks and other BRICS member states are "sufficient," so the group is not coming up with a new system.Putin's comments came amid reports in the past year that the BRICS group was exploring the creation of a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dedollarization-china-india-brics-common-currency-jim-oneill-economy-dollar-2023-9">common currency,</a> planning a cross-border payments system involving central banks, and exploring cryptocurrencies.At least one idea seems to be firmly on the back burner, wrote analysts from <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://think.ing.com/articles/de-dollarisation-more-brics-in-the-wall/">ING in a Wednesday note.</a>"President Putin seems to have kicked the idea of a single BRICS currency into the long grass," the ING analysts wrote."Instead, the focus is on decreasing the use of the dollar and, where possible, increasing the use of BRICS currencies," they added.<h2 id="d51dc033-b5ef-498c-9150-bc54399942bd">BRICS is a growing group that is de-dollarizing</h2>Now with nine members, BRICS is a group of emerging countries that is expected to drive global growth. They include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.A <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-23/imf-sees-growth-shift-toward-brics-away-from-g7-in-new-outlook">Bloomberg analysis</a> of the International Monetary Fund's latest growth forecasts shows that BRICS economics are likely to contribute to a bigger share of global growth over the next five years versus G7 economics, which includes the US.China — even though it's in a prolonged slowdown — is expected to be the top contributor, accounting for about one-fifth of global growth over the five years. This is a bigger share than all of the G7 countries combined.BRICS member states represent about 45% of the world's population and 37% of global GDP based on purchasing power parity.They also control 42% of bank foreign exchange reserves, "likely contributing to the global de-dollarisation process," wrote the ING analysts.ING's analysis shows the expanded BRICS group "actively de-dollarizing" financial flows — such as cross-border bank claims and border external debt — as well as using more local currencies via SWIFT.However, BRICS economies have a smaller global presence in global financial flows, limiting the impact of de-dollarization, the ING analysts added. This is also the case in the use of local currencies."This growth from a very low base is not an immediate and direct threat to the US dollar, which seems to be retaining its global dominance despite the shifting role of the USA in the global economy and markets," wrote the ING analysts."Nevertheless, BRICS+ has the potential to challenge some DM currencies in the future," they added, referring to developed markets.<h2 id="d382f3bc-8392-443e-b336-a18910bb5780">King Dollar is hard to replace</h2>Despite a desire for a more equitable monetary system, the greenback is so pervasive and entrenched in the world's financial order that it's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/de-dollarization-dollar-war-currency-usd-dominance-china-yuan-economy-2024-5">extremely difficult to dethrone.</a>And this is before factoring in the many <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-hosts-brics-summit-defy-west-us-economy-china-dollar-2024-10">competing priorities and rivalry</a> among BRICS members."The amount of intrinsic problems inside the BRICS union, in my view, makes these cross-border payment systems a kind of a red herring which would not fly anywhere higher than the idea of a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/dedollarization-us-dollar-outlook-currencies-forex-market-brics-common-currency-2023-8">BRICS currency,"</a> Alexander Kolyandr, a non-resident senior scholar at the Center for European Policy Analysis, said at a press briefing on Monday."A key element that these systems cannot easily replicate is the stability, liquidity, and convertibility of the US Dollar," wrote Tom Keatinge, the director of the Centre for Finance and Security at UK"s Royal United Services Institute, in a note a Thursday.Other issues include what countries would use the alternative currencies for and if the West would sanction such alternative systems, he said."The extent to which such alternative payment systems take root will be a function of trust in the form of payment on which the system is based and the extent to which participants in the system want to hold that alternative form of payment," wrote Keatinge.

Putin has spent years championing the idea of de-dollarization — but a new reality is setting in 

Just last month, Jio, Vodafone and <keyword id="19896909" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="airtel" source="keywords">Airtel</keyword> were making headlines for announcing hikes in their tariff plans. Users across India were talking about the new rates and were comparing them with the new ones. Talking specifically about Jio, the company raised the cost of its plans by around 10 - 27 percent. If you are a Jio subscriber, here is some good news for you. The company has recently introduced a <keyword id="21380985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="new-plan" source="keywords">new plan</keyword> under <keyword id="22851878" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rs-200" source="keywords">Rs 200</keyword> and it gives you some unlimited benefits. <h2>Jio introduces new Rs 198 <keyword id="21079302" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="prepaid-plan" source="keywords">prepaid plan</keyword></h2>Reliance-owned Jio quietly rolled out a new prepaid plan for its customers priced at Rs 198. This new offering seems to be designed to cater to users with high data consumption needs over a short period. The plan could also be a strategic move by Jio to enhance its average revenue per user (ARPU) while providing value to its customers. <h2>What the plan includes </h2>The Rs 198 prepaid plan comes with a 14-day service validity, making it a suitable option for users who require a substantial amount of data in a short timeframe. The plan includes the following benefits: Users will receive 2GB of data per day, totaling 28GB over the 14-day period. This high data limit is ideal for those who consume a lot of data daily, whether for streaming, gaming, or other online activities. Further, the plan includes unlimited voice calling, ensuring that users can stay connected with friends and family without worrying about running out of talk time. Subscribers will also receive 100 SMS per day, which can be used for messaging throughout the validity period. Beyond the core services, the Rs 198 plan also offers access to Jio’s suite of apps, including JioCloud, <keyword id="19940563" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="JioCinema" source="keywords">JioCinema</keyword>, and JioTV. These apps provide cloud storage, entertainment, and live TV services, adding further value to the plan. While the Rs 198 plan is a compelling option for heavy data users, it’s not the cheapest plan in Jio’s portfolio. The company’s most affordable offering is the Rs 189 plan, which provides a more basic set of features for users on a tighter budget.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Nike's new CEO, Elliott Hill, started as an intern and climbed the corporate ladder over 30 years.</li><li>Hill's career trajectory is rare, with most firms preferring external candidates for top roles.</li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nikes-new-ceo-started-from-bottom-as-an-intern-2024-9">Nike's incoming CEO</a> is no stranger to the sports apparel company, beginning as an intern and working his way all the way up to the top spot.Elliott Hill will be pulled out of his four-year retirement from the sneaker maker in October to replace current boss John Donohoe, who has led the firm since 2020."Nike has always been a core part of who I am," the incoming president said in a statement.According to his LinkedIn profile, Hill started in the company as an apparel sales representative intern in 1988 and rotated through several roles during his 32 years there.The intern-turned-CEO journey is an unusual one, and while there are a handful of examples in the corporate world, it remains relatively rare.Another success story is that of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/12-famous-people-who-paid-their-dues-as-interns-2011-6#xerox-ceo-ursula-burns-started-out-as-an-intern-years-later-she-became-the-first-black-woman-to-head-a-fortune-500-company-6">Ursula Burns</a>, who worked as a mechanical engineering summer intern at Xerox in 1980.From positions in product development and planning to being an executive assistant and vice president, she was named CEO in July 2009, becoming the first Black woman to head a Fortune 500 firm.But this is not a common path.<h2 id="c31a1e4f-1e46-4289-9bca-1d15fe457013">It's a risky move</h2>"I don't think I've ever recommended to any of my students to stay in the same firm for their whole career," said Thomas Roulet, professor of organizational sociology and leadership at the University of Cambridge's Judge Business School."In general, you need to accept that if you stay in the same organization, the rate of opportunities and career advancement you are going to get will be lower than what you get if you go elsewhere," he said.This is because, for CEO positions in particular, firms tend to go for shiny external newcomers, Roulet explained."They are seen as drivers of change," he said, "they are seen as people who can revolutionize the business."Roulet said someone who is new to the firm can make the needed change seem like a viable, exciting option to employees.<h2 id="ab44346d-15c2-45f7-8e92-2483fe3d5e33">There are a lot of pros when it comes to job-hopping</h2>Instead of staying put, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zillennial-job-hopper-decided-to-quit-30s-2024-2">moving between different jobs</a> can increase your salary and future prospects, he said.When you try working for different organizations, you also build your network and get new ideas from competitors, Roulet added.He said that holding out within one organization to reach the C-suite is especially difficult for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.<h2 id="464a4be6-b2b9-43c0-a0c4-cd255978a94b">Working your way up is more difficult for disadvantaged groups</h2>"<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/average-ceo-top-uk-company-ftse-ai-generated-2023-9">Archetypes tend to be reproduced in leadership</a>," Roulet said, adding that Hill is not all that different from Nike's previous CEO.In terms of homegrown leadership, people with the same profile as those who previously had the job tend to be elevated, he said. This makes it more difficult for women, people of color, disabled groups, and many others to have the same trajectory."Then, you miss an opportunity — you don't have the same capacity to innovate because it's someone who potentially has the same views on the same issues," Roulet said.

Nike's new CEO is a company lifer — but an expert explains why that's not a great idea now

This could be the third-largest anchor book after One 97 Communications and Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). One 97 Communications and LIC had raised Rs 8,235 crore and Rs 5,627 crore in the anchor round, respectively. In a notification to the exchanges on Wednesday, VIL said it has allotted 490.9 crore shares to 74 funds at Rs 11 apiece, which is also the upper end of the price band. This translated into a transaction size to Rs 5,400 crore. Of the total allocation to <keyword id="21330641" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anchor-investors" source="keywords">anchor investors</keyword>, 79.52 crore stocks, or 16.2 per cent of the total, were allocated to five domestic mutual fund through a total of 11 schemes. Those who were allotted shares include GQG Partners Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Fidelity, UBS Fund Management, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Australian Super, Troo Capital, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Markets Mauritius, and Jupiter Fund Management. Additionally, domestic investors, including Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, SBI General Insurance and Quant Mutual Fund, were allocated shares in the anchor round. The Rs 18,000-crore FPO of Vodafone Idea will open for public subscription on April 18 and conclude on April 22, marking the biggest FPO in the country. The price band has been set at Rs 10-11 per share. Prior to this, the largest FPO in the Indian market was a Rs 15,000 crore share-sale by YES Bank in 2020. The fundraise would give the ailing telco the firepower to improve its positioning in the Indian telecom market, where it currently trails larger rivals such as Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, by a wide margin. The funds will also help VIL shore up finances for the much-delayed <keyword id="20366727" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="5G-rollout" source="keywords">5G rollout</keyword> and strengthening 4G services, and payment of vendor dues. On April 6, the VIL Board approved raising Rs 2,075 crore from promoter Aditya Birla Group and increasing its authorised share capital to Rs 1 lakh crore. Earlier this year, Vodafone Idea had outlined plans to raise Rs 45,000 crore through a mix of equity and debt as it looked to match services offered by rivals Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel and arrest an alarming and prolonged subscriber churn. VIL has also been fighting a desperate battle for survival, saddled with debt of Rs 2.1 lakh crore and quarterly losses. According to Trai data, Vodafone Idea continued to bleed on the subscriber front. VIL lost 15.2 lakh wireless subscribers, plunging its mobile subscriber base to 22.15 crore in January, in sharp contrast to subscriber gains by Jio and Airtel.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Donald Trump has previously said he could end the war in Ukraine in a day, but never detailed how.</li><li>Trump's advisors have reportedly set out plans, including setting up a demilitarized zone.</li></ul>Donald Trump is the new US president-elect — and his advisors are laying out plans on how to end the war in Ukraine, according to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/trump-presidency-ukraine-russia-war-plans-008655c0?st=3EZGUw&amp;">The Wall Street Journal</a>.One of the plans includes establishing an 800-mile demilitarized zone, the Journal reported, citing three people close to Trump.Under that plan, Ukraine would also pledge not to join NATO for at least 20 years in exchange for continued US weapons deliveries, they said.It's unclear who would police the DMZ, and one advisor told the Journal that American troops and US-funded international organizations like the UN would not be part of any peacekeeping mission.Vice President-elect JD Vance discussed a similar idea in an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrgmwtpAsWc">interview</a> with the "Shawn Ryan Show" in September.He said a peaceful settlement would "probably" look like a demilitarized zone on the current line of demarcation between Russia and Ukraine, which would be "heavily fortified" so that Russian forces don't invade again.Under that plan, Vance said that Ukraine wouldn't join NATO so that Russia would get its guarantee of neutrality, and that Germany, among others, would fund some of its reconstruction.Trump hasn't approved a specific plan, those close to him told the Journal, which would also have to involve getting Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate.According to the report, the proposals all depart from President Joe Biden's approach of letting Kyiv decide when peace talks should begin. They also all recommend freezing the war where it stands, geographically.Keith Kellogg and Fred Fleitz, two top officials who served on the National Security Council under Trump's first administration, presented another plan to Trump earlier this year that involved withholding weapons from Ukraine until the country agreed to engage in peace talks with Russia, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-reviews-plan-halt-us-military-aid-ukraine-unless-it-negotiates-peace-with-2024-06-25/">Reuters</a> reported in June.During negotiations, a cease-fire would be established based on the current combat lines, Fleitz told the news agency at the time.Trump <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6331305533112">has</a> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/27/trump-zelenskyy-meet-high-stakes-ukraine-talks-new-york">repeatedly</a> <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/11/politics/transcript-cnn-town-hall-trump/index.html">said</a> he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours by forcing Russia and Ukraine to negotiate a peace deal — but has never detailed how he would go about it.Trump told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6331305533112">Fox News</a> last year that he would end the war in one day by threatening Ukraine with a suspension of aid and threatening Russia that he would send more aid to Ukraine if Putin doesn't agree to make a deal.In a statement sent to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/komadovsky/status/1767591439230247076">Voice of America</a> in March, Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign's communications director, said Trump's top priority in his second term would be to "quickly negotiate" an end to the war in Ukraine.And in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?539606-1/president-trump-delivers-remarks-mar-lago">speech</a> at an election night event at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, Trump said he would stop the wars, but he did not detail how he would do it.Donald Trump's campaign didn't immediately respond to a BI request for comment.Kurt Volker, the US ambassador to NATO between 2008 and 2009 and a former special envoy to Ukraine under Trump, told the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://kyivindependent.com/trump-to-call-putin-seek-quick-deal-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-says-volker/">Kyiv Independent</a> he believes Trump will call Putin "as quickly as possible" and urge him to stop the war by projecting power.One way of doing this, Volker said, was ramping up oil and gas production and trying to flood global markets with as much cheap energy as possible, with the intent of negatively impacting Russia's economy.It will be "bad for Putin's budget, and so I think that's one thing that he is almost guaranteed to do," Volker said.Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has repeatedly increased its <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-defense-military-war-spending-drains-resources-other-sectors-2024-1">defense budget</a> to sustain its war in Ukraine, but the move has caused domestic <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-economy-crisis-ukraine-war-moscow-inflation-sanctions-putin-spending-2024-10">inflation</a> to soar, forcing Russia's central bank to hike <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-central-bank-raises-key-interest-rate-to-21-2024-10">interest rates</a>.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Starbucks wants to be a place where customers can hang out.</li><li>New CEO Brian Niccol wants "a clear distinction between 'to-go' and 'for-here' service" in stores.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/starbucks">Starbucks</a> is trying to regain its reputation as a nice place to hang out and enjoy a coffee. But its mobile ordering system is getting in the way.Like many major restaurant chains, Starbucks has spent years building its mobile app and a system for filling online orders to make getting a Frappuccino or PSL more convenient for patrons.In fact, it was an early adapter of mobile ordering technology, said R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research at location data provider <a target="_blank" href="http://Placer.ai">Placer.ai</a>, who follows the restaurant industry. Starbucks first let customers pay for orders through its app in 2011, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://archive.starbucks.com/record/going-mobile">according to the company.</a> Having an app that allows customers to place orders has become standard for restaurant chains since then, Hottovy added.But in the last few years, Starbucks has seen wait times for orders at its stores increase as it tries to serve both customers looking for café culture and others who just want a quick takeout coffee, Hottovy said in an interview. Wait times at some <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-reinvented-cafes-managment-plan-lines-waits-sales-2024-7">Starbucks locations have hit 25 minutes</a>, Business Insider previously reported.Some Starbucks store employees say that they're struggling to provide good customer service and keep wait times down because of all the mobile orders they have to fill. That might stand in the way of its new CEO's push to make Starbucks stores seem like spaces for customers to hang out — "third places," or somewhere they socialize other than work or home.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-starbucks-ceo-brian-niccol-could-change-c-suite-menu-2024-8">Brian Niccol</a>, who is in his first month heading up the coffee chain, has said that he wants to make the chain's stores "inviting places to linger, with comfortable seating, thoughtful design and a clear distinction between 'to-go' and 'for-here' service," according to an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-new-ceo-wants-customers-spend-more-time-coffee-chain-2024-9">open letter</a> published last month.But Starbucks is "trying to serve, essentially, two audiences at the same time," Hottovy said. "And when you do that, you tend to not do either well."<h2 id="95cf6372-fe4d-404e-bd03-416c0247743b">Workers say they're struggling with mobile orders</h2>Even former Starbucks <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-howard-schultz-fix-stores-app-customer-experience-baristas-sales-2024-5">CEO Howard Schultz</a> said in a May LinkedIn post that current Starbucks leadership should "reinvent the mobile ordering and payment platform.""The Starbucks Experience is grounded in coffee and connection," a Starbucks spokesperson told BI. "We believe a visit to Starbucks should be effortless and delightful, whether ordering through the Starbucks app or at our stores."To be sure, Starbucks has thousands of sites all over the US, and store layouts, customers and wait times vary from location to location. Still, some workers — whom the company calls "partners" — have pointed to issues with the mobile ordering system in interviews with BI. The employees asked not to be named in this article, citing fear of retaliation from Starbucks.One Starbucks partner in North Carolina told BI in August that his location struggles to fill mobile orders since the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-worker-long-wait-times-down-to-staffing-mobile-orders-2024-8">store is understaffed</a>. Many shifts he takes, the partner said, involve jumping between roles such as staffing the cash register and preparing drinks, which adds to customers' wait times.Starbucks' rewards program is a big driver of all those digital orders, a partner at a Starbucks store in South Dakota told BI.Rewards members who use the chain's app get push notifications on their phones for buy-one-get-one drink specials and other deals. While members can redeem those coupons by placing an order in person at a store, many at the South Dakota store simply tap the coupon on their phone, the partner says.When a rewards promotion hits the app, "it's pretty much like a light switch," the partner said. "We see business almost immediately picking up."One of the most challenging specials for their store came last month, when Starbucks offered four beverages for $20 to rewards members. Suddenly, filling an order meant making four drinks at once — including more complicated beverages like Frappuccinos."We can't sustain that much business on the labor that we're allotted," the partner said, referring to the store's staffing situation.That leads to long wait times and customers getting the wrong orders, the partner said. "They deserve to have that moment where things are corrected and they're leaving happy, but we can't deliver on it always," the partner told BI.This summer, Starbucks rolled out the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-new-system-to-make-slow-ordering-better-isnt-solution-2024-9">Siren Craft System</a>, an approach that the company said would reduce beverage preparation times and free partners to serve customers. But one partner at a store in the south-eastern US that has used the system previously told BI that he still feels short on time.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chipotle-ceo-niccol-will-bring-turnaround-record-to-starbucks-2024-8">Niccol has the credentials</a> to turn around Starbucks' digital ordering situation, analysts said after the company announced his appointment to CEO in August. As Chipotle's CEO, Niccol oversaw a transformation of the Mexican grill chain from a primarily in-person operation to one that offered digital ordering, including dedicated <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chipotles-chipotlane-drive-thru-review-2021-1">drive-thru windows</a> for picking up online orders.But for now, the increase in mobile orders has eroded Starbucks' position as a third place, a store manager in Florida said."People come in and work on their laptops, and they have their headphones in, and most likely, they have mobile-ordered," the manager said. "They grab their drink, and even if you try to communicate to them, they don't reply.""It's no longer the third place," the manager said. "It's a pit stop."Do you work at Starbucks or another major restaurant chain and have a story idea to share?

Zabel has authored children's books that are available for purchase on Amazon.The two women engaged in verbal and written discussions "spanning 16 years" about a "potential partnership to write a children's book," according to the complaint."In 2022, Plaintiff reached out directly to Defendant via email, text, and Instagram, sharing a specific book concept with Defendant, about a cat who flies to Mars, re-opening prior discussions (from 2007-2010), and trusting her with the intellectual property and concept," the complaint said.The complaint said the email also revitalized conversations about a partnership between the two, including promoting Zabel's children's book, "Dharma Kitty Goes to Mars," which would involve giving the proceeds to Bezos Earth Fund and Bezos Academy.The complaint said Zabel published "Dharma Kitty Goes to Mars" in 2022 and made it available for purchase on Amazon in 2023. Sánchez discussed plans to write a children's book about a fly going to space during a 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal."Defendant Lauren Sánchez, who had previously expressed oral and written interest in collaborating with Plaintiff, subsequently used Plaintiff's book concept without Plaintiff's consent or authorization. This theft of intellectual property occurred after years of discussions," the complaint said.Zabel said in the court filing that stopped working with Sànchez in 2010, and Sánchez's actions are in retaliation."Defendant's actions stemmed from her relationship with Plaintiff, who was her private yoga instructor and friend, which Defendant exploited to gain an advantage in her creative and professional business," the complaint said.Zabel — who court documents said issued two cease and desist letters before filing the complaint — is requesting a jury trial."As a self-funded female entrepreneur who has poured tireless efforts into building my business, it is profoundly disheartening to imagine someone in a position of privilege and influence—who publicly advocates for social issues, equality, and women's empowerment—disregarding the dedication, creativity, and value of an individual who generously shared their ideas, innovations and projects," Zabel said in a statement to Business Insider via email.Representatives for Sánchez declined to comment.
