"I also think the blonde espresso is more enjoyable as it's not as bitter as the darker regular roasts."</p><h2>Starbucks' caramel macchiato is a classic and tasty treat</h2><div type="image" title="starbucks caramel macchiato" height="3750" width="5000" msid="112875053" hostid="261" sizebytes="641840"></div><p>Alexa Blay, a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-things-to-order-at-starbucks-according-to-a-former-barista">former Starbucks barista</a>, told BI that the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/413/hot?parent=%2Fdrinks%2Fhot-coffees%2Fmacchiatos">caramel macchiato</a> is one of the best drinks on the menu.</p><p>"I'd highly recommend the caramel macchiato," she said. "The bitter notes of the espresso pair perfectly with the sweet notes of the vanilla syrup and the caramel sauce."</p><p>She thinks the drink is best served hot so the caramel drizzles can melt into the drink — the caramel in the iced version often turns into cold, hard strings.</p><h2>The coffee Frappuccino is a great alternative to a regular iced coffee</h2><div type="image" title="starbucks coffee frappuccino" height="2786" width="3715" msid="112875055" hostid="261" sizebytes="265942"></div><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-terms-you-should-know-how-to-order-like-a-pro">Starbucks' Frappuccinos</a> are like upgraded versions of iced coffee. Blay told BI that the original coffee Frappuccino struck a good balance between sweetness and coffee flavor.</p><p>"The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coolest-starbucks-frappuccinos-world-2018-8">coffee Frappuccino</a> at Starbucks tastes similar to a standard coffee with cream and sugar but is perfect for summer because of the ice," she said.</p><p>You can control the sweetness of this drink by adding a flavored syrup to make it sweeter or a shot of espresso to make it more bitter.</p><h2>Order a caffè mocha for a chocolaty pick-me-up</h2><p>Starbucks' caffè mocha is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-make-starbucks-drink-at-home-2019-4">made with espresso</a>, bittersweet mocha sauce, and steamed milk. The concoction is topped with sweetened whipped cream.</p><p>"This drink is like a grown-up hot chocolate because of the addition of espresso," Blay told BI. "The espresso has just enough bitterness to tone down the sweetness of the chocolate syrup."</p><p>You can tone down the caffeine content in this drink by asking for only one shot of espresso or opt for an extra shot for a bigger buzz.</p><h2>The chain's chai latte is a spicy and sweet drink that can be made vegan</h2><div type="image" title="starbucks chai latte from yelp user soleil s" height="564" width="750" msid="112875056" hostid="261" sizebytes="37538"></div><p>Starbucks' chai latte is made by combining steamed milk and black tea infused with cinnamon, cloves, and other spices.</p><p>"This is my <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-items-at-starbucks-employees-favorites-2018-10">go-to drink order at Starbucks,"</a> Blay told BI. "It's flavorful, delicious, has just the right amount of spice, and it's not overly sweet. If you like a sweeter drink, vanilla syrup is a great addition."</p><p>The chai latte can be made vegan by swapping dairy milk for a plant-based option like almond or soy.</p><h2>Starbucks' salted-caramel cream nitro cold brew is a smooth and salty twist on regular iced coffee</h2><p>The salted-caramel cream nitro cold brew features Starbucks' regular nitro cold brew mixed with caramel syrup and topped with salted foam.</p><p>"This is a very smooth drink and not overly sweet," Garcia told BI. "The sweet-and-salty combination makes for an interesting addition to the cold brew."</p><h2>Most iced drinks are a worse value than the hot varieties</h2><div type="image" title="starbucks iced coffee" height="921" width="1228" msid="112875058" hostid="261" sizebytes="48524"></div><p>Blay said <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-coffee-chain-has-the-best-black-coffee-on-ice">ordering an iced drink</a> rather than a hot beverage usually means you get less drink for your money.</p><p>"With the exception of the venti size, the iced drinks aren't as good of a value as the hot drinks because the ice takes up so much space," she told BI.</p><p>At 24 ounces, the venti iced drinks are larger than the 20-ounce venti hot drinks, making them a better deal. But you can also ask your barista for "light ice" to increase the amount of actual beverage in your iced drink.</p><h2>Hot tea is a poor value for your money unless you're staying for a while</h2><p>Starbucks serves a selection of hot teas, but Blay told BI that it's usually not worth it to order a cup.</p><p>"It doesn't require any special skills or machinery, and it's something you can easily make at home," she said.</p><p>But if you buy a tea with a Starbucks card or the mobile app, it's <a href="https://customerservice.starbucks.com/app/answers/list/search/1/kw/Free%20refill%20policy/suggested/1">eligible for free refills</a>, which ups its value if you're planning on lingering in the shop.</p><h2>The hot chocolate is made with syrup and not worth the money</h2><div type="image" title="starbucks hot chocolate" height="1024" width="1365" msid="112875051" hostid="261" sizebytes="56272"></div><p>The hot chocolate at Starbucks isn't made with real melted chocolate or even cocoa powder.</p><p>"For what it is, the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-hot-chocolate-from-chain-2018-10">hot chocolate at Starbucks</a> is overpriced," Blay told BI. "It's just milk and chocolate syrup."</p><p>If you're looking for a chocolaty treat with more of a kick, try ordering a mocha: It's the same combination of milk and syrup plus a shot of espresso.</p><h2>Buying a bottled drink at Starbucks isn't worth the money</h2><p>It may be convenient and quick, but opting for a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/coffee-experts-review-starbucks-drinks-2018-9">bottled drink at Starbucks</a> is usually more expensive than ordering a beverage at the counter.</p><p>"The bottled drinks in the cold case are all a bad value relative to the drinks you can have made fresh for you," Blay said. "I always opt for a freshly made drink at Starbucks."</p><p><em>This story was originally published in June 2021 and most recently updated on August 28, 2024. </em></p>

Best hot beverage cups

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Dark roast K-cups are ideal for iced coffee: they boast a stronger flavor that can stand up to ice.</li><li>If your machine lacks an iced option, choose the "strong" setting for a bold, dilution-proof brew.</li></ul><p>While your local coffeehouse may brew a tasty iced coffee, making your own iced coffee with a <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/keurig-k-cafe-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keurig machine</a> is a convenient alternative that can save both time and money. <a href="https://www.perfectbrew.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Perfect Brew</a> partnership manager and barista Melissa Collins says appreciates that Keurig easily allow you to brew single servings. Plus, many Keurig machines also have an "iced" setting, and there are countless of the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/best-k-cup-coffee-keurig-pods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best K-cups</a> to choose from, no matter your personal tastes.</p><p>Making iced coffee in a Keurig machine does require some special considerations, though. Here are expert tips on how to brew flavorful iced coffee in a Keurig that rivals your local café's. (If you want to use the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/best-coffee-maker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best coffee maker</a> or a <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/best-cold-brew-coffee-maker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cold-brew maker</a>, Insider has even more tips and tricks on <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/how-to-make-iced-coffee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to make iced coffee</a>.)</p><h2><strong>Step 1: Select the K-cup</strong></h2><div type="image" title="Stock image of ground coffee." height="4000" width="5333" msid="102543447" hostid="261" sizebytes="1855728"></div><p>There's no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a K-cup for iced coffee, but <a href="https://quenchlist.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Quenchlist</a> founder and coffee expert Fanny Surjana advises opting for one labeled "dark roast." </p><p>Although light roasts usually <a href="https://www.insider.com/light-roast-coffee-versus-dark-roast-coffee-difference-2017-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have a higher caffeine content</a>, dark roast coffee beans have been roasted for a longer period of time, yielding a stronger flavor. That means dark roasts are less likely to taste watered down than lighter roasts when ice is added. </p><p>Surjana also recommends seeking out K-cups that contain at least 8 grams of coffee and blend Robusta and Arabica beans. "The Robusta beans give the coffee more caffeine and body, while the Arabica beans give it a smoother flavor," she explains.</p><p><strong>Quick tip: </strong>Most K-cups with specialty flavors are light roast coffees, which tend to be weaker. You're better off adding any preferred flavors — like vanilla, caramel, and pumpkin spice — after you brew the coffee. </p><h2>Best K-Cups for every type of brew </h2><div type="image" title="woken organic coffee pods, $30" height="1200" width="1600" msid="102543450" hostid="261" sizebytes="361382"></div><p>Find your new favorite brew in our round up of the best K-Cups. <br /><br /></p><ul><li><strong>Best dark roast K-Cup:</strong> illy Forte Extra Dark Roast K-Cup Pods - <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-54591-20&amp;h=1203b686faee7f160e0a39fb31177119068ee690d27225c6cad375a86cc9b991&amp;postID=628f975fa2374776c7e881f1&amp;site=in&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Faffiliate.insider.com%2F%3FamazonTrackingID%3Dbiauto-59914-20%26h%3D77aeb6d4490288dda2c499af5ddbabf7a6effe40a524ce78165b680ef4b93e5b%26postID%3D6494589e30464154123e431a%26site%3Din%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.amazon.com%252Fdp%252FB01N6EC9PS%26platform%3Dbrowser%26sc%3Dfalse%26disabled%3Dfalse%26tag%3Dinsider-safetynet-20%26amcid%3Damcid-26AblbzZiVBegppzls3Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See at Amazon</a></li><li><strong>Best espresso style K-Cup:</strong> Lavazza Espresso Italiano K-Cups - <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-54591-20&amp;h=687cd13b5b52a47d6fb46cb9f67005e5b660cc659787c5ec41ac139f3863bc6d&amp;postID=628f975fa2374776c7e881f1&amp;site=in&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Faffiliate.insider.com%2F%3FamazonTrackingID%3Dbiauto-59914-20%26h%3D09e0bb726afe9c5609c4fa4856b05162938aff7d262463b9115680e8647169fb%26postID%3D6494589e30464154123e431a%26site%3Din%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.amazon.com%252Fdp%252FB08HFWGKGW%26platform%3Dbrowser%26sc%3Dfalse%26disabled%3Dfalse%26tag%3Dinsider-safetynet-20%26amcid%3Damcid-xlUYigJxpI2gFVgU7gAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">See at Amazon</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Step 2: Prep the machine and cup</strong></h2><p>Once you've chosen a K-cup, insert it into the machine's compartment, and make sure there is plenty of water in the reservoir to brew. Before brewing, place the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/best-coffee-mug" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best coffee mug</a> or glass under the spout.</p><p><strong>Quick tip: </strong>Surjana suggests using <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/the-difference-between-purified-distilled-and-tap-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filtered water</a> in your Keurig, as impurities and minerals like chlorine, sulfur, and iron can negatively impact the taste of the coffee.</p><h2><strong>Step 3: Brew the coffee</strong></h2><p>Some Keurig machines, like the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/keurig-k-elite-iced-coffee-maker-review-2018-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">K-Elite</a>, feature an iced coffee setting. According to Surjana, this setting is designed to brew a smaller and more concentrated cup of coffee — that way it won't get too diluted when you add ice. Select the "strong" button if your machine doesn't have the iced setting.  </p><p>Surjana suggests choosing the 6- or 8-ounce setting so you have ample room to add ice, milk, or any flavorings. A larger pour will also have more water, resulting in a weaker taste once you add ice. </p><p>Collins says the longer you can wait to start sipping the better. Allowing your coffee to cool down for at least 20 to 30 minutes, ideally in the refrigerator, will prevent the ice from melting and diluting your drink. If you're in a hurry, adding cold milk or cream to your coffee will also help to cool it down faster.</p><p>When the coffee has cooled somewhat, pour it slowly over a tumbler, Thermos, or glass filled with ice.</p><p><strong>Quick tip: </strong>Coffee ice cubes can help to chill your drink without watering it down, says Surjana. To make them, brew a 10-ounce cup of your go-to K-Cup and pour it into the <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/kitchen/best-ice-cube-tray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best ice cube tray</a>. </p><h2><strong>Step 4: Add some flavor</strong></h2><p><strong></strong></p><div type="image" title="Two glasses of iced coffee with coffee ice cubes." height="1414" width="2121" msid="102543453" hostid="261" sizebytes="163084"></div><p>Once you've brewed and chilled your coffee, you can amp up the taste with sweeteners, syrups, extracts, and spices. <strong><br /></strong></p><ul><li><strong>Caramel or chocolate syrup: </strong>The rich taste of caramel sauce or chocolate syrup can instantly give iced coffee a dessert-worthy flavor boost — and all you need is 1 to 2 tablespoons of either to sweeten up your drink.</li><li><strong>Sweetened condensed milk: </strong>This is a key component of <a href="https://www.insider.com/different-ways-people-drink-coffee-around-the-world-2016-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vietnamese-style iced coffee</a>. Since water has been removed from the milk, it has a thicker consistency. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons while the coffee is still hot.</li><li><strong>Flavored syrups: </strong>From French vanilla to cinnamon, dolce to hazelnut, coconut, and lavender, there are countless flavored syrup options for taking your iced coffee up a notch.</li><li><strong>Salt: </strong>Salt can bring out the sweetness of the cocoa beans in your coffee while canceling out the bitterness for a smoother taste, says Collins. A pinch (about ⅛ teaspoon) should do the trick.</li><li><strong>Natural sweeteners: </strong>Liquid natural sweeteners blend well into beverages, as they're less likely than granulated sugars to create a gritty texture. Surjana suggests adding a teaspoon of honey or agave while the coffee is still hot. For a sugar-free option, consider a natural substitute like stevia. </li><li><strong>Spices:</strong> Add spices like cinnamon, allspice, and cardamom into your iced coffee for a more complex flavor profile, Surjana says. If you want to blend the spices throughout your beverage, whisk them into the milk you plan to add to the coffee, or combine them with the milk or cooled coffee in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.</li><li><strong>Peanut butter: </strong>Collins recommends stirring 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter into your coffee while it's hot for a rich and nutty twist.</li><li><strong>Eggnog: </strong>For a festive <a href="https://www.insider.com/starbucks-holiday-drinks-taste-test-2018-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holiday beverage</a>, try topping your iced coffee with a splash of creamy eggnog and a sprinkle of nutmeg.</li></ul><p><strong>Quick tip: </strong>Keep in mind that syrups and sauces may start to harden if you add them to an iced beverage. That's why you're better off stirring them in while the coffee is still hot.</p><h2><strong>Insider's takeaway </strong></h2><p>Making a single-serve iced coffee in a Keurig is super easy. Some machines even have a special "iced" setting designed to brew a stronger cup that won't get too diluted once you add ice — but if yours doesn't, selecting the "strong" option is just as effective.<strong> </strong></p><p>For the most flavorful results, opt for dark roast K-cups with at least 8 grams of coffee, and select a smaller-sized brew.</p>

Starbucks recently released a bottled version of its viral Pink Drink. I tried both beverages to see how they compare.

Aadit <keyword id="12442400" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="palicha" source="Orion">Palicha</keyword> and Kaivalya Vohra were crazy enough to believe in 2020 they could transform the online grocery delivery market in 2020 and they actually did it with Zepto, a quick commerce player that has created a new paradigm in online commerce. Valued at $900 mn, newbie Zepto is now challenging the Big Tech players on delivery time and formats. <br /><br />Despite building a soonicorn in less than a year, Palicha is almost always expecting to be dissed for being that “idiot kid.” He starts the interview by saying: “I have come to a point where I like it when people say something is bonkers, then I take particular interest in it. I was laughed at during interviews when I wanted to hire senior people. I used to care because I was young, but I got hammered so many times that I stopped caring.”<br />                  <div type="image" title="Aadit Palicha CEO and Co founder, Zepto" msid="94400605" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Aadit Palicha CEO and Co founder, Zepto&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The story of Vohra and Palicha is as crazy it sounds – a couple of kids who started out to solve the problem of grocery delivery at the peak of the pandemic and ended up convincing angel investors and venture capital firms to bet $360 mn on their “crazy” idea. Welcome to the fantasy world of startups, where ideas rule the roost and age is just a number.<br /><br />In less than a year, Zepto is making Amazon and Flipkart look like legacy companies with delivery times of a day or more. Online commerce was born in the desktop era and while it has evolved in the last few years, it continues to deliver at the same pace as it did years ago, giving an opportunity to new commerce players like Zepto to solve problems with better formats and faster fulfillment. <br /><br />On-demand commerce is the latest to disrupt the online cart in India, dominated largely by the big players. A report by global investment bank Bernstein says that even though India is Amazon’s biggest and fastest growing overseas market: “It also faces immense competitive pressure in fast growing categories, a weaker value proposition in 'New' commerce, limited traction in tier 2/3 cities, and an unfavorable regulatory environment for outsiders.”<br /><br />The pandemic has helped germinate disruptive ideas and newbies are taking the game several notches higher by doing what nobody ever imagined – taking e-commerce beyond the big cities and delivery of fresh and groceries within minutes. <br /><br />Zepto is not content being a soonicorn, with an eye on profitability the Q-commerce player is already experimenting with private labels in food, high-margin categories like personal care and 24/7 deliveries of hot snacks and hot beverages. Confident of where the company is going, Palicha, who is the CEO, says the company is on track to clock one million orders a day with annualised sales of $1 bn by October 2023. <br /><br />Refusing to call it the next Amazon, Suvir Sujan, Co-founder and Managing Director of Nexus Venture Partners, says, “On demand commerce is a new paradigm in online delivery. I would love to say it is the next Amazon, but let’s first add more categories and get customers to come back for more. But what is more than groceries, time will tell.”<br /><br />                  <div type="image" title="Suvir Sujan, Co-founder and Managing Director of Nexus Venture Partners" msid="94400640" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Suvir Sujan, Co-founder and Managing Director of Nexus Venture Partners&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><strong>The Early Days of Zepto</strong><br /><br />At the headquarters of Zepto in suburban Mumbai, Palicha warmly greets his guests with a smile and Diet Coke from his mini refrigerator. There’s no nervous stammering, as one would expect from a high school graduate. Clearly two years is long enough time for a teenager to “grow up” and Palicha has come a long way from the days when he wore a green tee with Kirana Kart splayed all over it to deliver groceries to families in Mumbai’s suburban neighbourhood called Sher-e-Punjab. <br /><br />The journey of these two college dropouts began at the start of the pandemic when they decided to take a year out of Stanford and give their entrepreneurial dream a chance. <br />                  <div type="image" title="Kaivalya Vohra, Co founder and CIO, Zepto" msid="94400684" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Kaivalya Vohra, Co founder and CIO, Zepto&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The first battle was to come back to India from Dubai, where they both did their schooling at Gems World Academy. Jumping on to the Vande Bharat programme rolled out by the government to bring Indians back home during the pandemic, Vohra and Palicha boarded their flight back to Mumbai with a suitcase full of start-up ideas. Upon landing they decided to shack-up at Vohra’s family-run bed and breakfast in Andheri East as nobody wanted to rent an apartment to two teenage boys. <br /><br />In the early days, they picked up groceries from kirana stores and delivered them to their customers’ doorstep, which helped them understand route planning, time taken to deliver and order fulfillment issues. The biggest lesson, however, was that they could not make money by running errands. It was at this time that they realised that they had to own the entire fulfillment process, if they wanted to build a profitable business. Picking up groceries from kirana stores and delivering them would not yield them the requisite margins. Those were the early days and they started clocking 2000 orders a day through WhatsApp groups and the early rendition of their app called KiranaKart.<br /><br />                  <div type="image" title="Burn rate has come down 5X on a per-order basis" msid="94400735" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Burn rate has come down 5X on a per-order basis&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><strong>The Birth of Zepto</strong><br /><br />The model of quick commerce soon started taking shape in their heads, as their retention metrics showed that deliveries within a 1.8 km radius reached within minutes and that helped them retain customers. The other pain point that customers had was incorrect items in the cart. Vohra and Palicha started applying their minds on solving these problems to improve retention. <br /><br />Explains Palicha, “We had a model where we were experimenting with hyper local delivery and that got us 2000 orders a week. Kaivalya and I were delivering ourselves in the beginning. There was confusion over orders and erratic delivery timelines was an issue. Our first learning was if we had a lot of SKUs then it would help.” The second issue the duo encountered was around quality. “We looked at cohorts and found delivery time of over an hour was an issue,” adds Palicha.<br /><br />By this time, they were encouraged by friends to apply to YCombinator and once they got through the programme, they had the confidence they needed to take the plunge. Two years ago YCom gave the two boys $125,000 and some other angel investors put in the rest. They hit the sweet spot when they cut delivery time to below 20 minutes. “Customers started interacting frequently when we delivered in less time,” explains Palicha. That’s when they decided to scale. <br /><br /><strong>Nexus Partners Boards The Bus<br /></strong><br />Having worked on the early iterations of the app and having learned from their mistakes, Palicha and Vohra set out to attract the bigger investors for their startup. Armed with their learnings and coaching from YCombinator, the duo were ready to face a proper venture capital firm with their own unique quick commerce proposition.<br /><br />Recalling their early days, Kaivalya Vohra, who is the CTO of Zepto, says: “We decided to drop out of Stanford and work on a startup that would solve a consumer problem. We decided to build an app in 2020 called KiranaKart to deliver groceries from local stores to consumers. That’s where we got our early learning from.”<br /><br />Globally, quick commerce is an established business but the focus is largely consumer categories like ice, cigarettes and alcohol that typically people tend to order from Q-Commerce players. The need for fresh produce is met by organized retail players in developed markets with a store being present in every block almost. In India, however, both these markets are fragmented and quality is an issue. <br /><br />So when Suvir Sujan of Nexus Venture Partners told Palicha that their model of kirana store deliveries would not work, Palicha agreed. Recalls Sujan, “He recognised what was not working and was assessing it to change the model. When I talked about building different layers of the business, he was able to articulate it very well. They had the technology chops and also had the maturity to know that they would need a senior team to build the business.”<br /><br />Within days of receiving funding from Nexus, Palicha started interviewing senior professionals to build the team. Few wanted to work for a company that did not even have a name and was led by a 19-year old. Eventually, the team that Palicha has built is like him, people who are driven by the passion to solve problems and disrupt existing models. <br /><br />Says Amritanshu Nanda, the chief marketing officer of Zepto, “What excited me was the vision and passion of the two founders and the massive disruption we were aiming to create in the fresh and grocery segment by reducing delivery to under 30 minutes from one day. My first conversation with them ended at 11 pm at night and soon after i walked out and called family and discussed with them.” It helped that Nanda has always worked for start-ups and quirky founders since 2008.<br /><br />                  <div type="image" title="Amritanshu Nanda, the chief marketing officer of Zepto" msid="94400818" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Amritanshu Nanda, the chief marketing officer of Zepto&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><strong>The Business Of Quick Commerce</strong> <br />Quick commerce is more about using technology to solve problems rather than just cutting time to deliver the goods. A visit to Zepto’s dark store in Andheri East helps understand the business model better. Palicha says that the early days taught them how to delight customers. He explains: “We embodied this product and we felt it would be great. When we saw customers getting delighted, we felt it would be big. We became the product in a sense.” <br /><br />Zepto’s dark store in Andheri East resembles the trading floors of stock exchanges of yester years, where the outcry system was prevalent for buying and selling shares. At the entrance, packers awaiting their orders to be assigned to them stand, while at the other end are delivery partners who are waiting to pick up the deliveries assigned to them. Each time an order is assigned, a bell tolls and during peak demand it tolls endlessly. A big screen shows order numbers and time taken by each packer to finish packing the orders. As soon as an order is placed, packers are assigned on their handheld devices, which they pack in 76 seconds. <br /><br />Placing of products is an important factor, and since bread, eggs and poultry products are high demand categories they are placed right at the entrance. The handheld device reads the inventory each time a product flies off the shelf, so that the warehouse knows what needs to be replenished. <br /><br />Clearly, there’s a science behind delivering in 20 minutes and it only begins with route planning. In order to stock products that customers typically order, it is important to stock just enough products for which it is necessary to be able to predict demand. Sujan explains, “A lot of data analysis is required to predict demand in a hyperlocal environment. This data has to be fed back to the inventory management systems to ensure a high inventory turn. The whole value chain is important and for that demand prediction is important.”<br /><br />The dark stores are compact as the inventory velocity is high. Palicha and his team refuse to spell out the exact number of dark stores they have across India at the moment. <br /><br />Once Nexus was on board, putting the plan in place was easier and both Palicha and Vohra got down to hiring key talent, which entailed getting the best minds on board. Since delivering groceries was not profitable, they had to put in place the best supply chain experts to begin with. <br /><br />But hiring wasn’t easy as few senior professionals wanted to work for an 18 year old kid. Recalls Palicha, “When we told people what we wanted to build, people told us we had lost it. You can never deliver between 10- 20 minutes. If it was possible then why had nobody done it.” The first couple of months in early to mid 2021 was spent hiring the right talent.<br /><br />Zepto sources its entire fresh category from farmers and consumer products from companies. It is experimenting with high value food items like dry fruits and private labels. <br /><br />                  <div type="image" title="800% QoQ revenue growth" msid="94400980" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;800% QoQ revenue growth&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br /><strong>The Road Ahead</strong><br />Having cracked the delivery of groceries and fresh produce in the on-demand commerce space, Zepto will look at applying the model to multiple other categories that have traditionally been dominated by the likes of Amazon, which include pharmacy, fashion accessories, cafe, electronics and personal care. The company is looking to take market share from Amazon in multiple categories it dominates. All these categories can be delivered in much less time with assurance of quality with easy returns. Can the newbie build the same experience in multiple categories? Answers Palicha: “KV and I have the ambition to create the next generation of e-commerce in urban India.” Clearly, this story is far from over.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO</strong><br /><strong><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/ecommerce/news/online-e-commerce-player-meesho-is-the-new-crorepati-factory/articleshow/94399429.cms">Online e-commerce player Meesho is the new crorepati factory</a><br /></strong><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/moonlighting-right-or-wrong/articleshow/94400817.cms"><strong>Moonlighting – Right or Wrong?</strong></a>

The Zepto Boys: Competition that Amazon never saw coming

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Workers at a cobranded Starbucks and Amazon cafe are voting on a union this week.</li><li>About 30 Starbucks employees at the New York store will participate in the vote, Bloomberg reported.</li></ul><p>The new <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-and-amazon-opening-a-store-together-photos-2021-11">Starbucks Amazon Go</a> stores that opened last year in New York City were supposed to be a dream collaboration, serving frappuccinos and grab-and-go food in stores that utilize Amazon's Just Walk Out technology and Starbucks' mobile ordering. </p><p>But for some workers, the high-tech, high-profile store has created more work, not less.</p><p>Some workers say the cobranded location has "doubled their workload with no additional pay," according to a story <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-14/workers-at-experimental-starbucks-amazon-nyc-store-push-to-unionize">first reported by Bloomberg.</a> One of the Starbucks Amazon Go stores is considering unionizing this week. Roughly 30 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SBUX:US" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Starbucks</a> employees at the Times Square location will decide on December 15 whether to join Starbucks Workers United.</p><p>Despite the automation of ordering and paying, the workers say that they now have to inform customers how the store works when they enter, Bloomberg reported. They also risk getting burns while preparing Amazon's hot-food items, according to the report.</p><p>The union drive is the latest example of the contrast between how Starbucks and Amazon view themselves as employers and how their workers feel. Under CEO Howard Schultz, Starbucks has tried to be a "model employer," according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/business/howard-schultz-starbucks-union.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a story on Schultz and unions at the coffee chain in The New York Times</a> this month.

From the beginning, we've been clear in our belief that we are better together as partners, without a union between us, and that conviction has not changed.

About 330 Starbucks have held votes to unionize, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/12/09/1140424418/starbucks-union-organizing-gave-labor-a-jolt-of-energy-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to NPR.</a> Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-employees-are-striking-for-red-cup-day-2022-11">some workers at about 100 stores went on strike during Red Cup Day</a>, when Starbucks gives customers free reusable cups for eligible holiday drink orders. The workers were protesting "short staffing and the company's failure to bargain with union stores," Starbucks Workers United said in a press release.</p><p>Amazon's JFK8 warehouse on Staten Island, meanwhile, is the only warehouse that has unionized. Workers there held a vote earlier this year after similar warehouses in Bessemer, Alabama, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-faces-warehouse-union-vote-after-historic-staten-island-victory-2022-4">another on Long Island</a> voted against a union.</p><p>Starbucks workers <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/errolschweizer/2021/10/26/why-are-starbucks-workers-unionizing/?sh=5fb058746151">have pointed to issues</a> including low pay and rigid work schedules in their union campaigns. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-unions-warehouse-speed-work-labor-2022-10">Amazon warehouse workers</a> have said the controversial practice of tracking "idle time" has led workers to skip bathroom breaks and that repeated movements tied to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warehouse-injuries-amazon-chronic-pain-speed-risk-productivity-targets-employees-2022-10">warehouse work lead to injury.</a></p><div type="image" title="Starbucks Pickup Amazon Go store" height="1377" width="1837" msid="96234917" hostid="261"></div><h2>Both Amazon and Starbucks have cultivated reputations as progressive employers and pushed back against unions</h2><p>Both companies have painted themselves as forward-thinking on worker treatment and benefits.</p><p>In October, Amazon <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?postID=639a0c14c4cc6f497d75e1a6&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fpress.aboutamazon.com%2F2022%2F9%2Famazon-expands-pay-and-benefits-for-front-line-employees-with-new-investment-of-nearly-1-billion">raised average starting pay</a> for its front-line workers to $19 from $18 and announced a program to train workers to take jobs within Amazon Web Services.</p><p>As early as 1988, Starbucks <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2016/starbucks-history-of-partner-benefits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">extended healthcare coverage</a> to part-time employees and ensured that it included domestic partnerships. Other industry-leading benefits have come in its wake, such as college-tuition coverage, 401k plans, and parental leave.

He has publicly stated</a> he would not embrace union efforts at a company where he is known as the architect of creating progressive employee benefits.</p><p>"What's happening in America is much bigger than Starbucks," Schultz told The New York Times in June. "Starbucks, unfortunately, happens to be the proxy of what is happening. We're right in the middle of it. If a company is as progressive as Starbucks, that's done so much and at the 100th percentile, can be threatened by a third party, then anyone can."</p>
