  • Dunkin' (formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts) is spending $100 million to become a major player in coffee. CEO Dave Hoffmann says espresso is going to be key to fueling the company's long-term growth. The shift in strategy comes at a time when traffic in stores has slowed and annual comparable store sales have taken a dip since 2017. While slow traffic and lagging same-store sales aren't unique to Dunkin', they are dialing up pressure on the chain. The question now - will Dunkin' be able to stand out in a crowded field as it bets big on becoming a major player in the coffee wars.

      I don’t have that here. And it’s a fairly new store so that’s why I’m under the impression most just look like fast food places.
      I will add, the the age range matters. I wouldn’t be doing my work at a cafe spot if the place gets too noisy. It doesn’t help the productivity if that makes sense.

    Dunkin needs to revamp its store staff. Also, the donuts haven’t been made in store for quite sometime. Therefore, you no longer get that fresh baked aroma when you walk in. To arrive at a store and see trays of donuts being unloaded from a two axle truck just doesn’t get it!

      are they historically part of the absurd popularity of donuts in the USA?

      @jessislistless 4 года назад +2

      @@JeroenJA where in Europe are you from? I'm from Germany and we have a few in the big cities (Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg etc.). The dunkin' fad isn't primarily because of America's affinity for Donuts but the fact that day-to-day ppl want an honest simple cup of coffee and a snack on their way to work or during their break. I believe CNBC has a video just on dunkin' and why they're so popular. Donuts, when done properly can be a nice and soft snack for in-between or a tasty treat to share with colleagues and friends. If you have the time and ingredients, I recommend you try making them at home at a sweetness level you may prefer.

      Starbucks is trendy and it actually doesn't taste bad, otherwise, it wouldn't be so popular. It's a kind of coffee that is easy to enjoy when you're not used to real coffee. On top the that, coffee is addictive, so that is why they are huge, not necessarily because of the brand by itself.

    As far as coffee goes the experience at dunkin is like going to mcdonalds for a burger. Biggest problem is inconsistency. From the employees to the coffee. Sometimes fast service sometimes slow, sometimes friendly employees sometimes incredibly rude, sometimes coffee made right sometimes made terribly. No matter what starbucks I go to its always the same and its always good.

    Dunkins biggest problem is almost all their locations are franchised. The experience is never the same at all the different locations. My coffee might be great at location A, but at B, and C it’s way off. Starbucks the customer service is better and the coffee is the same across the board.

  • @peaches5914
    @peaches5914 2 года назад +11

    Dunkin's coffee and food options are good, but they need to have a more comfortable environment. Most Dunkin locations got rid of all seating options since 2020, and failed to ever bring them back. If they focused on creating a cafe-like environment for people to sit comfortably, socialize, or get work done, they'd probably be more successful. It's really annoying trying to grab coffee from Dunkin when you want to sit for a moment or have somewhere to lean to just stir your drink, but all it's just vast, open space where tables once used to be.

    By me, Starbucks (mistake#1)bought a corner lot next door to Dunkin donuts in the same strip center. (mistake#2) they blocked off access to the Dunkin Donuts parking lot, which backfired big time. Drivers can only get into Starbucks by driving north or east. Dunkin Donuts entry is further down and can access all four ways. Dunkin was smart and seen what was coming while Starbucks was building their store, Dunkin streamlined their drive-thru. Long story short anyone trying to get to Starbucks from the parking lot end up in Dunkins drive-thru

Starbucks is both awful-tasting (to me, at least) AND expensive. I wish DD would have pushed their food options more and just let Starbucks be the coffee 'winner'. More than enough coffee places out there, but not a whole lot of inexpensive food options; DD could have really been the market 'winner' on that.

Love getting a donut with a hole and puttting it on the straw or a cold drink, although I have a soft spot for the Boston cream. Can we talk about the original dunkin and how cool it is?

Well, the answer is the overall experience and the way I feel about the time I spend there. May be its just me but I never left starbucks feeling bad or disappointed about the service. The crowd that starbucks attracts is also great, that makes the whole experience of taking a trip to SBUX a pleasant one. It's difficult for other coffee shops to create a similar atmosphere.

They also both offer different food options. There’s still room for both.

    @chrishansensbabymama 3 года назад +1

    Coming from an ex Starbucks barista, I can tell you that there isn't that much training that goes into making the drinks that you'd think there was. A lot of co workers used to wing it, and it would be an overpowering flavor with a minimum amount of something else to make up for that. I would constantly ask how to make the drinks properly and the bosses would sit back and yell at us more than train us. We were trained (and this still happens to this day) to NEVER close the window! Always be friendly to the customer and they are "always" right! Ever wonder why the baristas are so nice? I was trained to be nice even if there was conflict. That turned toxic and I couldn't take everything that happened, having to do with customers who purposely knew this to start something and with the anti-maskers and COVID-19, not being respectful with social distancing and constantly touching my hands without wearing a mask. All of that happened when COVID-19 first hit, and since then customers don't have to wear a mask in the drive thru. That's how it worked sadly, and sometimes you'd get more milk and less flavor in your drinks but somehow they all still collided to taste relatively the same every time. Also, when you order a tea you get 1/2 water unless you specifically ask for no water! You are getting CHEAPED out, and no one thinks to ask questions because well... Starbucks is notoriously expensive so you think you're getting quality. Starbucks is also expensive because of the beans, where they claim they're "ethically sourced". In reality, they're never ethically sourced from all of the under paid foreigners who harvest the beans and such. Quite a bit of it's unethical processes are hidden underground, and although they have more flavors of things and more customizable than Dunkin, I can guarantee Dunkin is definitely more ethical and cheaper. I never went to Dunkin and only Starbucks for coffee even before I used to work there. Dunkin has so many menu options and it was so surprising to discover that! If you're reading this all the way until the end, thanks for taking the time to read my comment! If you wanna know how to make any DIY drinks at home that are on the Starbucks menu, or wanna know what ingredients and specific flavors go into their drinks HMU! I got you 🙏😎😎💅🤣

At Starbucks theres more options for everyone: coffee lovers, tea lovers, sweet Frappuccino lovers, little kids, older kids, etc. Dunkin basically has coffee, really bad tasting tea. chocolate and two new refreshers they released. However, Starbucks has so many Frappuccino flavors, they are customizable, the coffee may not be as good but there are different drinks you can get. For littler kids they have lemonade, apple juice, Frappuccinos without coffee, and theres also smoothies, refreshers, frozen lemonades, a bakery section with yummy breakfast items, CAKE POPS, other sweet treats, lunch sandwiches, packages, a fridge section with snacks, and a "cafe-like" environment. It is really chill and fun to study there or just relax. This is why Starbucks will always be more successful and popular unless Dunkin changes their marketing strategies, their menu offerings, and the setup of their restaurants.

    I have a Dunkin card and love the ice coffee when mixed right. I almost always use the drive thru. However, I have experienced the store computer "off line" several times and a general inconsistency in the coffee taste at different locations. Without a computer to connect to, I cannot use my mobile app to order. The inconsistent taste has driven me to a competitor (Mc) which has the same taste with every cup. I'd say these are two areas needing improvement.

  • @gabby-bs7yi

    very interesting and informative video!
    as I am from Europe I've never tried Dunkin' but I have tried Starbucks many times and ... even though it is pricey and the coffee is average at best, I can see myself going again. simply because there is always something new to try, the interior is nice as well as the atmosphere. and nothing can beat an Instagram story of a Starbucks cup with my name on it 😅 there is simply something about Starbucks' brand recognition that makes them stand out and impossible to compete with. I think Dunkin' is taking the wrong route following their footsteps instead of creating something original. you will never beat the og. I'm interested to see how this works out for them

    It’s like a hit or miss with their coffee. All depends on when the coffee was made and if it was left too long on the hot plate (sometimes has that burnt taste). But still would get Dunkin over Starblocks.

    Dunkins will never compete with Starbucks mainly because of the differences in employees and customer service. Starbucks is expensive, but people don't mind cashing out when the service matches the quality of the product served.
