Determining Profit / Cost
Estimates based off Starbucks Net Revenue, 2003.

77% beverage sales
4.1 billion X 0.77 = 3.157 billion
Time: 15-20 second range from statistics, we use 18 second average

Sales increase 1% for each 6 seconds saved, therefore 18 / 6 = 3% increase in sales
3.157 billion x 0.03 = 94,710,000 million
94,710,000 assumes 100% customer use
Scaled Values based on current Starbucks Card Customer use
1.
Starbucks Card represented 10% of all transactions in 2003
2.
Starbucks Card, 35 million total activated to date
Profit potential (assuming 10% customer use): 94,710,000 x 0.10 = 9,471,000 million
Potential Cost: 35 million x 0.30 = 10.5 million
