Starbucks has entered into a partnership with food delivery giant Meituan in China following the expiry of its exclusive three-year deal with Alibaba’s Ele.me at the end of 2021. Under the deal, Meituan users will be able to order Starbucks coffee and snacks through the app, a service previously only available through rival Ele.me. The two companies will also launch a new service which will allow Meituan users to make bookings for private coffee tastings and classes at Starbucks stores.
