Starbucks' market performance in China is in the top 1% within the Cafe & Restaurants industry, indicating a leading position. This means Starbucks captures a significantly higher share of customer traffic compared to its competitors.

CSAT reflects customer loyalty. Tracking changes helps understand if customer experience improvements are effective.
Starbucks' overall customer satisfaction in China is 67%, a decrease of 3 percentage points year-over-year. Satisfaction varies by region: Guangdong Province shows high satisfaction (82%), while Macau has decreased to 71%. Shanghai is at 70% and has a slight growth. This suggests focusing on improving customer experience in regions with lower CSAT scores.

Starbucks has a significant number of outlets in China. Shanghai leads with 374 outlets, followed by Guangdong Province with 342. Other key regions include Jiangsu (217), Beijing (199), and Zhejiang (195). This distribution indicates a strong presence in economically developed areas.

The top competitors for Starbucks in China, based on customer cross-visitation, are McDonald's (12.37%), 大家樂 (4.12%), 大快活 (3.61%), Maxim's MX (2.58%), and Twelve Flavors (2.06%). This indicates that a notable portion of Starbucks' customers also frequent these fast-food and casual dining establishments.
Traffic workload identifies peak hours, which helps optimize staffing and resource allocation for better customer service.
Starbucks in China experiences peak traffic workload between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM, with the highest activity around 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM. There is significantly lower activity during the night hours, from 0:00 AM to 6:00 AM. These peak times require optimal staffing to handle the high customer volume.
Consumer segments reveal key demographics. Understanding these groups allows for targeted marketing and product development efforts.
