Starbucks has a clear standardized process, however, quite a number of customers indicated in the survey that they have a concern about the standard of Starbucks’ service.

Payers: We propose marketing to move toward negotiations with payers where possible, but this is not a straightforward task. Chars data (2012) shows Medicare and Medicaid were payers for 79 percent of acute-care patient days in 2012 (not counting swing beds; but our data might be skewed if including nursing home residents).
