星巴克宣布关闭门店并裁员以推动转型

摘要

作为战略转型计划的一部分,星巴克将关闭数百家门店并裁减900名非零售员工。

星巴克宣布将在美国、加拿大和欧洲关闭数百家门店,并裁减900名非零售员工,作为振兴业务的战略举措。总部位于西雅图的这家咖啡连锁企业表示,门店关闭将立即开始,受影响的咖啡师将获得遣散费,并在可能的情况下调往其他门店。

公司未具体说明将关闭的门店数量,但预计到本财年周日结束时,北美门店数量将从6月29日的18,734家减少至18,300家。在致员工的信中,星巴克董事长兼首席执行官布赖恩·尼科尔(Brian Niccol)解释称,审查发现部分门店缺乏实现财务稳定或满足顾客期望的路径,因此决定关闭这些门店。

“每年,我们都会因各种原因开设和关闭咖啡馆,从财务表现到租约到期,”尼科尔写道。“这次是更为重大的一次行动,我们理解这将影响合作伙伴和顾客。我们的咖啡馆是社区的中心,关闭任何一家门店都很困难。”

公司预计此次重组将花费10亿美元,其中包括1.5亿美元的员工离职福利,以及8.5亿美元用于实体门店关闭和租约退出。目前尚不清楚关闭门店中有多少为工会组织的门店。自2021年以来,美国650家星巴克直营门店的员工已投票成立工会,但合同协议尚未达成。

组织工人的劳工团体“星巴克工人联合会”批评此次关闭决定,称未征求咖啡师的意见。该工会计划在每家拟关闭的工会代表门店进行谈判,确保员工能被安置到理想的门店。

“修复星巴克的问题,必须以每天与公司顾客互动的员工为中心,”工会表示。

这是星巴克今年第二轮裁员。今年2月,公司宣布全球裁减1100名企业员工,并取消数百个空缺职位。作为一名转型专家,尼科尔一年前被引入星巴克以振兴品牌,此前他在Chipotle表现出色。

7月,星巴克报告了连续第六个季度同店销售下滑,美国市场客流疲软持续影响公司。尼科尔计划通过增加员工、提升门店环境和引入优先订单软件,确保顾客在四分钟内拿到饮品,以扭转这一趋势。

星巴克股价在公告后下跌1%。
