Starbucks to Start a Delivery Service

星巴克也开始承接“外送”服务

Starbucks just made a major announcement: Delivery is coming.

不久前，星巴克宣布了一项重大决策：即将推出派送业务。

That's right, delivery.

没错，就是外卖。

And all you have to do is press a few buttons on your cell phone.

你只需要操作手机上的几个按钮即可。

According to a release, Starbucks will be debuting the feature on its app starting right now.

星巴克还表示，将立即把新的下单功能添加到应用上。

The delivery will be done in tandem with Postmates, the heavenly service that has been bringing everyone all Chipotle on hungover Sundays for months now.

这次外送业务的合作伙伴是众包快递服务公司Postmates，以贴心服务占据市场的Postmates 还和另一家连锁快餐品牌 Chipotle展开合作。

But now that everyone has heard all the good news, it's time for the catch:

既然大家现在都知晓了这些好消息，但不可忽略这一点：

Delivery is only available to residents of Seattle.

星巴克目前的配送范围只限于西雅图。

But on the bright side, this could be just a first step.

但从长远来看，这只是迈出的第一步。

If all goes well in the Pacific Northwest, there's a chance Starbucks could expand delivery elsewhere.

如果在美国西北部的试卖成功的话，星巴克可能会将外送业务拓展到其他城市。
