    Connecting Starbucks Rewards with Grab and Lazada

    It’s important for the company to make earning rewards as easy for customers as possible and connecting to Grab and Lazada is a powerful tool for Starbucks Philippines because of how easily it fits into its customers’ daily lives. 

    Starting June 23, a seamless integration with Starbucks Rewards will allow customers to earn 1 Star for every Php40 spent on Starbucks orders. Every 100 Stars collected converts to a free Starbucks beverage or food reward, redeemable in stores.

    Gifting Made Easy

    The company’s integration with GLife and GrabGifts is a key next step as Starbucks Philippines innovates in social digital gifting, providing a greater connection and convenience for all its customers. 

    eGifting is now available through GrabGift and GLife, allowing customers to digitally send Starbucks favorites to their loved ones. Starbucks eGifts can be purchased starting at Php 100 on GrabGifts and Php 300 on GLife. eGifts from GLife can be used to pay in Starbucks stores while eGifts from GrabGifts can be used to purchase orders from Starbucks on GrabFood.

    Starbucks FoodShare Program

    Last March, Starbucks FoodShare launched in the Philippines starting with 40 stores in Metro Manila. Through Starbucks’ ongoing partnership with Grab, participating stores can connect with Grab drivers to pick up and deliver food donations daily. The donations are donated to Philippine Food Bank Foundation, a local non-profit organization, to be distributed to select beneficiaries within Metro Manila daily. 

    To date, the program has served over 50,000 meals from more than 200 stores. The company’s goal is to continuously expand the program to more  stores outside Metro Manila and serve more communities.

    Global Community Impact Grants

    The Starbucks Foundation commits a $30 million investment in the Global Community Impact Grants by 2030. These grants aim to support programs that create meaningful impact, both locally and regionally.

    For Starbucks Philippines, a total of $70,000 in grants have been awarded to Gawad Kalinga, HOUSE Foundation, and Teach for the Philippines. These grants will be directed to hunger relief and youth development programs from 2nd half of 2022 to 1st half of 2023. 

    “We’re very grateful for the continued support our customers and media partners have given Starbucks Philippines. As we introduce more initiatives to enhance the Starbucks Experience, I look forward to collaboratively creating a better future for all,” said Noey Lopez, President & CEO of Starbucks

  • Indie Eats: Grab turns the spotlight on small businesses and brings them closer to Filipinos

    Small food businesses have certainly taken the local food scene by storm. You’ve seen them everywhere – from milk tea shops with their adventurous flavors to creative burger concepts you’ve never seen before. These businesses, however, must not be underestimated for their size as the quality of their offers will have you thinking hindi pa sila sikat, pero ang sarap. Beyond these, small businesses hold a special spark to them as they come from our own communities, and are a testament to how everyone has the potential to share their offerings to a large audience.

    Now, to help more consumers discover the unique and rewarding flavors these merchants can offer, everyday superapp Grab has launched Indie Eats, a program aiming to help merchant-partners amplify their presence on GrabFood and bring their offerings to the spotlight!

This ensures that merchant-partners are able to improve their brand every step of the way. All in all, the program also aims to inspire its merchant-partners to become the best brands they can be, and be on their way to exciting more consumers with their offerings.

    “At Grab, we are always ready to provide support to our merchant-partners to ensure they are able to meet success and have a rewarding experience on our platform; in particular, small food businesses hold a lot of potential not just in Grab but in our local food industry as a whole. Indie Eats is just one of the many ways we want to help them in being discovered by more Filipinos, and reach success with us,” says Martin Luchangco, Head of Merchants and Partnerships.
