In a bid to drive sales, Starbucks Corporation (SBUX - Free Report) has partnered with UberEats to enable seamless Starbucks Experience. Per the partnership, Starbucks lovers in Miami will be able to order coffee and food from more than 100 stores via UberEats.

This apart, digital initiatives like mobile order/pay, delivery services and third-party loyalty partnerships should stimulate the company’s robust sales trends in the Americas segment. In fiscal 2017, this division (accounting for 70% of the total revenues) posted 3% comps growth, down from 6% in the year-ago period. Also, in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Americas segment reported 2% comps growth, down from 4% in the year-ago period.
Recently, Starbucks also announced a historic partnership with and Alibaba in order to provide seamless Starbucks Experience. Starbucks will begin delivery services in Beijing and Shanghai next month via Alibaba's Ele.me platform.

Evidently, beverage innovations have been a significant contributor to comps growth for Starbucks over the years.
