Starbucks in Czechia Ends Handwritten Names on Cups

Starbucks is making a significant change to how it serves customers in the Czech Republic.

In the coming weeks, all Starbucks coffee shops across the Czech Republic and Slovakia will stop writing customer names on cups. Instead, the company will introduce printed stickers as part of its modernized order management system.

This shift is part of a broader global effort to enhance efficiency and improve the customer experience.

Similar systems have already been implemented in other countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Romania. The Czech Republic is now joining this growing list of Starbucks locations adopting the new approach.

Under the updated system, Starbucks baristas will still ask for your name when taking your order. However, instead of writing it on your cup with a marker, they’ll print a customized sticker.

These stickers won’t just display your name—they’ll also include the date and time of the order, as well as a QR code.

The QR code provides detailed information about your drink’s nutritional content and potential allergens, making it a helpful addition for health-conscious customers or those with dietary restrictions.
