Starbucks Japan Will Start Discounting Menu Items Right Before Closing Time

Starting this week, Starbucks fans in Japan have some extra motivation to hit up their local spot later, as locations will soon start discounting menu items right before closing.

As reported by SoraNews24, Starbucks will reduce prices by 20 percent for baked goods, sandwiches, and desserts in its register-adjacent food cases starting three hours before closing time on days when they have an abundance of leftovers.

This new policy will took effect at all of Starbucks’ roughly 1,600 Japanese locations on August 23.

It’s a tremendous step in the right direction when it comes to addressing food waste, as 15 percent is accounted for by expired food.
