How can I submit a new business and/or product idea to Starbucks?

Starbucks actively develops products and ideas of its own.  So, while we are interested in new ideas, technology and products, we have to preserve our own ability to innovate.  For that reason, we must limit our review of unsolicited proposals, materials or ideas and wish to be clear as to the conditions under which we will accept them for review.

Because of our own development efforts, we prefer not to receive proposals, materials or ideas unless they are for technology or products that are already patented, or that are in production and publicly available.  While we are happy to consider these, we cannot promise to keep any proposals, ideas or materials confidential.  We cannot promise to compensate you for reviewing or using them and we cannot promise that we will not, (or are not already), using your idea or a similar idea.  We want to be clear about our limited ability to protect the confidentiality of your proposals, ideas or materials.  In short, all proposals, ideas and materials shall be submitted to us with "no strings attached."

You may submit your proposal, material or idea to:

Submitted materials cannot be returned.  Please do not submit original copies of your materials.

Due to the heavy volume of proposals, materials and ideas that we receive, you will be contacted only if we have an interest in your submission.
