How Starbucks compares to other chains
Dunkin' leads big-chain drive-thru coverage with 66% of its indexed locations, ahead of Tim Hortons (53%) and Starbucks (50%). Dutch Bros and Scooter's are drive-thru-first concepts, but many of their stands are not yet feature-tagged in OpenStreetMap, so their share reads low in this index. See the chain-by-chain drive-thru comparison for details.
