Sara Trilling: Yes, absolutely. So thank you for the question. So we’re continuing to roll out equipment innovations to help make the work easier for our partners, and of course drive efficiency and ultimately enable partners to better serve our customers and do it with grace. I mean no more are we in a position to roll out single pieces of equipment over a multi-year time horizon. No way, no thanks. It just can’t happen given the unbelievable demand that we’re seeing in our business. And so, so far, we’ve deployed handheld order points in 54% of our stores, cold beverage labelers in 81% espresso stations 94% and the new warming ovens in 90% of our stores. So all the sides kind of those handheld order points, which are very, very useful in drive throughs are going to be rolled out fully this year.
And we’re seeing the benefits of that across the board. Our drive-through window times, as example, are up, as is our Mobile Order & Pay uptime, just two examples of that. I think in Q1, we completed our automated ordering for food and lobby, which removed task time and freed up energy to again focus on customers. And we’ve got more in the hopper. We’re really just getting started as we look to reinvention to continue to drive throughput in our stores. And in close, I’d just say, we’ve seen all-time highs in productivity.
Rachel Ruggeri: The one thing I would add, just to finalize your question is that the Siren system is expected to be more of a ’24, ’25 implementation rollout. So we’ll start to see the returns there, which are part of what drove our growth ambitions over the longer-term is supported by further equipment rollout in terms of that level of efficiency and productivity.
Operator: Thank you. The last question comes from Brian Harbour with Morgan Stanley. Please state your question.
Brian Harbour: Yes. Thank you. Maybe just to finish, I’ll ask about channel development briefly. You’ve obviously seen quite strong growth there, quite good margins as well. How much do you expect that to continue? How does that kind of factor into your outlook for this year?
Howard Schultz: Michael?
Michael Conway: Yes. Thanks for the question. Yes. We did have a very strong performance in this quarter. From a top-line perspective, we had 15% growth that was driven by global our Coffee Alliance, our at-home coffee, where we maintained the number one share. But there was some pricing in that, and we think that’s going to moderate through the course of the year. Also, we had strong North American coffee partnership performance in the quarter. Some of that also had some one-to-time benefit as we were standing up a new Coleman. So that will benefit us going forward, but we won’t expect some of that to continue. So what I would say is that we benefited from a number of kind of seasonal and onetime factors. We do remain optimistic about the growth and the profile and we’ll probably settle into what we have seen in the past.
We have a lot of great things coming. We’re launching our new Pink Drink, which we talked about at the Investor Day, which should help our ready-to-drink business and our at-home coffee business continues to be strong as we are maintaining number one share.
Rachel Ruggeri: And if I would just add, we continue to believe that channel development will be a mid-40s margin business, which is really strong, and that’s what helps us in terms of being able to reaffirm our guidance on a full-year basis.
Operator: Thank you.
Howard Schultz: I’d just add last word.
Tiffany Willis: You do.
