Based on company data charted for us by BI Intelligence, Starbucks' mobile payment volume has leaped to $517 million from $302 million a year ago - a jump of more than 70% - with over 12 million current users of the mobile app. But those numbers should only increase now that Schultz plans on implementing a mobile ordering and payment system set to launch later next year. "Imagine the ability to create a standing order of Starbucks delivered hot to your desk daily," Schultz said. "That's our version of e-commerce on steroids."
