Promising little wait time and exactly zero attitude, ineptitude, or egregious name misspellings from baristas, this Czech start-up has seemingly managed to launch a quicker, more affordable approach to take-away café fare, one that Starbucks doesn’t plan to roll out until the end of the year, reports iDNES.cz.
