How does 'Drive Up with Starbucks' work at Target?

Target already offers the curbside delivery service for other goods inside the store. Here's how the Starbucks addition will work:

• Customers can place a curbside delivery order at a participating Target store and head to that location once they have received a notification it's ready.
• Then, the customer will receive a prompt to place a Starbucks order, will click "add for drive up" and pay for the order.
• Once the check-in process is completed and the customer has hit "I'm on my way" in the Target app, the Starbucks order will be prepared.
• The customer will park in Target's designated "Drive Up" spaces and hit "I'm here" in the Target app, and a Target employee will deliver the Starbucks order (along with any other Target purchases) to their car.
