Both serve coffee.
Udipi restaurant is super-fast in terms of serving coffee so is Starbucks (in fact you Self-Serve, find your own table, carry your coffee and sit).
Where do you pay more?

However, they are in a rush to throw you out or sit on your head for the next order. This is a transaction where the focus is on fulfilling an order you require as quickly as possible.
This is where most distributors and advisors are focusing their technology efforts on.
Can we do a transaction on BSE, NSE, or MFU? Can we send reports?

Starbucks is not in the business of Selling Coffee. They are in the business of creating a Client Experience through this Third Place.

A Transaction is a Commodity. Anyone can do it and maybe faster, better, and cheaper than you do. However, Client Experience is unique and creating awesome Client Experiences will set you apart just like it did for Starbucks.
