How We Rank These Stores

We score each location on a 0–100 scale using four weighted factors: noise environment (40% — quiet rooms rank highest, busy rooms are disqualified), outlet availability (30% — minimum 12 outlets to qualify), Wi-Fi speed (20% — estimated Mbps from store type and size), and seating density (10% — community tables and lounge seating preferred over bar stools). The ranking refreshes weekly against OpenStreetMap feature tags, Starbucks store metadata, and deterministic signals keyed to each location, so the ordering stays stable between refreshes.
