It seems like there’s a Starbucks on every corner in Las Vegas. But in case that’s not enough, the coffee franchise is making it even easier for Southern Nevadans to feed their caffeine addiction.

Previously offered only to customers in the Pacific Northwest, Starbucks’ mobile order and pay platform has been expanded to 3,400 more locations in the U.S., including stores in the Las Vegas Valley.

The feature allows iPhone users to place their order and pay in advance and then pick it up at selected Starbucks locations.

Mobile order and pay is integrated into the Starbucks mobile app and My Starbucks Rewards loyalty program.

The app is expected to increase the speed of service and make orders easier for customers and baristas, according to a Starbucks news release.

The feature will be available for Android users later this year.
