How boba unit economics work

How boba unit economics work

Bubble tea sells at a high gross margin: ingredient cost per drink is a small fraction of the retail price, and the footprint needed is small. The variables that decide whether a unit is profitable are footfall, rent, waste control and speed of service at peak. Our training is built around those four things.
