My dad has a franchise of 5 months that is already starting to fail. He has 250k+ put into it, and thats with a shared business partner (500k+ total.) It is located in a great plaza of food and grocery, BUT there is another boba shop 2 minutes from it. I dont know why they chose to build one so close to it. By the end of the second month things started to go downhill and getting worse and worse, only making average of $100-170 dollars a day with $135 dollars needed to pay workers hours for that day. Is there really any way to save this business? Sell the business? Bankrupcy? Any advice helpful
100% this! Boba freaks like consistency in their teas and if OOP is “playing” the Russian roulette on the Boba pearls and the sugar and flavor measurements then is game over. I’ve started drinking Boba very recently (seven years or so, max) and at the beginning, I’ve tried as many Boba shops as possible. Pretty soon I realized what a great, consistent, and reliable Boba tea cup was. As soon as my earlier favorites started failing on the Boba quality I was done with them. I don’t care how fancy the store is, how they use hard almost reusable plastic cups, or if they have 200 flavors.
