Let's talk about something that catches most bubble tea shop owners off guard. 🧋

Your busiest day is not always your most profitable day.

Think about it.

On your busiest days — you're using more ingredients, more packaging, more staff hours. Wastage goes up. Mistakes go up. Remakes go up.

So while your revenue looks great on a busy Saturday — your costs that day might also be significantly higher than a quiet Tuesday.

This is why tracking your numbers weekly — not just monthly — is so important.

Because when you only check at the end of the month you can't see which days or which weeks were actually profitable and which ones were quietly losing you money.

The busiest day and the most profitable day are often two very different days.

Once you start tracking weekly you'll see patterns you never noticed before.

And those patterns? That's where the real profit improvements happen.

Follow along — we're breaking all of this down inside The Boba CFO.

Here's something that will change how you see your bubble tea shop forever. 🧋

Most owners think their biggest expense is ingredients.

It's not.

When you add up rent, staff wages, utilities, packaging, delivery platform fees and ingredient costs together — ingredients are often only 25 to 35 percent of your total costs.

The rest? Quietly eating your profit every single month without you realising.

This is why tracking every cost category separately is so important.

Not just ingredients. Not just rent. Everything. Together. In one place.

Because until you see the full picture — you're always going to feel like the money just disappears.

That's exactly what the budgeting tracker inside The Boba CFO helps you do.

See the full picture. Finally understand where every dollar goes. 📊

Let's talk about something nobody warns you about before you open a bubble tea shop. 🧋

Delivery platforms.

Uber Eats. DoorDash. They look like free money at first — more orders, more customers, more sales.

But here's what they don't tell you.

They take 20 to 30 percent of every single order.

So if a customer pays $10 for a drink through Uber Eats — you might only see $7. Or less.

Now multiply that across every delivery order you get in a month.

That's a significant chunk of your revenue quietly disappearing before you even see it.

Most bubble tea owners don't calculate this. They just see the orders coming in and assume it's good.

It's not always good. It depends on your margins.

Know your numbers before you scale your delivery. 📊

Most bubble tea shop owners are solving the same problems. 🧋

Rising ingredient costs. Delivery platform fees eating into margins. Staff wages. Rent. Packaging.

Every single cost quietly taking a piece of every drink you sell.

And at the end of the month — you're left wondering why the numbers don't add up.

The truth is — it's not because you're bad at business.

It's because nobody ever showed you how to track where every dollar actually goes.

That's exactly what The Boba CFO is here to fix.

If you own a bubble tea shop and you've ever ended a month wondering where all the money went — you're in the right place. 🧋

Most bubble tea shop owners are working 12 hour days, making hundreds of drinks, and still barely breaking even. Not because they're doing anything wrong. But because nobody ever taught them how to actually run the numbers.

Did you know most bubble tea shop owners don't know their break-even point? 🧋

That means every single day they open their doors — they have no idea how many drinks they need to sell just to cover their costs.

That number takes less than 10 minutes to calculate. And once you know it — everything changes.

You stop guessing. You start deciding.
