Choose your core menu system
Start with the drinks that sell daily. Add complexity only when your ops are tight.
System 1: “Daily Best Sellers” (launch + stability)
- Milk teas + fruit teas that move every day
- 2–3 toppings that cover most orders
- Designed for speed and repeatability
System 2: “Signature Builds” (higher ticket)
- Brown sugar builds + premium toppings
- Seasonal rotations that don’t break ops
- Upsell-friendly menu design
System 3: “Peak Volume Workflow” (busy locations)
- Batch + prep routines that protect speed
- Station layout for consistent build steps
- Built for staff turnover
What to stock first (shop fundamentals)
This is a sensible baseline. Scale flavours and toppings once you see your top sellers.
