Issue
Bob is a student at a local college who is an avid bubble tea lover. He loves the variety of flavors, the chewy tapioca pearls, and the refreshing sensation the drink provides. Unfortunately, Bob is having trouble finding a consistent, high-quality bubble tea Chague near campus. Some stores use low quality ingredients, while others lack flavor variety. Stores that carry a better product have long lines and are often out of popular flavors before Bob even arrives.
This is a common problem that many students face. Bubble Tea’s popularity in the United States has grown rapidly, but finding a high-quality bubble tea room remains a challenge for consumers. The issue is relevant because there is a demand for a bubble tea room that offers consistent quality and variety of flavors, and prompt service, especially in college towns.
Currently, the solution to this problem is to find the nearest bubble tea shop and hope for the best. However, this has proven to be a frustrating and unreliable solution for many consumers. Additionally, some have resorted to making their own bubble tea at home, which can be time consuming and expensive. The absence of a reliable solution highlights the existence of the problem and the need for a new approach.
The problem exists because the current bubble tea industry is fragmented and lacks standardization . Many stores do not have clear and consistent recipes or quality control measures, resulting in a varied product. Plus, supply chain issues add to the problem, as it can be difficult to source high-quality ingredients and tapioca pearls that aren’t pre-sweetened or dried. Taken together, these issues create an inconsistent and often disappointing customer experience.
- Poor quality ingredients and lack of standardization
- Long lines and sold out flavors of popular spots
- Lack of fast service
- Supply chain issues lead to low quality products
