Bubble Tea Delivery Apps – What You Need To Know
Explosion in Popularity of Food and Bubble Tea Delivery Apps: Daily Growth in Bubble Tea Options
Over the last few years, there has been extraordinary growth in the size and number of food and drink delivery apps. From behemoths such Uber Eats and Deliveroo to smaller rivals like Graze and FarmDrop, you can get pretty much anything delivered to your door. And bubble tea delivery apps are no different.
Growth In Options
Bubble tea was slightly late to the delivery scene. This means there is an excellent opportunity for bubble tea retailers to gain a foothold in their local delivery market. However, in some areas this may not be true. Journeying through the sleepy Roman town of Bath there are no fewer than 5 different options for bubble tea shops. And this on just one app. For comparison, there are only 6 options for pizza delivery in the same place.
Getting your bubble tea shop on delivery apps will be a huge boost to your business, allowing you to reach new customers and serve existing ones in new ways.
What You Need
Obviously, not all bubble teas are suitable for the transportation necessary for home delivery. One absolute necessity is a cup-sealing machine. This will allow you to create tasty boba treats that will survive the car (or bike!) journeys from your boba shop to the home of your customers.
It is also worth experimenting with your products to see how they survive in transit.
- Do creamy and foamy toppings maintain their consistency during the journey?
- Does ice melt and dilute your bubble tea by the time it arrives?
- Are your cups strong enough to not crack on bumpy roads?
The Bubble Tea Market
The bubble tea market is already large and is growing rapidly in the UK and globally. Getting a foothold in your local delivery market is an excellent way of growing your business and reaching new customers.
As a sign of how hot the bubble tea delivery market is, Uber Eats has a dedicated bubble tea delivery page on its website.
