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
500k to sell boba is absolutely fucking insane. And bubble tea is cheap af. It’s mostly water which is basically free. And your labor is all minimum wage.
You need to talk to the franchiser immediately. There’s serious problems if they don’t have a marketing plan for you.
