Boba Shop DiaryShop-opening sim
If you opened a boba shop,
when would it pay off?
Pick a city, a location and your budget, then run the shop for 7 days. Rent, wages, prep and the weather: try out the real headaches of opening a shop in a little pixel-art store.
- The plan
- Your city, location and budget decide the startup cost and the rent.
- Every morning
- Check the forecast and decide how much boba to cook. Staff and prices are set before you open.
- The numbers
- Sales, cost ratio, labor ratio and rent ratio, all the way to how long it takes to earn back your startup cost.
Free, no sign-up. The 7 days take about 5 minutes.
Which city?
How much money do you have?
More money opens up more locations and leaves you more cushion after opening.
What kind of location?
Part-timer
On your own you can serve about 200 drinks a day. With a part-timer, about 400. You'll keep this setup for all 7 days.
Menu prices
You'll keep these prices for 7 days. Above the going rate you get fewer customers; below it you earn less.
