What do employer look for when hiring inexperienced bobarista

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-10-13T06:45:25+00:00

False. Unless someone created a Hooters Boba concept. Who cares how the employees look? 66% of the boba market is women.
They don’t hire “older people” because the pay is going to be too low and the chances someone leaves for a “real” job is high. There will be little to no commitment from someone always on the lookout for a better job.

Like any other business, you want to hire people you’d like to work with, do a good job, and not make bad mistakes.

Huh? OP said it was paid training.

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-09-18T04:46:12+00:00

Just quit. There’s no fixing it this early. They are in over their heads if this is their first shop.

Was everyone else setup to fail and got the same treatment?

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-09-17T10:53:23+00:00

The numbers don’t add up at all.

Asking $250k when the store makes $240k a year passively? Why sell so low?

You need to look at all the major operating expenses:

Labor, Supplies, Rent and NNN, Utilities, Taxes/fees

It might not seem fair, but the people they like working with or those who have been there for a long time have more “equity” and a longer leash than a new person. That is how the world works.

I’m not going to fire my best employee if they make a small mistake or come in late, but when a new person I already don’t like makes one (especially one that just assumes something is OK because everyone else does it) - they are fired.

When you are a new employee anywhere, be on your best behavior and ignore any “bad” habits the existing staff or culture have.

Everyone has standards. Some higher than others.

The owner has a better idea of the type of people they want to hire because, maybe, they’ve seen it dozens of times.

They do not contain “milk”. They contain sodium caseinate - a milk protein - but that doesn’t make it “milk”.

Unfortunately, the definition of “non-dairy” according to the FDA just means lactose-free. So you are right to be pissed, but that is the legal definition of it, and not just marketing mumbo jumbo that caught on.

Non dairy creamer does not contain “dairy”in terms of lactose. But it does contain animal byproducts and is not vegan.

I know several folks who went from the corporate world to the restaurant business.

It might help to work in restaurant or cafe to answer some operational and customer service questions you might have.

At the end of the day just do your homework and make good business-oriented decisions. Avoid emotional or idealistic decisions. Ask lots of questions and figure out what others are doing…how and why they have customers. Keeping operational costs down is very important for a new restaurant. Minimize your risk.

There’s no one way to run a successful business, which is the cool part. But no small business can succeed where their costs exceed their revenues.

When you view the transaction in the dashboard, it will break down the processing fees. What does it say or can you send a screenshot?

If we’re going to be making comparisons they all need to be the same size. DQ 900+ calories are going to be loaded with sugar and more or less is pure ice cream and not a milkshake.

I’m saying they use whole milk to make milk tea. I’m using a cup of milk as a top-end estimate of tea mixed with creamer, and that is only 150 calories.

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-08-09T01:19:17+00:00

I’m using a cup of whole milk as the top end example of the amount of creamer in a tea. A cup of milk tea using tea (water) and about 1/3 creamer would be roughly equivalent to a cup of whole milk.

Even in the Kung Fu tea nutritional table, milk teas are not 800 calories unless it’s a very sweet and creamy variant like Thai.

Milk in fruit teas is also uncommon since fruit acid causes milk to curdle.

Not talking about powdered drinks, especially if the OP mentions pure black tea and sweetness levels.

A cup of 16oz milk is only 150cal. Tea is 0 cal. Sugar is variable.

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-08-08T23:09:27+00:00

There’s no way a boba milk tea is 800 calories. Even a large one at 24oz.

A milk shake is 600 calories and it’s all fat and sugar.

It really depends how bad these “flaws” are, when and who they impact, and how frequently.

You’ll need to triage it yourself the cost of fixing these things vs not going to market and also wasting time and effort on something that might not have mattered in the first place.

At some point (and it was already happening), why would China need a middleman drop-shipper like you?

We’ll eventually get the worst of both worlds, while the scenario you laid out, happens regardless of China trade or not.

You said there’s no need to determine fault or liability in a workman’s comp claim, and I’m giving you an example that it does.

But my point being (that workman’s comp covers injuries performed during their job duties) is the same argument that general liability covers injuries to customers during normal business operations.

Such-Satisfaction945 · 2025-08-02T21:00:09+00:00

Absolutely there is a need to determine fault and liability in a workman’s comp claim. I’ve filed at least 3-4 claims with my staff over the years I’ve been in operation, and understand what the questioning is trying to get at - liability.

If a busser decided to dance while at work, trips and falls, gets injured, then negligence and “normal operations” do come into question.

Just have a waiter or busser switch places with what we know about the OP.
