Administration | Reminder: P&L Submission for Q1 and Q2 2024

Dear Franchisees,

This is a reminder that your 2024 Q1 and Q2 P&L Statements and Balance Sheets need to be submitted promptly. You can upload these documents by visiting the Z Portal at https://z.teapiocaintl.com/ and using the P&L submission Jotform under the Finance tab.

Beginning at the end of this quarter (Q3), the submission of quarterly profit and loss (P&L) reports and Balance Sheets will be strictly enforced. Please be aware that failure to submit these reports within fifteen (15) days after each quarter’s end will constitute a default under your Franchisee Agreement, and late fees may apply. For more details, please refer to Article 12, Section 12.4.
Timely submission is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring compliance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at admin@teapiocalounge.com.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Administration | Introducing Jessica Beltran to TPI Operation Team

Dear Franchisees,

We are pleased to introduce Jessica Beltran, jessicabeltran@teapiocalounge.com, a dedicated employee who has been with the Teapioca Lounge family for over six years. Her journey at this company began as a part-time employee while she was attending University. After graduating, she realized how much she enjoyed being part of Teapioca Lounge and decided to join full-time.

A few months later, she got promoted to assistant manager at the Scofield Farms location in Austin, Texas. Over the years, she had the pleasure of training employees, and even some franchise owners. Currently, she’s working with Teapioca International where she will keep on contributing to our brand’s growth and success.

We are confident that her experience and dedication will be a valuable asset to our company.

Thank you all,

Administration | New 12 oz testing

Dear Franchisees,

We are starting a new initiative called “Small Sips” to test the 12 oz size exclusively at select participating test locations. This test is limited to a couple of Teapioca Lounge stores and is not being implemented elsewhere at this time. This is an exciting opportunity to gather valuable feedback and insights on this new size offering.

We believe this trial will help us better understand customer preferences and optimize our product offerings. Based on the results of the testing we will decide whether or not to officially add the 12 oz size drinks to the menu full time for all locations.

If a customer at a non-participating location inquires about the 12 oz drink, please inform them that their location will not be offering them yet. In the near future, your location might become available once the testing phase is completed.

Thank you all… …
