Dear Franchisees,

As we prepare for the upcoming holiday promotions, please be aware of our final availability date for Pumpkin Spice:

December 31, 2024, is the hard stop date for all Pumpkin Spice offerings.
On this date, POS buttons for Pumpkin Spice will be removed, and the drink will no longer be available for order.

In preparation, we will:
– Remove Pumpkin Spice advertisements from the menu TVs to make space for Black Friday promotions.
– Continue displaying Pumpkin Spice on the Customer Display Screen (CDS) until early December, after which these images will also be removed.

Pumpkin Spice is offered while supplies last. If your location runs out of Pumpkin Spice before the hard stop date, please submit an IT support ticket at support.it@teapiocalounge.com to have your Pumpkin Spice buttons removed from the POS early.

Thank you for your cooperation as we make these seasonal updates.

The solution includes a Smart Switch for automatic on/off functions, providing fully automated operation with minimal manual adjustments. Franchisees can obtain the device for a one-time cost of $250, with monthly fees waived. To order, please email support.it@teapiocalounge.com.

Dear Franchisees,

In response to customer demand and feedback from Franchisees, we explored introducing a smaller drink size. After research and testing, we decided against offering a standard 12 oz size. Instead, we’re developing a limited pre-selected menu for these smaller drinks.

This approach streamlines operations and simplifies training by limiting customer choice to specific drinks in the Small Size category. We plan to launch this option soon, treating it as a test product. Its permanence will depend on results and feedback from the trial.

In this survey, we seek your valuable feedback on the overall concept and your ideas for naming this category.

Thank you all, we anticipate your feedback!
