Dear Franchisees,

Starting September 1, 2024, Teapioca International will transition to using Bill.com as the vendor for all ACH withdrawals, including the Royalty Fees and National Branding Fund. By moving to Bill.com, TPI can streamline and automate the invoicing and ACH process, leading to increased efficiency and savings.

There will be no change or action required on your end. However, you will see the Bill.com reference alongside the Teapioca International name in your bank statement for Royalty Fees, National Branding, and any ACH withdrawals from TPI.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Admin Team at admin@teapiocalounge.com.

Thank you for your support!

Dear Franchisees,

We currently offer a 25% discount to first responders—law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and military members—through our -M First Responder Discount program. It’s our honor to support these courageous individuals. The -M button indicates this is Royalty Free from the Weekly ACH Sales report.

Due to inflation and profit margin considerations, we’re allowing flexibility in the discount rate. Franchisees can choose their own discount percentages and are encouraged to participate. To join, please submit a Work Request with your discount percentage.

For participating stores, we recommend displaying a laminated or plastic sign at the entrance. Templates for the First Responder Discount Notice Sign are available on OneHub: https://ws.onehub.com/folders/6ka3plug.

For further assistance, reach out to Admin at admin@teapiocalounge.com.

Thank you,

Hello everyone!

Boba was invented in 1988, kickstarting the industry that eventually gave rise to Teapioca Lounge. To commemorate the invention of boba, we will be having our third annual BOBA 88 celebration from Thursday, August 8 (8/8) to Friday, August 9.

Different from previous years, this BOBA 88 promotion does not involve a discount at the point of sale, and does not require any action by franchisees or staff. Instead, Teapioca Rewards members will automatically earn 88 bonus points when they purchase any Cream Tea beverage.

For more details and access to the marketing materials, please review the Knowledge Base article here:

Please let us know if you have any questions or require assistance at marketing@teapiocalounge.com. Thank you!

Please review the Drink-Remake Policy details, available in OneHub: https://ws.onehub.com/files/uev44aiv. We encourage you to print and discuss it with your staff to ensure alignment. This policy has also been added to our “Customer Service Manual.”

On March 19th, 2024, TPI sent out an announcement communicating the deployment of our new Premium Tea Labeling System. You all received the first set of the labels through TeaVerse, and they should have been placed on your premium tea canisters by now.

To better assist you on the positioning of the label, we are auditing all the stores to ensure the labels are placed on the canisters correctly. We are requiring you to take a picture of your current Premium Tea Canister display and submit it to admin@teapiocalounge.com by July 26th, 2024.

Please let us know if you need more information. If you need more labels, please purchase them from TeaVerse.

Dear Franchisees,

As part of our ongoing efforts to creatively promote our phased-out products, we are thrilled to introduce 2 NEW “Cherry Blossom” drinks. These exciting additions are aimed at driving foot traffic to your stores by creating a sense of urgency among customers to experience these “Limited Edition” beverages before they’re gone. These drinks will be available at all locations on Monday, July 22, 2024.

Our marketing approach will be exclusively digital, focusing on CDs, TV menus, and social media platforms. There will be no printed posters.

Attached you will find recipes and a reference sheet. Please review these materials with your staff to ensure they are prepared for the launch on July 22nd. The recipes adhere to our standard flavor guidelines, and the POS buttons can be found in a new folder labeled “Limited Edition.”
