Reimagine the Boba Experience
Originated from Taiwan in the 1920s, tea, milk, syrup, and tapioca balls came together to form what is now known as Boba tea. The colorful and photogenic drinks have experienced continuous growth since their introduction to the global market and quickly became the drink of choice in the young adult population worldwide.
Yuca Bristo is a venture product by Hatch Duo that aims to elevate the energetic, young, and fun world of boba tea by combining it with a drive-through experience and fully autonomous robot arm barista. With a one-time investment of $60,000-$100,000, half the average of a typical drive-through cafe initial cost, Yuba Bristo offers a fully operational cafe without the recurring labor cost and enormous training time required for a human-operated shop. We designed this boba shop to be a highly efficient, hassle-free system featuring a bold and exciting design that appeals to the young consumer demographic.
