What equipment is needed to open a regular milk tea shop?

Equipment list:

1. Sealing machine

There are two types of sealing machines, one is a fully automatic sealing machine and the other is a manual sealing machine. Their purpose is to seal the mouth of the cup. However, the fully automatic one is much more convenient. You only need to put the cup on it and it will automatically seal. It is faster than the manual one, and you can do other things during the sealing time, which can improve work efficiency.

2. Water heater

The main purpose is to heat hot water to make tea. Don't underestimate this device and think you can boil water to make tea yourself, then you are totally wrong. Tea is the main raw material of milk tea shops. There are very few products that do not contain tea, so it is used in large quantities. Using a water heater can ensure that hot water is always available. It is not only troublesome to boil hot water by yourself, but also once the tea is gone and the water is not boiled, the product cannot be sold. The hot water in a milk tea shop cannot be cut off. It is not only used for making tea, but also when debugging products. For example, some powdered raw materials, such as matcha, need to be mixed with hot water so that they will not stick together. It becomes a lump and affects the taste of the product.

3. Water purifier

Tap water filtration. Anyone who makes drinks cannot do without water. Making milk tea now and selling it requires a lot of water. If tap water is not filtered and used directly to make milk tea, it will be detrimental to the health of consumers.

4. Smoothie machine and ice crusher

Smoothie machine is mainly used to make smooth ice, while ice crusher is used to break ice. Because summer is very hot and many people like to drink ice, milk tea shops will be more popular if they introduce some ice drinks accordingly. Smoothie machines are not only used for making smoothies, but also for fruit juice extraction. Ice crushers also come in two types: manual and automatic.

5. Manual press

It is mainly used to squeeze lemons and oranges. Milk tea shops generally sell more lemonade, so you need to use it.

6. Cash register

Used for cash register. A must-have for every small store, it is not only as simple as collecting money and changing money, but also has a record on it for every cup of product sold, making it easy to check and compare which products are selling well and which are not selling well.

7. Fructose quantitative machine

It is used for quantitative sugaring of fructose. Through the rationing of fructose, the sweetness of the same product can be kept consistent, so that some products are not very sweet and some are not sweet enough. Its price is also relatively high, around 2,200. If your milk tea shop doesn’t use fructose, you don’t need to use it.

8. Fresh-keeping cabinets and freezers

Fresh-keeping cabinets are mainly used to store materials and fresh fruits that are easy to deteriorate after opening. The freezer is mainly used for refrigeration of ice cubes. Of course, if you have the conditions, you can buy an ice maker.

9. Electronic scales

are mainly used for weighing. Since many milk tea products are produced in certain proportions, electronic scales are required.

Various measuring cups and ounce cups

The specifications of measuring cups include 5000ML, 1000ML, 250ML, etc. 5000 is used to make tea and serve as a container. There are 40ML and 20ML cups.

10. Precautions

In addition to the above equipment, there are also some small appliances, such as: shaker pot, bar soup, tea filter bag, medium egg beater, Squeeze bottle, squeeze nozzle, jam spoon, pearl colander, fruit powder spoon, milk tea bucket, ice shovel, tweezers, induction cooker, etc. There may be some that are not listed, so you need to pay more attention when opening a store. For example, if your milk tea shop sells coffee, you will also need a coffee machine.
