Day 152: In 2004, I was introduced to boba drinks when Lollicup and Quickly dominated the US market. These pioneers set the stage for a boba culture that has grown significantly over the last two decades. As the boba trend evolved, we saw a surge of new businesses, each offering innovative flavors and experiences. This growth mirrors broader trends in the food and beverage industry, where consumer preferences constantly shift towards unique and customizable options. The transformation of the boba industry is particularly relevant to business and technology for several reasons: 1. Innovation in products: The continuous introduction of new flavors and toppings reflects the importance of product innovation in staying competitive. 2. Customer Engagement: Modern boba shops leverage social media and apps to engage with customers, fostering a community and driving loyalty. 3. Tech integration: The adoption of mobile ordering and loyalty programs demonstrates how technology can enhance the customer experience and streamline operations. 4. Data analytics: Businesses now utilize data analytics to understand customer preferences and optimize their offerings.  No discussion about boba would be complete without mentioning Chun Shui Tang Teahouse in Taipei. Proudly claiming the title of the birthplace of bubble tea, this iconic establishment has set the gold standard for boba drinks. I had the chance to visit one of their branches in Taipei in 2016, and it was a truly memorable experience, witnessing firsthand the origin of this global phenomenon. The transformation of the boba industry is a testament to the importance of innovation, customer engagement, and technology in modern business. As the industry continues to evolve, one thing remains constant the love for these delightful and chewy drinks. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer, there's never been a better time to explore the boba world. #PCvibes #thursdaymotivation #stories #boba #business #foodtrends #culture #usmarkets #taipei #journeytotech #UnapologeTech #mentormesh

"Though off-premises became a necessity during Covid, the channel continues to grow because of how [younger consumers] use restaurants, whether via delivery, drive-thru, carryout or curbside. As such, technology has become critical and will be a top investment priority for operators big and small in 2024; 60% of operators plan to make technology investments this year, versus 48% in 2023." #fintech #restauranttech #restaurantindustry
