I used to own a couple of boba tea storefronts and food trucks here in Dallas/Ft Worth.
Most of this is in the ballpark and accurate on paper.
7:08 But the biggest thing that is way off is about staffing/managing. It’s not easy nor simple. It’s actually the hardest.

tapioca is manioc root which has a C:N complex, also known as cyanide, has to processed to be made non-toxic. (legit food supply, just has to be processed in a certain way). I was in San Francisco when they got their first bubble tea place, Wonderful Foods. There wasn't much for kids to do in the Sunset District, and that shop became it, lined up for bubble tea... When the neighborhood shops saw how successful that operation was, they all started selling bubble tea and bulk candy too. When the Wonderful Food lease came due, the landlord raised the rent 5X. The owner paid it the first time around but left the location when the landlord tried the same thing when the next lease was due for negotiation. In the meantime they were no longer the kids 'spot', just one of many bubble tea places on the street and only making it because family works there. (basically - beware of business opportunities that are 'easy entry')

I promise you the cost of goods in a bubble tea shop are not running 33%. The most expensive part are the pearls, which they charge extra for so those costs are covered. Essentially you are paying for the cup, tea, milk and flavoring. The most expensive part would be the plastic cups and straws, maybe 50 cents. The rest would be around 15 - 25 cents each. I dont see a cup of bubble tea costing more than a 1$ to make.

fun fact, here in Taiwan where bubble tea was invented, the look of the bubble tea really don't matter at all, firstly we call all these grab and go tea in cup 手搖杯,meaning it will have to be shake before you drink, most of the time by the store staff or a machine, so the look you see on Japanese or US bubble tea will not be there after you shake them. secondly, the use of clear plastic cup is ban here in Taiwan, so you can't even see how the tea look
Lastly tea are just a part of Taiwanese daily life at this point, so posting a picture of tea are like posting that you went to Walmart, no one really cares
so me as a Taiwanese traveling around the world, is pretty funny seeing people taking picture with their tea in wired color or fancy pattern

I don't think the growth looks exponential, but more like a traditional strong linear growth. Remember kids, "exponential" is not a synonym for "bigly".
