Frequently asked questions
What is the best bubble tea franchise in Australia?
Australia has a crowded, fast-growing bubble tea field, from larger networks such as Sharetea to newer boba and milk-tea systems. The best one depends on your budget, site (kiosk vs storefront) and local foot traffic. This list ranks the systems on file by network size; confirm each brand's costs and territory in its disclosure document.
How much does a bubble tea franchise cost in Australia?
A bubble tea store's all-in cost is driven mainly by fit-out and equipment and sits in the lower-to-mid quick-service range. Few systems publish an all-in figure, so see the Quick-Service Food category in the Fee Index for the benchmark and confirm against the disclosure document.
