The franchise offers an extensive menu featuring over 150 items, including flavored teas, milk teas, snow bubbles, icy drinks, juices, flavored milk, tea slushes, tea lemonades, yogurt frosts, coffees, and cheese foam series.

Tapioca Express provides a detailed and structured training program designed to ensure consistent and effective operation of its franchised cafés. The training encompasses both initial and ongoing components to maintain quality and compliance with brand standards.
Tapioca Express provides franchisees with a “Designated Territory,” which is generally a ½ mile radius around the approved Café Location. This area may vary in size depending on geographic and demographic factors, and it can be smaller in non-traditional locations like malls or airports.
While the franchisor commits not to open another Tapioca Express Café in this territory during the agreement term—so long as the franchisee is compliant—this protection is conditional and non-exclusive.
The franchisor retains broad “Reserved Rights,” allowing it to sell products through various channels like online platforms, supermarkets, or alternative trademarks even within the Designated Territory.
