Milk Tea Console: The Art of Design and Zoning

In a milk tea shop, the design and zoning of the milk tea operation table can be regarded as an art, which directly affects the efficiency, quality, and customer experience of beverage production.

Reasonable design and precise zoning can make a milk tea shop stand out in a fiercely competitive market.

From a design perspective, the first thing to consider is space utilization.

The size of milk tea shops varies, and regardless of whether the store space is spacious or compact, the operation desk needs to maximize the use of every inch of space.

For small milk tea shops, a compact design is usually adopted, closely arranging various functional areas to reduce unnecessary walking distance.

For example, by placing the ice maker, shaker area, and cup dispensing area adjacent to each other, the salesperson can quickly take ice, shake the shaker to mix drinks, and dispense the cup quickly when making milk tea, greatly saving time.

However, large milk tea shops have more space to utilize, and the workstations can be designed in a more spacious style, which not only facilitates employee operation but also creates a more professional and atmospheric visual effect.

The choice of material is also crucial.

The countertop is usually made of stainless steel 204 or 304 material, which is not only sturdy and durable, but also has good corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.

Even under frequent use and contact with various beverage ingredients, it can maintain long-lasting smoothness.

The cabinet part can be made of wood or plastic materials according to the overall style of the store.

Wooden materials can add a warm and natural atmosphere to a store, while plastic materials are lighter, more economical, and offer a wide range of color options, making it easier to create a personalized store image.

FEST factory, as a well-known one-stop milk tea equipment solution supplier in China, has rich customer solutions around the world and can provide customers with high-quality products.

Next is the crucial partitioning section.

The raw material area is the foundation of the entire operation platform, which is used to store various raw materials for making milk tea.

Here, dry ingredients such as tea, coffee powder, pearls, etc. are usually placed in transparent containers with sealed lids for easy identification and retrieval by staff.

And liquid raw materials, such as milk, syrup, juice, etc., will be neatly placed in the refrigerator to ensure freshness and quality.

A reasonable order of raw material placement is also important, and commonly used raw materials should be placed in the most easily accessible locations to reduce search time.

The production area is the core area of the entire workstation, where various equipment for making milk tea is concentrated.

Shockcup, measuring cup, stirring rod and other tools are readily available and arranged in an orderly manner.

Intelligent tea brewing machines, steam milk brewing machines, and other equipment will also be installed in this area.

The placement of these devices needs to follow the operating procedures, such as brewing tea first and then adding milk or other ingredients. Therefore, the tea brewing machine should be placed near the raw material area and in a position that is convenient for subsequent operations, making it easy to complete the milk tea making steps in a coherent manner.

The cleaning area is equally indispensable.

A cleaning area with sufficient sinks to promptly clean used tools and containers, ensuring hygiene during the operation process.

Cleaning supplies such as dishwashing detergent and brushes can be equipped next to the sink, as well as a drain rack to facilitate draining of water after tool cleaning and avoid secondary pollution.

In addition to the basic partitions mentioned above, some modern milk tea workstations also have display areas.

This area usually displays some specialty drinks, new products, or limited edition cups in transparent glass windows to attract customers' attention and stimulate their desire to purchase.

At the same time, the display area can also serve as a platform for brand promotion, placing some brand merchandise or promotional posters to deepen customers' impression of the brand.

The design and partitioning of the milk tea operation platform is a process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.

Only through careful design and reasonable zoning can milk tea shops operate more smoothly, provide customers with high-quality drinks and services, and occupy a place in the fiercely competitive milk tea market.
