NU 12-Tea vending machine by Hannah Abellera

NU12 (2)-New Business Idea (Milk Tea Vending Machine)

There are several vending machines placed in malls, schools and offices that offer different products. Basic necessities for females like tissues and sanitary pads; junk foods, soft drinks as well as coffee and chocolate drinks are also available in some schools and offices. But there is one product that I actually think could be considered to be available in vending machines, and that is milk tea.
Today, more and more people, from kids to senior citizens, are being captivated by the delightful taste of milk tea. Probably, because most of us believe that tea is a healthier drink than coffee and soft drinks. Basically, milk tea is not difficult to prepare because its ingredients are readily available in the supermarket, namely, black tea, sugar, milk, tapioca, water and ice.
The vending machine would practically be similar to the one that serve coffee, but it will be serving hot and cold beverages. The price would probably range from Php40 to Php50, more or less half price lower than the ones sold in the shops in the mall. Size of cup would be 16oz, one size only. There will be a dispenser for the black tea, milk, water and ice. These ingredients will be served in standard amount. There will also be a dispenser for the "sinkers". Sinkers can be modified, the customer can choose tapioca, nata de coco, or grass jelly. The amount of sugar would vary depending on the customer's preference of sweetness. A sweetness meter just like in the coffee vending machines can be used. Straws and cups would be released by the vending machine first, followed by the milk tea. If the customer wants a hot plain black tea, it would also be available in a lesser price, at least Php20. 3.0
