TAO BOBA
Executive Summary
TAO BOBA, a growing bubble tea shop in Kileleshwa, Nairobi, Kenya, was ready to modernize its customer experience with a self-checkout kiosk. However, after engaging with six different solution providers without success, the project had become a major source of frustration. Enter Cute Profit. By delivering a seamless self-ordering kiosk on time and within budget, Cute Profit helped TAO BOBA transform its operations, resulting in a 40% increase in profit and paving the way for future expansion.
The Challenge: A Trail of Failed Implementations
To keep up with high foot traffic and shifting consumer preferences, TAO BOBA knew they needed to implement a self-checkout kiosk. They wanted a system that would speed up ordering, reduce wait times, and elevate the overall customer experience.
Unfortunately, finding the right technology partner proved to be a massive hurdle. TAO BOBA engaged with six different solutions providers in vain. These previous attempts resulted in wasted time, stalled progress, and growing frustration. They needed a reliable partner who could execute the vision without overcomplicating the process, blowing the budget, or missing deadlines.
The Solution: On-Time and On-Budget Delivery by Cute Profit
After a series of disappointments, TAO BOBA partnered with Cute Profit. Understanding the client's previous frustrations, the Cute Profit team prioritized clear communication, reliability, and speed of execution.

The Results: Massive ROI and Rapid Expansion
The introduction of the Cute Profit self-ordering kiosk completely revolutionized TAO BOBA’s business model.
-
40% Increase in Profit: By significantly reducing staff overhead and reallocating employees to focus on drink preparation rather than order taking, TAO BOBA saw a massive 40% boost in their bottom line.

The "Wow" Factor: The sleek, modern kiosks created a highly engaging and interactive experience for customers, reducing perceived wait times and driving repeat business.
-
Increased Sales Volume: The intuitive upselling features of the kiosk and faster order processing led to a noticeable increase in overall business volume.
