️ Group Ingredients by Expiry Date – Keep It Fresh & EfficientOne of the simplest ways to improve your ingredient management — and reduce waste — is to organize your stockroom and fridge by expiration date. Here’s how smart bubble tea shops do it:
✅ Step-by-Step Strategy:1️⃣ Label everything clearly
Use a bold marker or printed labels to write the date opened and expiry date on every bottle, jar, or bag (e.g., syrup, popping boba, powders).
2️⃣ First In, First Out (FIFO)
Always place newer stock behind older stock on your shelves. That way, your team uses the items that expire soonest.
3️⃣ Create a “Use Soon” Zone
Dedicate a small section in your fridge or dry rack for items that must be used within 7 days. Highlight with colored tape or signs.
Why It Matters:✔️ Minimizes ingredient spoilage✔️ Keeps flavors consistent and safe✔️ Reduces reordering mistakes✔️ Helps train new staff easily
