The True Cost of Deliveries: Gong Cha
San Jose, CA
At Gong Cha, the customer is king with quality that you can taste. From their amazing selection of Milk Foam Teas to their creative series, Gong Cha has it all at affordable prices. Gong Cha also allows you to customize your sweetness levels and customize your topping to your preference.
Logistics
While Gong Cha has locations throughout the United States, I have chosen to analyze the San Jose Gong Cha to a delivery address in downtown San Jose. The restaurant is 5.1 miles away and delivery is available on Uber Eats and Grub Hub. I am ordering the Milk Foam Green tea and increasing the order quantity to compare between $5, $15, and $50 order charges:
