Company Description

In 2018, Guangzhe and Yueming started Yummy Future in their apartment after graduating from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Their mission was to improve the coffee shop experience for both customers and owners. Despite high gross margin, increasing labor cost do not leave room for unpredictable events or seasonality of business.
