How to do it

  1. 1

    Open claude.ai and start a new conversation

  2. 2

    Paste this prompt and fill in your details:

  3. 3

    PROMPT: 'I run a bubble tea shop in [neighbourhood], BC. Our style is [describe: e.g. modern Taiwanese / traditional Hong Kong / fusion]. Our menu currently focuses on [e.g. fruit teas, milk teas, taro drinks]. It is currently [season] and seasonal ingredients I have access to include [list what is fresh/available now]. Generate 5 new seasonal drink special concepts. For each one give me: (1) a catchy English name, (2) a natural-sounding Chinese name, (3) the key ingredients, (4) a 2-sentence menu description in English, (5) a 2-sentence menu description in Chinese, (6) an Instagram caption under 100 words with 6 hashtags mixing English and Chinese.'

  4. 4

    Review the 5 concepts and pick the 2-3 that excite you most

  5. 5

    Cost them out before committing — the AI does not know your supplier prices

  6. 6

    Trial them as weekend specials first, then add the winners to the regular menu

  7. 7

    Drop the Instagram captions straight into Postiz and schedule your launch posts

Watch out for

  • Always calculate food cost before running a special — a drink that sounds great may not have the margin

  • Have a native speaker check the Chinese names — some AI-generated names sound fine in text but awkward spoken aloud

  • The AI will suggest trendy ingredients it has read about but may not know are out of season locally — adjust for what you can actually source
