POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Café owners and small business owners, this one’s for the nights you’re still doing payroll math after close. 🧾

We’re Ralph & Malyn. We’ve run three Pochi bubble tea cafes, and for years the part nobody warned us about wasn’t the people. It was the paperwork. The schedules due by midnight. The training docs. The “did we make enough to cover rent?” spreadsheet.

That’s not why you opened your business, but it’s what eats your day.

So we built the checklists, trackers, and templates we wish someone had handed us, made by operators for operators. Buy once, and every update to that product is yours at no extra cost. We’ll let you know whenever one drops.

👇 What’s the one task that keeps you up past close? Tell us. We might build the fix next.

Hi 👋 we’re Built by Purpose Co., and we’re really glad you’re here.

We’re Ralph & Malyn, the owners behind Pochi Bubble Tea with three locations, 10+ years of operations experience, and a lot of late nights.

Running a small business taught us something nobody warns you about: it’s hard, often lonely, and full of decisions nobody hands you a manual for.

So we built the manual.

Built by Purpose Co. makes practical guides, templates, and spreadsheets that give small-business owners the same structured systems big companies use — for hiring, pricing, operations, leadership, and your own finances. Sized for a real team and a real budget. No fluff, no jargon, and honestly priced.

Here’s how to start:

🎁Grab our free Daily Cafe Operations Checklist in the shop. This was adjusted to fit most cafes.

🛍️Explore the full toolkit → www.builtbypurposeco.com

❤️Give us a follow — we’ll be sharing real operator tips, ready-to-use templates, and behind-the-counter lessons from running our own shops.

Welcome aboard! Let’s build something that lasts.

— Ralph & Malyn

Classical music was my identity growing up. I played violin, viola, and piano. I was concertmaster for my high school orchestra and played viola at UW all throughout college. So when @eventfulmomentsllc asked me to photograph this fall editorial, I immediately said yes! Scroll to the last photo to see the inspiration behind it all!
