Done-For-You Ramen Corner: A New Revenue Stream for Small Shops & Franchises

Add a taste of Korea and a stream of steady profits — without the hassle.


 

If you run a boba shop, mini mart, or small café, you already know this: drinks alone aren’t enough. Customers want more. And today’s Gen Z crowd craves bold, Instagrammable flavors that go beyond your regular tapioca pearls.

Enter: the Done-For-You Korean Ramen Corner — the easiest way to turn empty wall space into a high-profit food experience.

What Is a Ramen Corner?

A Ramen Corner is a plug-and-play food station that lets customers choose from a variety of Korean instant noodles, cook it themselves in under 3 minutes, and enjoy it right inside your shop. It includes:

  • A professional ramen induction cooker

  • Korean ramen shelves pre-stocked with trending flavors

  • A custom setup with signage, pricing, and bowls

  • Optional: stools or mini tables shaped like ramen cups!

No chef, no hood, no kitchen needed. Just plug it in, stock up, and start making sales.

Why Small Shops & Franchises Are Adding It

Reason Benefit
High Margin Most bowls sell for 3–4x the cost
Minimal Labor Self-serve = fewer employees
Zero Kitchen Required No need for permits or grease traps
Trendy & Shareable Customers post it for you on socials
Flexible Footprint Works in shops as small as 1x1 meters

Whether you’re located in a mall, college town, or K-beauty plaza, a Ramen Corner can fit right in and pay for itself in just weeks.

How It Works (Our Done-For-You Process)

  1. We Design Your Corner
    We help you create a custom setup based on your space — whether it’s a cozy corner or a high-traffic counter. You get branded signage, a starter inventory list, pricing suggestions, and visual layout ideas.

  2. We Ship the Ramen Cooker + Inventory
    Our Korean induction ramen cookers are compact, plug-and-play, and require no special installation. We’ll ship it directly to you, along with a curated box of trending Korean ramen flavors your customers will love.

  3. We Guide Your Setup
    Our team walks you through the ideal shelf organization, menu display, and even bonus merch or collectibles to drive repeat customers.

  4. You Start Selling in Days
    Once it’s set up, all you need to do is turn it on, promote it on your social media, and watch the buzz build. Many store owners recover their investment in the first 30–45 days.

Who Is This Perfect For?

  • Boba shops looking to add savory snacks without hiring kitchen staff

  • Convenience stores that want to offer something hot and unique

  • Franchises or food stalls wanting a low-cost expansion concept

  • Entrepreneurs testing Korean food trends in malls, college towns, or border towns like Mexicali, San Diego, and El Paso

  • Bubble tea brands that want to boost ticket size with easy food bundles

Why It Goes Viral (Especially With Gen Z)

This isn’t just food — it’s an experience. Ramen Corners are visually satisfying, easy to film, and incredibly shareable on TikTok, Instagram, and Reels. You get free marketing every time a customer posts their bowl with a cute sticker or collectible card.

Add a simple loyalty program or monthly ramen collectible, and you'll have customers returning just to see what’s new.
