Case Study: Mirror Tea and Sake House achieves over 60% sales growth with Square

How This Tea House Increased Sales by Over 60% and Navigated Post-Pandemic Challenges with Square

Mirror Tea and Sake House, a family-owned Japanese café in Brooklyn, New York, faced the challenge of securing funding, managing cash flow, and recovering from pandemic-related sales declines. The business turned to Square for support, using services such as Square Loans, Square Point of Sale, and Square Inventory Management to help fuel growth and streamline operations.

Square helped Mirror Tea and Sake House access fast financing, including an installment loan that funded a liquor license and supported reopening after COVID-19 disruptions. The results were significant: sales increased by over 60%, indoor dining reopened, inventory and staffing were sustained, and Square’s integrated ecosystem saved time by centralizing payments, reporting, and financial management.
