The commercial frozen drink machines and
margarita machines are versatile, allowing you to serve frozen cappuccinos or
lattes, granitas, frozen margaritas and daiquiris, frozen lemonade, or slush
drinks. Margarita machines are a must for Latin-themed restaurants or even
restaurants simply looking to add a tropical flair. Best of all, slushy drinks
are popular year-round, making a frozen drink or margarita machine an
investment that will bring returns season after season.
Some commercial frozen drink machine
utilizes one syrup, while others utilize two syrups simultaneously. A frozen
drink machine, often called a slush machine or margarita machine, lets your
business offer a number of quality frozen or chilled beverages. Having cold
drinks available can increase sales and give customers a refreshing break
during the hotter months or sweet treat year-round. Since these machines are
available in a number of different types and styles, it's important to know
what you want to serve and how much you will need to serve each day before
investing in one.
A commercial frozen drink machine is
manufactured to fit on countertops, but how much space they ultimately take up
depends on the size of the model, as a slush machine with only one hopper will
take up less space than one with three hoppers. The compressor type also
impacts the space requirement. These machines are generally self-contained and
air-cooled, although some manufacturers offer water-cooled models. The
commercial frozen drink machine is available with a number of aesthetic
variations. Some models are finished in black or stainless steel, or a
combination of the two. Although many hoppers are clear, polycarbonate bowls
that allow customers to see the product being mixed, machines being utilized in
a busy commercial kitchen or other behind-the-scenes area might not benefit
from that visual interest. Most slush machines have a graphics display across
the top that might be back-lit, drawing customers in and advertising what
products you have.
A commercial frozen drink machine is the
best way to attract customers in a hot summer day, make a profit & maximize
client’s satisfaction with granitas, slushies, smoothies etc. The frozen drink
machine comes in a variety of styles, options & colors. No matter what type
of drink you want to offer, your drink mix will likely come in the form of a
liquid concentrate or granulated powder, both of which need to be mixed
thoroughly before being added to the machine's hopper. Some machines are
recommended for use with mixes that fall within a certain brix level or ratio,
which indicates the percentage of the weight of sugar in the mix. You can consult
with your food supplier to understand which options will work with your commercial
frozen drink machine.
It's important to consider how easily
cleaned or maintained a machine might be. Some are constructed with fewer parts
for easier maintenance, while others have parts that can be sanitized in a
commercial dishwasher. Many models come with removable drip trays, dispensers
that won't drip during use and touchpad displays that
guide the programming, cleaning, and maintenance processes.
