WHAT TO EXPECT
Knowledge you can put to work.
For cafés, ice cream shops, hospitality businesses and entrepreneurs who want to add açaí or soft serve to their menu.
Açaí, soft serve & ingredients
The mix, recipe and machine need to work together. We discuss ingredient selection, preparation, consistency and portioning for açaí and soft serve.
Practice & serving
From preparation to the finished product: serving in cones or cups, açaí bowls, toppings and ideas for shakes and frozen yogurt.
Cleaning & workflows
Filling, operating and cleaning the machine, and organising your team's tasks. Always follow the instructions for your specific equipment and mix.
Sales & self-service
Compare staffed sales, self-service and vending concepts. Available space, peak demand and the customer journey determine the right solution.
Costing & menu planning
Calculate portion sizes, ingredients, toppings and packaging. Account separately for labour, electricity, rent and equipment costs to distinguish revenue from profit.
UNDERSTANDING THE TECHNOLOGY
The specifications behind your machine.
We explain how to read manufacturer specifications and apply them to your location. Electrical requirements and clearances always depend on the specific model.

- Machine type & footprint
- Countertop or floor-standing design, dimensions, load-bearing capacity and access for cleaning and servicing.
- Power & cooling

- One flavour or two flavours plus twist; the twist outlet combines the two available flavours.
- Mix supply & consistency
- Gravity and pump systems, overrun and compatibility with your chosen ingredients.
- Production & peak demand
- Understand kilograms, litres and portions. Machine output does not equal the number of fully prepared bowls.
- Hygiene & maintenance
