Evaluation

What your business needs to evaluate.

Cold drinks and frappés

Slush machines and milkshake makers expand the menu beyond hot coffee.

Complementary desserts

Soft serve, frozen yogurt and small display cases add ticket without crowding space.

Countertop equipment

Compact machines that coexist with the coffee bar and require no remodel.

Season-adaptable

Machines that work year-round, switching between cold formats and drinks.

Sector insight

Cafés grow their average ticket by going cold

Consumer behavior studies in Mexican cafés show that adding 2-3 SKUs of frozen desserts and cold drinks raises the average ticket between 18% and 25%, especially in evening hours and weekends.
