With the possibility of another global financial crisis looming over our heads once again, maybe it is time to rethink your soft serve machine implementation strategy? It is not just the price of the machine that you need to think about, but the cost accounting as well to find the real hidden costs, since it may or may not be viable to install a traditional soft serve.
Then there is the goodwill value of what you could serve from just one machine, so would it surprise you that One-Shot® OS6 and OS7 can serve a multitude of flavors? Don’t forget the no sanitizing required advantage (no more O-Rings, no more dasher blades and no more lubricants).
What we have here with One-Shot® is a an amazing machine that can still keep running 24/7, while consuming less than a 100-Watt light bulb, saving on your electricity bill as well. Remember that energy costs worldwide are rising and the electricity bill is not what it used to be (every penny counts).
Whatever you fancy! The One-Shot system is capable of dispensing a wide range of exciting ice cream flavors, which can include:
- Bubblegum
- Belgian Chocolate
- Chocolate Almond
- Chocolate Marshmallow
- Chocolate Fudge Brownie
- Choco-Chunk Swirl
- Black Cherry Delight
- Cookie Dough
- Cookies and Cream
- Cherry
- Coffee
- English Toffee Crunch
- German Chocolate Cake
- Praline Pecan
- Maple Walnut
- Macadamia Nut Brittle
- Neapolitan
- Rum Raisin
- Strawberry
- Strawberry Shortcake
- Rocky Road
- Swiss Caramel Surprise
- French Vanilla
- Vanilla Chocolate Fudge
- Vanilla Fudge Ripple
Plus much, much more!
(Please check with your local supplier in each country for flavor availability).
For our Canadian colleagues, you may have noticed the hype this summer from an amazing soft serve brand called Twirlees Ice Cream, which is having a lot of media attention. Did you know that you are now tasting some fantastic ice cream dispensed from a One-Shot® dispenser?
Because One-Shot® dispensers are so inexpensive, you can buy a lot of them for relatively little capital expenditure, making it comparably inexpensive to outfit a lot of outlets quickly. Why have a gradual rollout due to cost constraints? Why not grab market share quickly with the comparable cost advantage of One-Shot®?
Looking to serve traditional tart frozen yogurt? Would you like real fruit pieces as well with your frozen yogurt? No problem with the One-Shot® because this is what the system was designed for in mind, plus with our portion control advantage, you also have cost control to monitor for possible pilferage.
HydroStab™ Low Temperature Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt
Next is our new HydroStab™ technology and you can now dispense at temperatures as low as –24 degrees Centigrade (-11 degrees Fahrenheit), but equally you can dispense at temperatures as warm as -12 degrees Centigrade (10 degrees Fahrenheit). This gives you an ADTR (Active Dispenser Temperature Range) of 12 degrees Centigrade (20 degrees Fahrenheit); thus allowing for virtually all scenarios of real life in the industry.
Because the ice cream can be dispensed at freezer temperatures, this means that throughput is not controlled by the number of portions that can be stored inside a tempering cabinet as used to be the case.
HydroStab™ is all-natural, tasteless and colourless and allows us to produce an ice cream and other frozen desserts independently from the presence of proteins and fats! Overruns in excess of 200% are possible with this new paradigm of ice cream production.
Ice cream dairies can now produce frozen yogurts with live culture, pure fruit frozen dessert with no added sugar, zero fat products and much, much more. We are of course in expansion phase and we are in the process of signing up more dairies in strategic global locations.
So, when you see the One-Shot® brand on the dispenser, you can be sure of the product quality being dispensed!
One-Shot® is the exclusive licensee of HydroStab™ worldwide.
Soft Serve Machines – The Real Profit Story
Have you ever carried out a full calculation relating to the true total portion cost of operating a soft serve machine? It can be an interesting exercise, since the bottom line profit is not quite as simple as calculating difference between the cost of mix and your selling price. There are a multitude of hidden operational costs that are often ignored or simply unknown.
In the present day world, all costs need to be watched carefully. You should ask yourself if you can you afford to install a traditional soft serve machine? If your weekly volumes are not very high, would installing a traditional soft serve machine make you money or could you lose money?
Have you ever created a profit and loss calculation on all the variables? Here is a list of a few things to begin with:
- Equipment cost
- Energy consumption
- Heat emission
- Installation cost(s)
- Lost sales due to freeze-down time
- Sanitizing
- Special wiring (if needed)
- Service
- Spares
- Waste
Startling, is it not? We live in an era where money is tight and economic uncertainly makes understanding these costs an imperative. If you are intrigued about studying a comparison between One-Shot® and traditional liquid mix soft serve, we can sit down with you and discuss true cost accounting covering this.
One of our many marketing tools is our Excel based Kostamazin™ spread-sheets, allowing us to begin a preliminary cost accounting analysis of your application, which should thereafter be verified by your own cost accountant. It is always a good thing to know what your net profit really is for The Real Profit Story!
You can then also consider true portion costs when using our One-Shot® OS6 and OS7 dispenser models. Your own cost accountants will be astounded due to:
- Inexpensive range of dispensers
- No sanitizing
- Perfect cost control
- Energy consumption less than a 100w light bulb!
- What installation cost? Just plug-and-go!
- 110/220v connection – no special wiring
- Replacement service contracts offered
- Minimal spares (no O-Rings, lubricants or other such fiddly parts)
- What you buy is what you sell (no waste)
- 24/7 operation
One-Shot® versus soft serve: ask us about Kostamzin™ so that we can explore The Real Profit Story together using simple cost accounting. Maybe traditional soft serve is ideal for your application but for many applications and volumes levels it might not be as suitable.
