Step by step

01

Define the dessert menu

Plated gelato and sorbet, soft serve sundaes, semifreddo or a kids’ menu. The menu decides the machine.

02

Choose the machine

Countertop batch freezers make small, fresh batches for plating; soft serve suits high-volume or family dining.

03

Fit it into the kitchen

Check bench space, power and whether air- or water-cooled suits your kitchen ventilation.

04

Train the brigade

Recipe balancing for gelato and sorbet, and daily cleaning routines.

05

Present it

A display cabinet at the pass or front counter can add takeaway sales.

06

Keep it running

Preventive servicing and genuine parts nationwide.
