Step by step
How to start a slushie business
Six steps from idea to the first cup.
1. Pick the spot
Put the machine where customers see it. Colour in the bowl sells the drink.
2. Choose the bowls
One bowl per flavour. Most venues start with two or three bowls.
3. Check power and space
Slushie machines need a power point and air flow around the unit. Check the counter depth before you order.
4. Choose the flavours
Pick from our slushie mix range or ask for a custom flavour.
5. Brand the cup
Use custom-printed cups so every drink carries your name.
6. Set the price and open
Keep it simple: one price per cup size. We show your team how to run and clean the machine.
