Businesses can expand their beverage offerings by using frozen drink machines to serve a variety of frozen or chilled drinks. Today we will take a look at tips for purchasing a Frozen Beverage Dispenser.

Step One: First you will want to figure out what you plan to serve using your new frozen drink machine. Depending on the type of beverage you will be serving will help you determine what machine will work best. If your menu requirements include alcoholic beverages or dairy, you will need to start by looking for a machine that is approved to serve those ingredients. A Granita machine is going to be your best bet if your menu consists of frozen alcoholic beverages and iced coffees.

Step Two: Next you will want to calculate your daily servings. This will help you choose a machine that can keep up with your operation during high peak times. This can be done by calculating your hourly volume requirements or by estimating the maximum amount of product you expect to sell.

Step Three: Frozen drink machines do require space and installation. It is important you figure out a plan before purchasing your new frozen beverage dispenser. Depending on how much product you intend to serve will determine how much space you will need to reserve for your frozen beverage dispenser.

Step Four: Last but not least, determine if there are any special features you would like your frozen machine to come with. Some frozen drink dispensers are made to offer a number of functions that enhance both the dispenser's usability and the consistency and quality of your product.
