Speak to a Frozen Beverage Movie Theater Specialist
Expanding concession stand offerings is one of the best ways for Movie Theaters to quickly increase revenue, but finding profitable menu items that customers love can be challenging. To fill this need, more and more Movie Theaters are turning to frozen beverages because of fast-growing demand, high profit margins, small footprint, and low maintenance.
With their growing popularity and versatility, frozen beverages are the perfect concession stand item to generate more sales, without the need to install lots of large, expensive equipment. Because price points are regulated inside Movie Theaters, you can easily generate up to 120% profit margins with a Frozen Beverage Program due to simple ingredients and a low cost of ownership. Your frozen beverage program can pay for itself in a matter of months, and everything after that is nearly pure profit.
Unfortunately, not all Frozen Beverage Programs offer the high ROI that Movie Theaters seek.
When considering which Frozen Beverage Program to invest in, many quick serve restaurants owners are attracted to lower-priced options.
However, there are many hidden costs that must be considered if your objective is to maximize profits.
As you can see, making a decision based solely on up-front pricing is often misleading. Lower-priced options bring many headaches and additional costs that ultimately erode your profitability.
Investing slightly more into a high-quality Frozen Beverage Program results in maximum uptime, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
Lower quality frozen beverage dispensers are more difficult to operate, which requires additional training that adds to your labor costs and decreases profit margins.
Lower quality dispensers require frequent cleaning and maintenance that can result in hours of downtime per week. Not only is your equipment unable to produce beverages to sell during this downtime, but even more training is required to teach employees to perform this maintenance correctly.
Failing to properly maintain lower quality dispensers compromises their ability to pour a high-quality beverage, and reduces equipment lifespan. When popular beverages are unavailable due to equipment failures, or beverage quality decreases, customer satisfaction decreases as well. This eventually leads to lower sales long-term.
Because of their lower-quality parts and construction, cheaper dispensers not only require more maintenance, but they also need to be completely replaced more frequently. Any cost savings are erased when you are forced to buy new equipment every few years.
Minimal maintenance. No weekly dismantling. Zero interruption.
Our #1 priority is ensuring your convenience stores generate the maximum profits possible. To achieve this goal, our Frozen Beverage Programs feature the following:
Commercial frozen drink dispensers require minimal ingredients and have the potential to create a highly profitable product offering. Slush and granita drinks are primarily comprised of water, cutting costs on more expensive ingredients, such as dairy products.
Frozen carbonated drinks provide even higher profits as they are comprised of 40% water, 50% CO2 and 10% syrup.
The simple ingredients that go into preparing frozen beverages allow your convenience stores to achieve gross profits of up to 120%.
Training: Our dispensers are easy to operate, requiring less training than other dispensers on the market, lowering your overall labor costs.
Cleaning and Maintenance: The use of a closed-sealed system in conjunction with bag- in-the-box technology (BIB) means you do not have to take your dispensers apart to clean. Your store staff can save hours of cleaning time compared to other equipment options. This allows you to provide your customers consistently high drink quality with equipment designed for maximum uptime.
Longevity: FBD dispensers are engineered for low maintenance and longevity. FBD's built-to-order dispensers deliver high-quality frozen beverages throughout their 10-year life-span. That is almost 3x as long as the average open bowl system, which is what many other equipment options rely on today.
When you take all of these factors into consideration, it is clear how FBD is able to offer the lowest total cost of ownership in the entire industry.
