A Slush Machine Can Provide A Lot Of Extra Profit In Many Stores

If you run a retail shop you may find that you can make a lot of extra profit by installing a slush machine. However, it has to be said that they are not suitable for all types of retail outlet. You need to have a reasonable amount of steady foot traffic, so a slush machine won’t make much money in a furniture store. Certainly, there is foot traffic there, but it is intermittent and there will be times when you have no-one in the shop at all.

However, slush syrup for sale in a convenience store or a newsagent’s is ideal, and you can make a lot of sales in a very short space of time. At school-out time, for instance, children are going to come into the newsagents in large groups to buy sweets and other items, and if you have slush syrup for sale in a machine on the counter or by the door they will see it and they will buy it. Once the first child has bought a drink, more will follow. This is why you need a machine that is big enough to handle a lot of purchases in a short space of time, because if you don’t they won’t wait around while you refill the machine and then wait for the machine to freeze the drinks.

This is another reason why it is a good idea to keep topping the machine up during the day because if you run it under the minimum level there could be damage to the moving parts, and not only that, the machines run more efficiently when full.

It is important to keep the machine clean. Having slush syrup for sale comes under the same laws as serving food, so the machine should be cleaned at least once a week. Other than that, apart from mixing the drinks and topping up there is very little else to do. When you consider that you can make as much as 85% profit serving slush, and the very small counter space the machine takes up, it is well worth installing a machine for all that extra “juicy” profit.
