Free Standing Flavor Stations

We talk a lot about Snowie equipment and the difference the quality, the reliability, and the speed makes when you are running a shaved ice business. Speed is especially a factor when you are operating in venues where you have a constant line from a constant mass of people. It is also critical in venues like arenas where you have specific time periods where the whole stadium wants a treat at the same time.

We frequently speak about our shavers when we reference this kind of speed. Making a shaved ice every three seconds is certainly something to brag about, and we do! But what if you don’t take advantage of that on the backend? Meaning, what if you make a shaved ice that quick, but you still take a full minute or two pouring on the flavors for each customer? If that is the case, you completely voided the advantage that ice shaver gave you. That is precisely why we created the flavor station. This one addition completely changed the experience for both you and the customer. For you, because now, once the customer pays, they are out of the line making their flavor decisions elsewhere. You literally added a few more seconds to the transaction by taking their money and that is it.

You no longer have to serve a customer that just spent all their time in line talking or scrolling on their phone and then finally making a decision when you speak with them. Now they can simply take their time, decide, and pour their shaved ice exactly how they desire. All without any further interaction with you!

The question that always comes to mind for most people is waste. In fact, nearly EVERYONE that we present the Flavor Station to is concerned about waste. It is correct thinking and generally commendable, but not in this scenario. It is critical for you to become familiar with the cost of making a shaved ice, the cost difference between good and bad flavors, the REAL cost of that difference, and the physics of shaved ice in a cup.  Let’s go through each of those.

First, the cost of your 16 ounce shaved ice if you are pouring the flavor on yourself, is approximately $0.16. That is sixteen cents in case you read it wrong! That is probably the very best markup you will ever experience in your entrepreneurial career!

Due to the physics of that shaved ice, If you handed that product out the door and let them pour flavor on it until it started running over the top, that may cost you $0.18 instead. You can only fill a cup of snow with flavor so much, and it is not much more.

In fact, you are losing far more money by not using a flavor station than you will ever lose by using it. You have to calculate the time you spend with each customer and the number of customers you serve due to that time savings. A good way to look at this is, for every $25 you believe you are losing in waste, you have thrown away at least $500. I have to look at those numbers again, but I believe that was it, it may even be better.

Lastly, since we are discussing savings, it is important to note that the cost difference between our delicious, proven, amazing flavors and garbage flavors per shaved ice, is about $0.01 per shaved ice! That is a real number! Stop choosing garbage for flavors because it looks cheaper on the purchase. In fact, our flavors allow you to charge more for your shaved ice, because you can guarantee their return. Don’t risk serving them something that will cause them to never return. That is your biggest mistake!
