Choosing the right gastronorm trays

Stainless steel gastronorm trays: a must when opening an ice cream parlour

When you decide to open an ice cream parlour, it's essential to select the right equipment. Stainless steel gastronorm trays for ice cream parlors are particularly useful for storing and serving ice cream. They should be placed in a freezer or display cabinet that maintains the temperature at less than -18°C.

Advantages of stainless steel gastronorm trays

Stainless steel gastronorm trays have the advantage of being sturdy and resistant to thermal shock, which is very important for ice cream preservation. They are also easy to clean and maintain, thanks to their non-stick properties. Finally, they offer good thermal insulation and protect food from external influences.

How to choose the right containers?

To choose the right stainless steel gastronorm bins, you need to consider a number of criteria: the size of the bins (depending on the type of products you wish to store), the quality of the material (18/10 stainless steel) and the price. Take the time to compare the different types of products to find the one that best suits your needs.

Choosing an ice-cream display

One of the key elements is the refrigerated display unit used to store and display products for sale.

The advantages of a refrigerated display unit

The refrigerated display case is the ideal tool for storing and displaying your ice creams. It maintains a constant temperature, enabling products to stay fresher longer while retaining their original texture and taste.

Static vs. ventilated refrigeration

Depending on the type of product you wish to sell, you'll need to choose between a static cold display or a ventilated cold display. In static-cold displays, air does not circulate and the temperature is constant throughout. Products are displayed on trays without ventilation. Ventilated-cold displays have built-in ventilation to ensure more uniform temperature and humidity conditions, thus guaranteeing optimum product quality. This type of display is best suited to ice-cream parlors with a high concentration of visitors.

Ice cream display design

Design is another factor to consider when choosing a display unit for your ice cream shop. Customers entering your store should be attracted by the design of the counter and feel invited to discover the products on offer. Bright colors and interesting shapes can encourage customers to buy more products.

Choosing the right refrigerated display unit is essential to ensure the quality of your ice cream products and customer satisfaction.

How to choose the right ice cream maker?

When you open an ice cream parlour, the choice of equipment is essential to the success of your business. The ice cream maker is one of the most important pieces of equipment you'll need to buy. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right ice cream maker and open your ice cream parlour successfully.

Identifying your needs

Before you start looking for an ice cream maker, we suggest you identify your needs in terms of capacity and accessories. If you don't yet have a freezer, then opt for an ice cream maker that includes a built-in cooling system. If not, you can opt for a less expensive version without built-in cooling. Also consider the accessories you wish to use (ice cream bowls, ice cream molds, etc.).

Check product quality and reliability

Don't forget to consider the quality and reliability of the product you're buying. Make sure that the ice cream maker is manufactured by a well-known and respected brand, and that it comes with a sufficient warranty to ensure that it works properly for the duration of your trade.

Find a good quality/price ratio

Price is always an important factor when it comes to choosing an ice cream maker. Don't overlook this criterion, and make sure you get good value for money by comparing the different models on the market.

Where to buy quality products?

A good way to find the right equipment and products for your business is to turn to a specialized professional. You'll find all the equipment you need for your business, from food products to utensils and equipment, as well as the machinery required for the manufacturing process.

The retailer

You can also buy your products from a retailer. This type of supplier generally offers a wide range of food products and other catering-related items. It may be more advantageous to buy in large quantities from this type of supplier, especially if you wish to reduce the costs involved in opening and running an ice cream parlour.
