Explore our expert guides on buying commercial ice cream machines, from choosing the right capacity to comparing features, costs and maintenance. Find practical advice to help you select the best slush machine for your business.
The best machine depends on your expected footfall, peak demand, available space, menu and budget. A compact gravity-fed machine may suit a café, pub or restaurant adding soft serve to an existing menu, while a higher-output machine may be more appropriate for a busy dessert shop, leisure venue, cinema or attraction. Beverage Genius can assess your requirements and recommend the most suitable machine for your business.
A commercial soft serve ice cream machine can create a valuable additional revenue stream with a relatively low ingredient cost per portion. Soft serve is quick to prepare and can be sold on its own or used in sundaes, milkshakes, waffles, brownies and other desserts. Profitability will depend on your selling price, portion cost, customer footfall and number of servings sold.
Your potential profit depends on how many portions you sell and the price you charge. A typical serving may cost approximately £0.40 to £0.70 for the ice cream mix and cone or cup, with selling prices commonly ranging from £2.50 to £4.00. This could provide an estimated gross profit of approximately £1.80 to £3.30 per serving before other business costs.
Beverage Genius supplies commercial soft serve machines from Gel Matic, Ugolini and SPM. All manufacturers produce machines designed for regular commercial use, with options available for different serving volumes, site sizes and business requirements.
Ugolini machines can be a practical option for businesses that need a compact, straightforward soft serve solution for moderate demand. Gel Matic offers machines suited to a wider range of commercial applications, including high-volume sites that require faster recovery and consistent performance during busy periods. Our team can help you compare the available models and select the right machine for your expected sales.

Gravity-fed machines are generally simpler to operate, easier to clean and more affordable, making them suitable for smaller businesses or sites with moderate demand. Pump-fed machines can produce a lighter, more aerated product and improve the number of portions obtained from the mix. They are often better suited to high-volume businesses where soft serve is a major part of the menu.
A single-flavour machine is suitable for businesses that want to offer one core soft serve product while keeping operation simple. A twin-flavour machine lets you serve two separate flavours and, on compatible models, a mixed twist. This can provide more customer choice and may be better suited to dessert-led or high-footfall businesses.
Output varies between models and depends on factors such as freezing-cylinder capacity, hopper size and recovery speed. Your average daily sales are important, but you should also consider how many portions you may need to serve during your busiest period. Beverage Genius can recommend a machine that is appropriately sized for both your normal trade and peak demand.
