FAQ


Essential items include dipping cabinets or display freezers, topping dispensers, prep counters, sinks, and commercial refrigeration. Front-of-house furnishings and signage also play a key role in customer experience.


While not required, commercial-grade furniture that is easy to clean and withstands high traffic is ideal. Outdoor seating, wipeable surfaces, and durable signage can enhance your shop’s appeal and efficiency.


Standard freezers run around 0°F, which is too warm for holding ice cream at proper serving consistency. Ice cream should be stored between -10°F and -20°F to maintain texture and prevent melting. Commercial ice cream freezers are built to hold these colder temps and withstand frequent use in service settings.


A dipping cabinet is used to serve hand-scooped ice cream directly from the unit. A display freezer typically stores pre-packaged frozen items and is not ideal for scooping.
