What to look for in self-contained ice makers
Behind the bar can be a busy place where creativity meets efficiency. Ensuring a streamlined, high level of customer service is maintained is paramount to the success of any bar. At the same time, the ability to create decadent and unforgettable creations needs to be maintained.
Central to quality drinks and customer service is ice. The ice itself needs to uplift the drink and not dilute it, while the machine needs to work into the flow of the bar, being convenient and maintaining the streamlined nature of the space. Not all ice machines are created equal and there are a few things to consider when selecting yours to ensure you are finding the best fit for purpose machine you can.
Self-cleaning for ease of use
A proper cleaning and maintenance schedule can have a big impact on the quality of the ice, as well as your time. The inclusion of a self-cleaning, built-in spray system can save your team time at the end of each day while ensuring the quality of the ice is maintained at all times.
Designed to fit
Many ice machines require ventilation clearance around the sides and rear of the machine, limiting the placement in your bar space. By choosing a machine that has front and rear facing ventilation, you reduce the clearance to just 100mm and gain flexibility in your space, allowing you to streamline as you need to, rather than being dictated by your equipment.
Efficient in all conditions
Bars and restaurants can be hot spaces, particularly in the middle of summer in the heart of Australia. Ensuring your equipment is built to withstand high ambient temperatures will ensure ice keeps flowing all summer long, when you and your business need it the most, helping maintain your reputation with customers.
