Best Soft Serve Machine for Your Business: A Simple Guide to Choosing the Right One

Thinking of adding soft serve ice cream to your menu? Whether you run a café, sweet shop, petrol station, or convenience store, choosing the right machine makes a big difference. At Absolute Drinks, we have three soft serve machines, and each one suits a different kind of business. Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the one that’s right for you.

The Slimline, Small and Simple

The Slimline is perfect if you don’t have much space but still want to offer soft serve. It’s great for shops, dessert counters, and catering vans that want to offer cones, tubs, or use it for desserts.

This machine is just 38cm wide, so it fits into tight spots. It has one 10-litre mix hopper and easy digital controls so you can see what’s going on at a glance. It also uses less energy, thanks to a fast freeze system that helps you serve more without high running costs.

If you want a simple, reliable machine that doesn’t take up much room, the Slimline is a great choice.

The Ultra, Two Flavours and Milkshakes

If you want to serve more than one flavour, or even make milkshakes, the Ultra is the machine for you. It’s ideal for cafés, dessert shops or restaurants that want to offer a bit more.

The Ultra has two 6.5-litre mix hoppers, so you can serve two flavours or a swirl of both. It also works with milkshake attachments, giving you more ways to use it. The fast freeze system helps during busy times, and the digital display makes it easy to use.

It’s 43cm wide and fits on most counters. If you want more choice for your customers and extra menu options, the Ultra is a smart upgrade.

The Freestanding – Easy Self-Serve

Want a machine that customers can use themselves? The Freestanding model is made for exactly that. It’s great for petrol stations, dessert bars, or busy shops that want a self-serve setup.

This tall, slim machine stands on its own and has three handles: one for each flavour and one for a swirl. It has two large 12-litre mix hoppers and can serve up to 300 cones per hour. It also has a low mix warning light so you know when it needs topping up. The digital screen is easy to use, and the fast freeze keeps things running smoothly even when it’s busy.

If you want a no-fuss, high-speed self-serve option, the Freestanding is perfect.
