Ice machine in the Bar

THE IMPACT OF ICE

In the bar industry, ice is essential. It’s used to mix cocktails, chill champagne and keep white wine cool. Along with refreshing customers’ drinks, ice is crucial for keeping perishable products fresh and flavorful.

 

When making decisions about ice machines for a bar, operators should keep the following things in mind:

 

LOCATION

No matter where they’re located, ice machines have their place in every bar. Some ice machines are placed in the back of the house, and others are located underneath the bar for optimal efficiency.

 

For bars that serve everything from coffee to cocktails, an under counter ice machine that produces clear, slow-melting cubes is the perfect fit. For a popular bar located in a downtown area, a modular machine with a large bin will provide the ice needed throughout the day.

 

THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE

 

EFFICIENCY

When bar owners are selecting new ice machines or replacing existing ones, they should look at the machine’s overall efficiency. What are its cleaning capabilities? Is it energy efficient? What does routine service look like?
