For some time now, the cost of ice packs has skyrocketed. Not only are they more expensive than ever, but we often find that there are shortages in major retailers, and those that are available are not always of the best quality.

From ITV we are going to tell you about the advantages of having your own ice machine, a series of benefits that will improve your everyday life.

Ice Making Machine vs Bagged Ice

Nowadays the reputation of a business is more important than ever, and any review remains for posterity, whether in Google profiles or social networks. That is why good customer service must always be impeccable, especially in the restaurant business. Let’s take a look at some of the advantages of an ice maker versus bagged ice.

A Sustainable Decision

One of the advantages of having an industrial ice machine is that our business will significantly reduce waste production, since bagged ice is a huge waste of plastics. In addition, we eliminate from the equation the pollution associated with transportation, because we will be producing the ice in situ, with the convenience that this brings.

Commitment to Health

If you have consumed bagged ice, you will know that it is not always made with the best quality water. Many businesses make this mistake, compromising the quality of their services with poor quality ice, which crumbles easily and leaves its taste in the products. An industrial ice machine makes ice cubes with filtered and treated water, providing a clean and, most importantly, safe product for customers.

Benefits of having your own ice machine (versus ice bags)

A Smart Investment

At first glance it may seem that bagged ice is the more economical of the two options, since we will avoid the initial outlay of an industrial ice maker. However, if we measure over the long term, we will see that it is, in fact, the most economical option. In addition to the convenience it offers, the ice maker will save us travel expenses, avoid wasting unused ice, and enhance the quality of our product, and therefore, our income.

Business Convenience

With an ice maker, we can forget about managing inventories, making overly generous forecasts to avoid running out of supplies, and in general, avoid worries. With an ice machine you gain in comfort and make the day-to-day processes much easier, taking unnecessary processes away from the team and helping them to focus on what is most important: taking care of and providing quality service to customers.

In short, an ice maker is an option that has a positive impact on our economy, our service and, above all, on our human team. Choosing an ice machine is an investment with many long-term advantages.
