Your smoothie bar’s success relies on your customers having the same experience each time they order a smoothie. By this, I mean a nutritious, fresh smoothie that is at peak sweetness and flavor every time it’s ordered. With a turnkey dispensing system, your drinks are made to precise recipe specifications every single time!
By choosing a turnkey smoothie system, you can enjoy the following benefits:
• Controlled Cost: Controlling your drink cost is a science, not an art. The key to failure or success is in your profitability. A turnkey smoothie program relies on a system, not a “production artist” to create your smoothies. With most smoothie concepts, the employee, rather than the system, controls your costs. This type of program can cost you 30 to 40 cents more to deliver each drink. If sales are 100 drinks per day that could amount to wasting $40 each day – then, multiply that by the number of times a week; times a year, etc… Hopefully you’re getting the message!
• Consistency: Drinks should taste the same every time. You don’t go to Starbucks only on a Tuesday because you know “John” is working that day and he always makes a great Latte! You know before you go to Starbucks – at anytime – your drink of choice will always taste the same. That concept is the same with a controlled delivery smoothie system. With a turnkey smoothie system, a smoothie made on Monday afternoon should be the same as a smoothie made on Friday morning. A smoothie made in San Francisco should be the same as one made in Atlanta.
• Labor Savings: There are very little staffing issues with which to deal. Finding a great staff is very difficult. Spending valuable time with excessive training to teach multiple-step operations, and high employee turnover can be minimized because with a turnkey smoothie system, training is simple. There are no recipes to memorize, and preparation and clean up are almost non-existent. The most efficient blending systems can be created with just the touch of a finger. In seconds you can be ready to pour and serve! This leaves your staff better able to focus on taking care of your valuable members while the system creates the drinks!
Consider a turnkey smoothie system for your club, it makes sense… and, it makes cents.
