What does the facility actually use ice for?
Separate your beverage station from bulk draws. Include displays or cooler fills where relevant. Record each task and its timing. Your business label alone does not size equipment. A daily total is useful. A peak collection pattern adds needed context. Bring both to the site evaluation.
Your operation may have several departments sharing storage. Ask each team to describe its draws. Note which ones happen together. Keep a clear boundary between measured use and estimates. Your equipment discussion should explain that distinction. Do not apply an unrelated calculator rate to the full facility.
