Estimate My Ice

How many different ice jobs does your store have?

Separate your fountain drinks from packaged ice. Add salad or seafood display use. Note which tasks share equipment. Your display fill and fountain rush may overlap. Record the largest draw from storage. Include the time of each refill. Your machine plan needs the full mix of jobs.

Compare half cube equipment for your beverage discussion. Consider flake for loose display coverage. A high-volume modular setup may suit larger demand. Your storage needs should be reviewed with production. Keep the desired shape beside each task. Ask which proposed machine handles that use.

Which numbers belong in your starting estimate?

Your fountain rate varies with cup size. Use 5 oz for a 7 to 12 oz cup. Use 8 oz for a 12 to 16 oz cup. Use 12 oz for a 16 to 24 oz cup. A cold plate adds 45 percent per day. Choose the matching calculator inputs. Your source: Hoshizaki Ice Machine Sizing Guide.

For your packaged ice, use 10 lb per bag sold daily. Your supermarket display fill has different rates. Cubed ice uses 32 lb per cubic foot. Flaked ice uses 27 lb per cubic foot. Keep display dimensions and refill patterns with those figures. Review the uses separately before combining them. Your source: Hoshizaki Ice Machine Sizing Guide.

How should you prepare the equipment area?

Your display or fountain equipment needs a shape check. Ask whether the proposed ice suits the station. Measure the machine and bin area. Locate the water line, shutoff and drain. Identify dedicated electrical power. Your evaluation also checks airflow and access for routine service.

Your machine’s cleaning schedule comes from its manufacturer. Keep care records with the model details. Rental includes routine cleaning and sanitizing. It also includes maintenance and repairs. Tell your team how to report a change. Note whether it affects the fountain supply, display use or packaged ice work.

Your store records should distinguish initial display fill from later top-ups. Note the ice form used for each figure. Keep bag sales and fountain cups outside that display total. Your site review can then examine the separate tasks. Ask how the proposed production and storage arrangement supports the mix, especially when staff refill several uses together.

A little clarity

Your store questions, answered.

How does cup size affect the estimate?

Your cup size changes the planning rate. Choose small, medium or large in the tool. Include a cold plate if your station uses one.

Can I estimate bags sold each day?

Yes, choose packaged ice in your calculator. Enter the daily bag count. The published rate assumes the stated bag size.

Can I discuss display ice too?

Yes, describe your display and refill pattern. Your drink estimate does not include that use. We review it separately with you.

Is display fill part of the fountain calculation?

No, keep your display needs separate. Record its dimensions and refill pattern. Your chosen ice form changes the display planning rate.

Should I include every fountain cup size?

Record your sales by cup size. Each range uses a different ice rate. Bring the separate estimates to the equipment review.
