It’s hard to know where to put your budget when it comes to kitchen equipment. Between food costs, labor costs, cleaning supplies, linens, etc. your Operations Manager (or you if you are the Ops Manager or doing it yourself) is constantly managing product lines and budgets to try and improve profitability. Therefore, investing in new equipment that’s not actually broken can seem like a waste - but consider the benefits of a newer, more energy efficient ice machine!
Energy is a daily, recurring expense, and energy costs can spike over time! The base price of utilities is rising across the board, and as it continues to do so, your electric bill will increase. Depending on the company you use, you may also experience higher electricity bills in the summer, which is also most likely the time that your kitchen will need to increase its ice consumption.
We recommend a new Manitowoc ice machine to decrease your energy bills by 10% and your water bills by 25%. Over time, this efficiency means that the machine pays for itself. A new machine will also be faster, cleaner, and quicker to refill than an old, barely in service one. The ease for your staff combined with the savings in recurring monthly utility costs makes this a good investment to consider now, going into the warmest months of the year.
