FAQ
- Which sales make an ice cream parlour profitable?Separate scoops, sundaes, waffles, drinks, take-home tubs and delivery orders. Calculate contribution after ingredients, toppings, cups, platform fees, discounts and preparation time, then identify products that mainly create queue congestion.
- How seasonal is the parlour's cash flow?Review weekly sales against temperature, rainfall, school holidays and local events for at least two years. Test whether winter drinks, desserts or reduced staffing genuinely cover rent and other fixed costs.
- Which hygiene and allergen controls matter most?Inspect food-safety records covering dairy storage, scoop washing, machine cleaning, cross-contact and ingredient changes. Verify allergen information for cones, toppings and delivery orders, including procedures for staff questions and substitutions.
- How do I assess ice cream production and display equipment?Obtain ownership, age, capacity, service and breakdown records for batch freezers, pasteurisers, display cabinets and cold storage. Observe cleaning cycles and peak output, then price imminent repairs and refrigerant work.
- Can the premises support the parlour's operating demands?Check permitted use, extraction or ventilation, drainage, electrical capacity, outside seating and late-opening restrictions. Compare utility bills with equipment load and investigate landlord consent for installed machinery, signage and alterations.
- Will recipes, branding and supplier terms pass to me?List recipes, production methods, trademarks, social accounts, franchise rights and exclusive flavours included in the sale. Confirm key dairy, gelato-base and packaging suppliers will continue pricing, credit and territory arrangements.
