If I asked you what every gelato shop needed in order to succeed, you’d probably quick to tell me the answer was, “gelato.” Fair enough. Your shop definitely won’t get off the ground without the actual treat it’s selling. That being said, it takes more than just some good Italian ice cream to see healthy revenues every year. Without the right ice cream shop supplies, you may attract customers, but you won’t keep them.
The supplies you use say a lot about your shop. They tell your customers what you think of them and how much you really respect them. It shows them how far you’ll go to keep their business. If you use cheap, shoddy supplies, you’re telling them that you keep them for granted.
Your gelato cups should be made from high-quality materials and sturdy. You don’t want the gelato seeping through, nor do you want your customers getting cold hands. Every serving needs a cup, meaning every time you have a customer, you also have the chance to impress or repel them.
Of course, the same goes for spoons. If you try cutting corners and buy spoons made from lesser plastic, it can actually affect the taste of your amazing gelato. So go the extra mile here and expect your customers to appreciate the extra effort.
