Zaraffa's Coffee

Overview

Zaraffa's Coffee are a Queensland based coffee franchise which has seen rapid growth in its first 5 years of operation. During this time they opened in excess of 40 stores and are looking to expand further into other states. They are primarily a coffee shop which also specialises in cold coffee drinks. In the warmer regions this is proving very successful with cold lattes and frappes. The venues use Hoshizaki cubed ice machines from the IM range. Our 21mm cube is the preferred size as it creates no problems with the blender.

Problem/Issue

Zaraffa's success in the cold drinks area quickly showed that they would need more ice than originally anticipated.

Solution

The solution was to work with the store designer to have them allow a slightly larger area for the ice machines in all new store layouts so that they could accommodate a larger IM unit. The IM240LE-21 ice maker can produce up to 210kg of ice per 24 hours and store up to 110kg. These are now the standard model for all future store fit outs.

Results

Stores now have the ability to produce 210kg of Hoshizaki cubed ice and store 110kg which means adequate quantities of ice even during their peak periods.

Hoshizaki Ice Machines product crystal clear hard ice that lasts longer in drinks, a perfect marriage to the quality of Zaraffa's products.
