Thinking about adding soft serve or açaí, but worried about the overhead?
With SilverChef Rent-Try-Buy, adding a soft serve or açaí machine doesn’t have to mean a big upfront cost. Flexible weekly repayments mean you can test the menu, build demand, and upgrade or return the machine if it’s not the right fit.
In fact, based on typical pricing and costs, you could offset your weekly repayments with as little as 6 sales a day. Here’s how the numbers stack up
(Example only – pricing and costs will vary depending on machine and product.)
Soft Serve Starter Example
A commercial soft serve machine funded through SilverChef.
Weekly finance repayment: $203.08
Average cost of goods: $0.36 per serve
Typical sell price: $6.00 per serve
The profit breakdown
Selling 6 serves a day:
- Weekly revenue: $252.00
- Less cost of goods (42 x $0.36): –$15.12
- Estimated weekly gross profit: $236.88
That’s enough to cover your weekly repayment — with room to grow as volume increases.
Introductory product offers may be available, giving you extra upside during peak trading periods.
Açaí Starter Example
The same style of machine can also support açaí bowls, opening up a higher-value menu option.
Weekly finance repayment: $203.08
Average cost of goods (100g bowl): $1.60
Typical sell price: $16.00 per bowl
The profit breakdown
Selling 6 bowls a day:
- Weekly revenue: $672.00
- Less cost of goods (42 x $1.60): –$67.20
- Estimated weekly gross profit: $604.80
Açaí can significantly outpace repayments while boosting average transaction value.
Intro stock or supplier incentives may apply depending on product selection.
