The Negotiation Process for Soft Ice Cream Vending Machine
The client is a commercial operator of pedestrian shopping streets in France. These areas attract large numbers of tourists and local young people, driving strong demand for ice cream during the summer. Traditional staffed ice cream shops face limitations regarding operating hours and high labor costs. The client initiated an inquiry after finding self-service ice cream equipment via Google. Based on their requirements, we recommended our self service ice cream vending machine and presented a detailed proposal tailored to the operating environment of the French market. Following in-depth discussions, the client ultimately purchased 3 smart ice cream vending machines.

Customer Feedback on Softy Ice Cream Vending Machine
- Rapid Cup Dispensing: It takes just 15–20 seconds to produce a single serving of ice cream, with a consistent portion size of 80–100g. Operating 3 automatic ice cream vending machines simultaneously allows the system to handle high-volume, simultaneous orders from tourists. It effectively alleviates queues during the peak summer season and significantly enhancing the customer experience.
- Unmanned Operation: Compared to traditional ice cream shops that require dedicated staff for preparation and sales, these softy vending machines drastically reduce labor requirements. Staff need only replenish ingredients and check equipment status periodically, enabling easier management of multiple sales locations.
- High-Capacity Cup Storage: The cup holder accommodates 250 paper cups at once (arranged in five stacks of 50). A full day of operation requires restocking cups only once or twice, significantly reducing the workload associated with frequent restocking trips.
