Gelato in your venue. Leave the making to us.

A large machine. Large possibilities.

GELADORO Station is designed for venues that want to offer gelato as a product in its own right and make it a fully fledged part of their business.

With automatic dispensing, built-in cooling and intuitive controls, the unit can be run without employing a dedicated gelato maker. Customers choose their portion, pick their extras and pay at the operator's till.

The large machine also allows eye-catching visual design and prominent GELADORO branding. A standalone sales point can be not only a source of revenue but also a feature that draws customers' attention and broadens the offer of the whole venue.

Two partnership models

1. 01Buy your own unitFor operators who want their own equipment and wish to build a gelato business for the long term, we offer the option to purchase the unit. We also provide mix supplies, training and expert support. We offer a subsidised price on the unit with a discount of up to 5,000 EUR off the standard list price, provided you use the GELADORO brand and commit to buying our gelato mixes for at least 12 months of operation.
2. 02Shared GELADORO Station operationFor suitable locations we also offer a partnership model based on a loan of the unit. GELADORO provides the machine and supplies premium mixes. The Partner provides a suitable location, handles day-to-day operation and sells the gelato through its own terminal. This model is intended mainly for operators who have an attractive location and want to extend their offer without buying their own equipment.

How does GELADORO Station work?

1. We provide the unit and install it. Delivery, installation, basic staff training and ongoing expert support.
2. We supply premium GELADORO mixes. The Partner orders mixes under the agreed terms. One pack makes approximately 60 portions of 90 g.
3. The Partner handles day-to-day operation. Tops up mix, cups, spoons, sprinkles and toppings. Carries out basic cleaning and routine maintenance according to the operating instructions.
4. The customer chooses their gelato. The base is a portion of premium GELADORO gelato, which can be finished with sprinkles and toppings. Payment goes through the operator's till system.
5. The operator gains extra revenue. Gelato can bring in new customers, broaden the refreshment offer and create another sales opportunity within the existing operation.

Business model: clear rules, predictable deliveries

We build shared GELADORO Station operation on long-term partnership. The Partner gains the use of the unit, and we need to ensure regular orders of mix and meaningful use of the installed equipment.

The agreed minimum order is 20 packs of mix per month. With a yield of roughly 60 portions per pack, that is approximately 1,200 portions of gelato a month, approximately 40 portions a day in a thirty-day month, and a minimum monthly mix order worth 17,800 CZK excl. VAT.

If the Partner does not take the agreed quantity in a given month, a contractual compensation of 490 CZK excl. VAT will be charged for each pack not taken. Example: if 8 of the required 20 packs are taken, compensation for the 12 missing packs is 5,880 CZK excl. VAT. With no order at all, compensation is 9,800 CZK excl. VAT.

Specific partnership terms, the method of assessing orders and the billing of compensation will be set out in the contract.

What can GELADORO Station earn?

The economics of the concept rest on selling the gelato itself combined with add-on sales of sprinkles and toppings. For the sample calculation we assume the following sales mix:

Product	Share of sales	Price incl. VAT
Gelato 90 g	20%	69 CZK
Gelato + sprinkles	30%	79 CZK
Gelato + sprinkles + topping	50%	89 CZK

With this mix, the average selling price comes to 82 CZK incl. VAT per portion.

The economics also include:

• GELADORO mix at 890 CZK excl. VAT per pack (capacity of approximately 60 portions),
• a cup with spoon at 3.30 CZK excl. VAT,
• an estimated sprinkles cost of 2 CZK excl. VAT per portion,
• an estimated topping cost of 3 CZK excl. VAT per portion,
• space rental and electricity totalling 5,000 CZK a month,
• contractual compensation of 490 CZK excl. VAT for each pack not taken from the minimum monthly commitment of 20 packs.

All selling prices include 12% VAT. All purchase and operating costs are calculated excluding VAT.

The estimated costs of sprinkles and toppings are sample values. Actual costs will depend on the type, weight and purchase price of each extra.

Example 1Selling 500 portions a month

This model shows the economics of operation when selling 500 portions a month, or roughly 17 portions a day.

Monthly economics	Amount
Takings incl. VAT	41,000 CZK
Takings excl. VAT at 12%	36,607 CZK
Cost of 9 packs of mix	−8,010 CZK
Cost of 500 cups with spoons	−1,650 CZK
Cost of sprinkles	−800 CZK
Cost of toppings	−750 CZK
Compensation for 11 packs not taken	−5,390 CZK
Space rental and electricity	−5,000 CZK
Remaining before other operating costs	15,007 CZK

Selling roughly 17 portions a day, GELADORO Station can make a worthwhile contribution to the venue's economics.

Nine packs taken give a capacity of approximately 540 portions. After selling 500 portions, some mix remains in stock for the next period.

This amount is not net profit. It does not include, for example, staff time, servicing, possible wastage or other venue costs.

Example 2Where is break-even?

With a base price of 69 CZK for gelato alone, add-on sales of sprinkles and toppings, and space and electricity costs included, the approximate break-even point is around 9 portions a day.

The calculation is based on a sample average selling price of 82 CZK per portion with the sales mix shown above.

At this level of sales, the costs of mix, consumables, compensation for packs not taken and basic operating costs are roughly covered.

Average daily sales	Approximate monthly result
6 portions a day	−3,973 CZK
9 portions a day	+1,240 CZK
10 portions a day	+3,244 CZK
15 portions a day	+12,066 CZK
20 portions a day	+21,289 CZK

Amounts show an approximate balance after deducting mix, cups, sprinkles, toppings, compensation and space and electricity costs.

The calculation assumes 30 trading days a month, orders of whole packs of mix and compensation of 490 CZK for each pack not taken from the minimum commitment of 20 packs a month. The number of packs taken adjusts to actual sales.

The result does not include other operating costs. Break-even is not a business target. For an operation that is worthwhile in the long run, we recommend planning for considerably higher sales.

Example 3What can one season bring?

For a sample season from mid April to mid September we assume five months of operation, roughly 150 days, with average sales of 39 portions a day.

Indicator	Season model
Portions sold	5,850
Average selling price incl. VAT	82 CZK
Takings incl. VAT	479,700 CZK
Takings excl. VAT at 12%	428,304 CZK
Cost of 100 packs of mix	−89,000 CZK
Cost of cups with spoons	−19,305 CZK
Cost of sprinkles	−9,360 CZK
Cost of toppings	−8,775 CZK
Space rental and electricity	−25,000 CZK
Remaining before other operating costs	276,864 CZK

Under this model, a venue can generate roughly 277,000 CZK in one season before other operating costs.

One hundred packs of mix give a capacity of approximately 6,000 portions. After selling 5,850 portions, some mix remains in stock for the next period.

This is a sample scenario, not a promise of specific earnings. The actual result will depend mainly on footfall, season length, selling price, operating costs and the ability to maintain steady sales.

What do we provide as part of the partnership?

• Delivery and installation of the unit at the agreed location
• Loan of the unit under the contract terms
• Basic staff training
• Supplies of premium GELADORO mixes
• Expert support and consultation
• Clearly defined business terms

The Partner provides a suitable location, day-to-day operation of the unit, topping up mix and consumables, basic cleaning and sales through its own till.
