Ice affects drink dilution, serving consistency, storage needs, and the flow of the counter. Treat it as a core ingredient when planning equipment.
Record the ice portion for each cup size and recipe. Combine those portions with a realistic service forecast, then account for preparation needs and operational losses. Use measured portions rather than an assumed scoop weight.
Look at the busiest service window as well as the daily total. Production and storage need to support the pattern of demand, not just a daily average.
An ice machine’s quoted production depends on specified conditions. Ask how room temperature, incoming water, ventilation, and installation affect the proposed model.
Confirm the ice shape, storage capacity, water connection, drainage, filtration recommendations, access for cleaning, and service support. Have installation requirements reviewed before purchasing.
Place the ice station where it supports assembly while fitting your handling and cleaning procedures. Identify where scoops belong and how the team will keep the area organized.
Keep a contingency plan for equipment downtime. Any alternative supply should fit your operating requirements and the ice format used in your recipes.
Use current supplier instructions and the specifications of your actual equipment. For product compatibility, parts, or a supply quote, contact sales@milkteallc.com.

Let the layers shine
Clear takeaway cups for layered drinks and generous ice. Confirm rim diameter and temperature suitability before selecting lids or film.

Measure what matters
A countertop scale for tea, syrups and recipe testing. Verify resolution, maximum load and whether a separate scale is needed for larger batches.

Packaging is part of the drink system. Cup size affects the recipe, film affects the seal, and straw dimensions affect how easily customers can enjoy the topping.
