Frozen cocktails can do some things that shaken and stirred drinks can't: they evoke a sense of vacation, relaxation, and indulgence. With the growth of the craft cocktail movement, there has been a resurgence in frozen cocktails and their popularity is only increasing.
As a bar owner, convenience store manager or restaurant operator, you know there aren’t a lot of new things you can introduce that will have a significant impact. You need something that will set you apart from your competition, draw in customers, and increase profit margins. Frozen cocktails can offer you just that, yet many establishments don't take advantage of the trend because they think it's too time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.
This is where the 77X Series Frozen Cocktail Dispensers come in.
Introducing the 77X Series
The 77X Series is FBD’s answer to the growing demand for high-quality frozen cocktails that are both delicious and consistent. Designed with the needs of busy bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and entertainment venues in mind, the 77X Series simplifies the process of serving frozen cocktails, making it easier than ever to deliver premium beverages to your customers.
At the heart of the 77X Series is a commitment to consistency and efficiency. These dispensers are engineered to ensure that every cocktail you serve meets the highest standards of taste and texture, eliminating the common issues of variability and inconsistency that can occur with manual mixing. Whether you're serving a classic margarita or a trendy frozen creation, the 77X Series guarantees that each drink is perfectly mixed, perfectly chilled, and ready to serve at the push of a button.
Ease of use is another key feature of the 77X Series. The dispensers incorporate a closed-sealed system and Bag-in-Box (BIB) technology, which minimizes the need for regular maintenance and makes day-to-day operation straightforward. The intuitive controls and efficient design allow staff to serve drinks quickly, even during peak hours, ensuring that your service remains smooth and efficient.
Let's take a look at what makes the 77X Series the perfect choice for your establishment.
Perfect for High-Volume Venues
In high-traffic environments, where every second matters, you need equipment you can rely on to keep up with demand. The 77X Series Frozen Cocktail Dispensers are designed specifically for these busy settings, ensuring that you can serve a consistent stream of customers without missing a beat.
With the capacity to produce up to 5,160 ounces of frozen cocktails per hour, the 77X Series ensures that your service remains efficient, even during peak times. This high output means fewer delays, shorter wait times, and ultimately, more satisfied customers who are likely to return for more.
The 77X Series offers flexibility with models available in 2, 3, or 4-barrel configurations, allowing you to choose the setup that best fits your venue’s needs. Whether you’re managing a bar with multiple cocktail offerings, an entertainment venue with a constant flow of patrons, or a convenience store looking to introduce a new beverage option, there’s a 77X model that can handle the job.
Innovative Technology for Superior Performance
The 77X Series is designed with advanced technology to make serving frozen cocktails more efficient and reliable. OptiFreeze™ and RapidFreeze™ are key features that ensure each drink is served at the right consistency and temperature, helping you maintain quality while minimizing wait times.
OptiFreeze™ keeps the drinks at an ideal texture, while RapidFreeze™ shortens the time between pours, allowing for quicker service during busy periods. This helps you keep up with demand without compromising the quality of the cocktails.
The closed-sealed system, paired with Bag-in-Box (BIB) technology, simplifies the operation and reduces the risk of contamination. This setup makes the 77X Series easier to maintain and ensures that your drinks remain consistently safe and enjoyable.
Additionally, the 77X Series uses a high-capacity, low-temperature compressor, specifically designed to freeze alcohol efficiently. This ensures the dispensers can handle continuous use, making them a reliable option for venues that need to serve a steady stream of customers.
Elevate Customer Experience with Versatility
A standout feature of the 77X Series is its versatility, allowing you to offer a diverse range of frozen cocktails with ease. Whether it's a classic margarita or a new, innovative creation, these dispensers make it simple to serve a variety of drinks that cater to different tastes.
While the current models focus on delivering high-quality single-flavor cocktails, future updates will expand to include multi-flavor options, offering even more customization for your customers. This flexibility will further enhance the customer experience, making it more likely that guests will return to try different combinations.
Especially since frozen cocktails are not something easily replicated at home, offering this level of customization can set your establishment apart and encourage repeat visits.
The 77X Series is also great if you're considering menu expansion. Whether you're adding limited-time specials or jumping on the latest flavor trends, these dispensers give you the flexibility to keep your offerings fresh and exciting, helping your business stand out in a competitive market.
Reliable Operation in Any Setting
In busy establishments, equipment often has to withstand harsh conditions and heavy use. If you ever experienced a broken or malfunctioning dispenser during a weekend rush, you know how disruptive and costly it can be.
If you look at getting an open-hopper equipment to save some money upfront, things can get even pricier in the long run. Open-hopper dispensers are known for clogging and freezing up, leading to downtime for maintenance and repairs.
The 77X Series is designed to tackle issues like these. It is built with durable materials and components and the closed system eliminates clogging and prevents freezing, ensuring smooth operation even in high-demand environments. This reliability minimizes downtime and maximizes your return on investment.
The precision engineering behind these dispensers means you can trust them to perform consistently, reducing the likelihood of breakdowns and costly downtime. This durability translates into a stress-free operation, allowing your team to focus on what matters most: serving customers and enhancing their experience.
Simplified Maintenance for Continuous Service
While we're talking about less breakdown and costly downtime, we have to mention the maintenance. Maintenance shouldn’t be a chore, and with the 77X Series, it isn’t. These dispensers are designed with ease of use in mind, featuring an intuitive interface that makes daily operation straightforward. The closed-sealed system means less frequent cleaning, allowing your staff to quickly handle routine tasks without disruption.
One of the standout features we already mentioned, the Bag-in-Box (BIB) technology, streamlines syrup changes and keeps the process mess-free. This system helps to ensure that your dispensers remain in top working condition with minimal effort, so your service runs smoothly day after day and your team doesn't have to spend valuable time on complex maintenance tasks.
Enhance Your Menu with Creative Cocktails
When you're investing in a machine like one from the 77X Series, you're not just adding another piece of equipment—you're elevating your entire beverage program. The flexibility of these dispensers allows you to offer a wide range of drinks, from timeless classics like margaritas and daiquiris to innovative, customized creations that can set your menu apart.
Consumers are increasingly leaning towards aesthetically pleasing and 'Insta-worthy' beverages that offer a visual and sensory experience. The 77X Series enables you to create stunning frozen cocktails that not only taste great but also look fantastic. These visually appealing drinks can become a key part of your branding, attracting customers who are eager to share their experiences online and spread the word about your venue.
Moreover, the 77X Series makes it easy to keep your menu fresh and engaging.
