Trusted by 80% of the World’s Frozen Beverage Brands
The Growing Popularity of Frozen Beverages
Frozen beverages aren’t just a trend—they’re one of the fastest-growing segments in the beverage industry. From millennials and Gen Z to families and older demographics, frozen drinks appeal across all age groups.
Quick serve restaurants are adding frozen drinks to their menus to meet demand, boost revenue, and attract more customers. Here’s why:

Frozen beverages can generate up to 80% gross profits, using low-cost ingredients like water, syrup, and CO2.
Customizable Options
Quick serve restaurants can offer a variety of customizable drinks — from slushies to nitro-infused beverages — all with minimal equipment footprint.

Maximize Profits and Minimize Costs
FBD’s frozen beverage dispensers can make your program profitable in just six months with minimal effort. Here’s how FBD’s equipment keeps your profits high and your costs low:
1. Profitability Through High Frozen Beverage Margins
Capitalize on the popularity of frozen drinks, which are not only a favorite among customers but also drive foot traffic since they’re difficult to make at home. These beverages are composed of simple ingredients like syrup, water, and air, making them inexpensive to produce yet highly profitable.
For frozen carbonated drinks, the profits are even higher. These beverages are made up of 40% water, 50% CO2, and just 10% syrup — keeping costs low while achieving gross profits of up to 80% with FBD’s frozen beverage solutions.
2. Lowest Total Cost of Ownership in the Industry
Unlike open-hopper equipment that demands constant upkeep, FBD machines are engineered for long-term reliability. Over a lifespan of 8 years — nearly three times longer than most open bowl systems — you save time, labor, and money.
Minimize Labor Costs: Our machines are designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal training and reducing overall labor costs. No more daily or weekly disassembly for cleaning; a simple wipe-down and yearly preventative maintenance is all you need.
Fewer Cleaning Interruptions: No need for frequent cleanings. Your team can focus on serving customers instead of maintaining equipment.
Long Lifespan: Built-to-order machines deliver consistent high quality over the years, reducing replacement costs.
3. Innovative Ideas and a Variety of Flavors
Offer your customers a unique experience with a wide range of syrup flavors and colors, allowing you to adapt to changing tastes and trends. With FBD, you have the freedom to customize your menu to meet customer demand while driving more foot traffic to your store.
Fun and Interactive: Our equipment supports colorful, interactive visual merchandising that engages customers and encourages repeat visits.
Unlimited Flavor Options: Choose from third-party syrup providers to offer an almost unlimited variety of flavors and colors. Whether you’re creating seasonal specials or signature drinks, our dispensers make it easy to stay ahead of the curve.
Full Support: Our sales team is here to recommend trusted syrup providers, along with sourcing options for cups, lids, and straws to fit your business needs.
4. Adaptability for Your Business
