Key features to look for

01

Reliable freezing and temperature control

Stable temperature management (typically in the −15°C to −25°C range for frozen product) maintains texture and taste, reduces waste, and keeps servings consistent.

02

Menu flexibility

Choose machines that support multiple flavours and configurable recipes (varies by model). For frozen yogurt, check options for tart profiles and mix-ins. Popular configurations include single-flavour, dual-flavour, and 2+1 (two flavours plus a twist).

03

Hygienic design

Food-grade contact surfaces, easy-access cleaning points, and sanitation reminders or logging where available.

04

Cashless payments (India-ready)

Prioritise models that support UPI (PhonePe, Google Pay, etc.) and card payments, with clear on-screen instructions for quick checkout.

05

Remote monitoring (IoT)

Advanced machines track stock levels, sales and basic machine health from a cloud dashboard — valuable for multi-location operators who want to refill and reconcile remotely.
