How to Start a Italian Water Ice Business

In this video I will share how you can start a Italian water ice business. I have been in the Italian water ice business for years! Some people call it water ice. Whatever you choose to call it, this can be a very profitable business. You can start with a water ice cart or a Italian water ice truck.

Crazy! An Italian ice cart has been on my vision board for 10 years. It’s too easy to start for me to be so afraid. I appreciate your videos and the comments so much!

You’re welcome

Italian (Water) Ice is probably the easiest business to get into next to Shaved Ice. I had an Italian Ice business and people walking around the event w/my clear cups attracted more business as people would ask "Where did you get that from?" Since the only ingredients in II are sugar, flavoring and water, the HD isn't on your back, set up is easy w/as little as a tent, no commissary needed and inexpensive to start. The hardest flavor to scoop was Watermelon which felt like I was scooping hard ice cream. I had that flavor at the busiest event I did and of course everyone seemed to want it. I'm in the southeast but luckily I had a supplier in my city. I then switched to a different supplier which was only an hour away but was worth the drive. Keep up the great content!

Hey that a nice video, I currently am an ice cream man with my own truck and two tricycle carts and I’ve been thinking about switching to Italian ice, I had a few questions I’d love to ask you if you’re available?

[@blamericanbuty]

if you are starting out with the igloo containers can you store the italian ice in a regular deep freezer?

[@MobileFoodBooth]

Yes

[@Amatullah.574]

Love it. Question? How much do you make if you don't mind me asking?

[@MobileFoodBooth]

A lot!

Definitely we can try to help, email us at [e-mail] we also have a Facebook group

[@jamalpeoples3736]

While I love your videos on Italian ice, you never stray from suppliers for product. Which I just don't understand. It's great at first. Just wondering why more people aren't saving to buy a used machine and up their game. Making a quality product for 2-5 cents an ounce. Much higher profit.

[@MobileFoodBooth]

That’s true I just don’t have time to make it

[@jamalpeoples3736]

@@MobileFoodBooth Also dont knownif they alow it in your city, but hard Italian ice really sells.

[@elvacox2064]

Where do store the water ice when there isn't a event

[@MobileFoodBooth]

Large deep freezer

[@anonmiss120]

I have watched several of your videos saying you can start this for a few hundred dollars but you have never said HOW you make the Italian ice. How are you actually making it without the expensive machines?

[@grandegroove5485]

What license should I get ?

[@grandegroove5485]

I’m in the DMV

[@MobileFoodBooth]

First step is to contact your local health department they will help you with what items you need to start. Also you need to register with your secretary of state and sales tax license. Let us know if you need more help

[@unifinishedbusiness1019]

Would like to schedule a session

[@massielchirinos7959]

Whats the machine i need to start??

[@MobileFoodBooth]

We would recommend buying it form a wholesale account first until you get good sales. The best way is to go with a batch freezer carpigiani or techno gel. They are very expensive new 25k+. Used are 6k-15k. You can always look at a machine like this www.vevor.com/soft-serve-ice-cream-machines-c_10720/vevor-countertop-soft-serve-ice-cream-maker-22-30l-h-2350w-frozen-yogurt-machine-p_010848777844?lang=en&currency=usd?shortkey=20231026fs6P
