Factors to Consider When Choosing Size:
Type of Ice Cream: Different types of ice cream, such as gelato or soft serve, may require different cup sizes to accommodate their texture and density.
Toppings and Additions: Consider whether your customers are likely to add toppings or extras to their ice cream. Larger cups may be necessary to accommodate additional toppings.
Portion Control: Offering smaller cup sizes can help promote portion control and encourage repeat visits from health-conscious customers.The FDA currently refers to half a cup of ice cream as one serving." Katherine Tallmadge, a registered dietitian and columnist for Live Science, says 1 cup is reasonable.
Storage and Display: Take into account the storage and display capabilities of your establishment when selecting cup sizes. Opt for sizes that are easy to stack and store efficiently.
