Questions ice creameries and gelato shops ask
How do we trade through winter?
Cakes, catering, wholesale tubs and hot desserts. It won't match summer, but it covers fixed costs and keeps staff.
Do seasonal hours matter that much?
Yes. Extended summer hours are a competitive advantage only if they're published, and stale winter hours cost you evening trade.
Is wholesale worth pursuing?
For anyone making their own product, absolutely. Cafés and restaurants buy tubs year-round and it smooths the seasonal curve.
