How to Choose the Ideal Professional Juicer for Your Restaurant or Cafeteria

One of the many things that differentiates Zumex machines from our competitors, is that we understand that HoReCa businesses require different things from their professional juicers. You may have limited space, may be testing the market, and you may not have the budget to substantially increase your labor line.

To meet your needs, we’ve curated a diverse range of advanced technology that seamlessly integrates into HoReCa business models of any kind.

What to consider when choosing a HoReCa juicer?

• Type of produce: Orange juice is the best-selling juice in the world, making OJ a profitable addition to your beverage menu. We have OJ and citrus juicers and multi-produce juicers. You may require more than one type of juicer!
• Expected juice volume: Project how many servings or gallons of juice you plan to sell each day. You may start out with a small but efficient citrus juicer and upgrade to a high-volume or multi-produce juicer as demand increases.
• Space and operational flow: One of the biggest challenges with competing professional juicers is that they’re too big. If they weren’t built-in to the original floorplan or counter layout, they won’t work for you. We have options that require as little as .3 meters of counter space!
• Serving type: Create a unique food experience by determining if you want to serve made-to-order juice or if you want to pre-squeeze some (or all) of your juice. If you want to pre-bottle a high-volume of juice, a cold press maximizes freshness and ensures zero foam or separation.
• Ease of use: All of our HoReCa juicers are ergonomic and intuitive. Some are designed for self-serve use and are safe enough for children to use, while some are employee-only juicers.
• Performance: We designed our technology with efficiency in mind. Juice more fruits per minute, more juice per fruit and veggie, and monitor performance within the Zumex app.
• Budget: Beyond your initial investment, factor in the durability of your machine, lifespan, and COGS. Our machines can reduce food costs by 10% and come with a 5-year warranty!
