One of the fastest-growing requests for hotels, restaurants, cafes, and catering companies is functional beverages. At the top of this list is fresh, healthy, and nutrient-rich juice. To meet this demand, you'll need to invest in a commercial juicer to streamline operations, maximize profits, and offer premium quality.

Top HoReCa Juice

Orange juice and apple juice are the best-selling juices worldwide, and the two main juices served in restaurants and hotels. Even consumers who do not fit the standard juice bar demographics enjoy fresh orange juice.

The juices below are versatile ingredients that you can use in juice recipes, wellness shots, cocktails, mocktails, salad dressings, sauces, soups, and the pulp can be used for baked goods.

• Orange juice
• Other citrus juice
• Apple juice
• Carrot juice
• Tomato juice
• Half carrot half apple juice
• Half orange half carrot juice
• Green juice

Quality and Freshness

Consumers perceive freshly squeezed juice as healthy because the ingredients are natural and preservative-free. Although your initial investment in a commercial juicer is high, with the right marketing it pays for itself many times over.

Meeting the values of health-conscious consumers for freshness and naturalness is something you can charge more for. You can charge from €1 to €2 more for freshly squeezed juice, and around 10% more for organic and sustainably sourced juices and food products. Consider high-return juice add-ons and upsells to maximize profits.

You can monetize your pulp! Add pulp to soups, sauces, and baked goods to increase profitability. Or sell your pulp as food additives or compost.

Operational Efficiency

Many HoReCa businesses hand-squeeze or use store-bought juicers when transitioning from bottled to freshly squeezed juice. While sufficient for proof of concept, low-end appliances do not meet the needs of commercial kitchens. Below are the main ways upgrading to a commercial juice extractor helps you deliver a premium and unique culinary experience.

Reduced Preparation Time

With store-bought juicers, you'll need to invest a significant amount of time cutting, peeling, and removing pits and seeds from fruits and vegetables to fit them into the small feed tube. Zumex juicers eliminate peeling and pit and seed removal and minimize or eliminate cutting.

Orange and Citrus Juicers

Our large orange juicers allow juicing large volumes with almost no intervention. Place a box of whole oranges in the feed container and it automatically feeds and juices into your pitcher or container of choice. The citrus is crushed to extract the juice, and it is filtered to ensure no seeds enter. The pulp can be adjusted. We also have small countertop models and self-service models that juice whole oranges one at a time.

Blender Juicers

Blender juicers extract liquid goodness from both fruits and vegetables. Produce is fed into the large feed tube. Most produce does not need to be cut before juicing, but extra-large produce like giant apples, cabbage heads, and melons need to be cut to size. No need to peel or remove the pit or seeds. The internal metal basket spins at high speed and the titanium shredding disc maximizes sharpness  to shred fruit quickly and easily. Juice on demand or pre-juice orange, tomato, carrot, and apple juice for the day.

Cold Press Juicers

Cold press juicers (also known as slow presses) are the most efficient of our high-volume juicers. Pineapples and melons must be cut in half before juicing, but that's it. In addition to their high efficiency, cold pressing is the gold standard of commercial juicing appliances. By crushing and pressing to extract, less heat is generated than with centrifugal juicers. This eliminates foam and separation and retains more digestive enzymes to increase nutrients. Cold press juicers are a superior choice for pre-bottled juicing.

Ergonomic

As a HoReCa owner or operator, you must provide your kitchen staff with a safe working environment. One of the many aspects of safety is ergonomics. Our juicers do most of the work and support intuitive and comfortable body mechanics. This drastically minimizes the physical effort of preparing and juicing produce.

Higher Yield

Commercial juicers extract more juice per fruit and vegetable than store-bought juicers, and Zumex juicers yield 1 to 2 ounces per serving more than many of our top commercial competitors.

Faster Juicing and Cleaning

Between reduced preparation time, semi-automated juicing, and higher yield, you can pre-juice and juice up to 30 gallons per hour.

Large pulp containers minimize waste collection, and our easy-to-disassemble and dishwasher-safe parts make cleaning a breeze. Some of our models are self-sanitizing.

Sustainable

Sustainability is of growing importance to consumers. The more farm-to-table and natural ingredients on your menu, the more your customers will perceive you align with their values.

• Juicing fresh and local minimizes your carbon footprint.
• Sourcing organic ingredients is environmentally conscious.
• Responsible sourcing can minimize deforestation.
• Higher yields and pulp recycling generate less waste.
• Our durable parts and advanced technology are long-lasting.
• Energy-efficient design minimizes energy use.

Long-term Profitability of Commercial Juicers

Your commitment to quality, consistency, and sustainability enhances your brand image and online reviews, building a loyal consumer base. When combined with the features and benefits above, upgrading to a HoReCa juicing appliance prepares your hotel, BNB, restaurant, cafe, or catering company for profitability.
