Thanks for sharing your information. Some people seem to be so secretive. This video will help so many people who are looking to start their own business.
You are a very genuine, generous and kind person. Some of those tips you give are pure gold. It’s very specific information that you only have. Not many people take the time to answer questions of this sort. A good many people don’t see the purpose. You’re a good man who is a teacher, businessman, and very hard working individual. I see you use quick books for your business, so you are careful with your money. You take care of the general health by abiding by all health regulations. You have employees whom you pay which contributes so very much to communities by assuring pay and payment of taxes, and are the very backbone of our country. Awesome!
Hey, how are you? I appreciate you taking the time to answer all these questions. My question is based on metrics how big is your freezer? How many blocks of ice can you put in inside freezer and how many shave vices can you get out of one block?
Man, You got it Goin On...!! Thank You for an Awesome Insight.... Very Interesting.... Little by Little, Better and Better... Very Organized.... Keep it Up...!! BillinL.A. 9/11/22.
Hey brother, where do you recomend buying the concentrates from? My wife and i are working to start one up and we want to have quality flavors. Thanks in advance.
You have great information video recorded you are very kind to share info, I m planing to start this business but i want ice thicker texture how can I get? I m going to make indian style ice popsicles, so ice need be shaved thicker, also Where do you get plastic ice block moulds? And could u name water filter system and where can I get?
Thank you for sharing! My sister and I are opening up a shaved ice stand next year! We’re in the south so we know we could make a good profit. We have the slightest idea where to start so I’m starting here with your videos lol ❤️
Viewers if you have questions please read through the comments and answers. I noticed a lot of people ask the same questions he has already answered 😆😉🙏🏻👍🏻
Smart kid … but guess im the kid since im 29 with no business yet but still thinking about what could work in my area … Im Puerto rican from nyc and ive seen a lot in my 21 years growing up in nyc ..but this business is clean , convenient and also has a dam mini mart in the back .. From 02721
Can you share the brand/name of the ice shaver used before you purchased the Fujimarca? I'm looking for a more affordable option then will upgrade after a profit is made and demand increases.
Thanks for sharing your video. I really like how you invested in a purification system for the ice making. I was wondering is there any state or federal law that requires what type of can containers to use for making and storing the ice ?
Thanks for sharing man. I'm planning to open one up in my city with a few arcade games inside but the one store near here gets a TON of people and my store will be in an even busier area so do you recommend I buy the big commercial machines and the block ice maker too? The ice maker is about 8k and machine about 2.5k.
Could you tell me the exact mix of your 32 oz bottles? You add your syrup (which already contains benzoat/citric acid) and then you add in your concentrate? How much of each do you need to make those 32 oz flavor bottles ready to pour ?
I think the same process he's doing in the video is what I'm trying to replicate . I feel like the 1 quart/32 ounce bottles fill as you go is the best process for me. I want to know how much concentrate/water/benzoate/citric acid he uses for the bottles please. that would help so much.
What kind of freezer do you have? Would this one work? Frigidaire 19.8-cu ft Manual Defrost Chest Freezer White Or which one do you recommend? And for the cash register, can you send me the link on that as well?
Hello thank you for your time and information. My wife and I are converting a school bus to a food truck and really not sure what to serve as of now. Would this be a good business to get in ? Henry Kelley
Hi may i ask how much you charge for your cones? But more what you charge for the cone you insert soft ice cream into the center. What do you call them? Do you serve as is or add toppings? Ive never seen these before. Thank you so much in advance.
Thank you for your video very helpful. Where do you buy your ice buckets.the ones I've been using break from bottom and how much do you fill a one gallon bucket size. The ice that I have been making shatters to pieces it's been very frustrating 😵😵 any info would help thx in advance
I get them locally for a little over a dollar from Price Container in Willard UT. You have to leave some space for expansion you can't fill them up all the way.
How can I make my syrup dicker because I went by your measurements but my simple syrup is still very watery and I like for it to be thicker like the actual syrup ready to use syrup
Quick books cash register plus bundle. It used to be less than $300 and came with a free level of quick books. I think they have discontinued it but you can still find it once in a while through eBay
could you share where you're buying the ice buckets? I'm from another country so no competition :) and I've asked this before but to get the response from you would be wonderful, at what temperature do you freeze the ice blocks?
How do you extract the ice from out of the bucket. Without breaking the buckets . Is it simply tempering the ice to allow it to thaw until it falls out and is ready for use??
I let them sit on the counter and temper. Sometimes i need to use the block before it is done tempering. I simply run it under warm water until it comes out of the bucket. The buckets break from overfilling and freezing not from removing the product.
@@thehaddocks thank you for the tip! What would you say is a good amount of water to put inside the buckets so they don't expand and break the plastic?
@@thehaddocks, thank you for your helpful video. My family name is Southern and we had a snow cone stand that I ran when I was in elementary school. I am retired and will be 74 this month. I would like to open a mobile snow cone stand that my grandchildren can work in, and I had planned on calling it Southern Snow, but I see that you have just referenced a company that already uses that name. Is there a way to research company names to avoid future legal difficulties if I create a business and find out that name has previously been used. Are these names proprietary and registered anywhere like a copywrite?
I really dont have any question more so A RESPONSE MOST PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO SHARE THEIR SUCCESS WITH OUT DUE TO WHAT EVER CRAZY ASS REASON THEY MAKE UP IN THERE HEAD WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY TO BE MADE FOR EVERYONE HOWEVER.

😍❤👍
Thank you for your videos! Very informative and helpful! Roughly, how many cups of shave ice can you get out of one ice block? Thanks in advance.
About 8 4 oz flower cups piled high.
The Haddocks thank you!!!
The Haddocks What is the name of the machine on the left?
The two Fujimark machines are awesome.
@@affiliatewireless8435 SaniServ, (@0:26 click the time stamp, it will show you) it's a Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine.

I love the cups you are using. Would you mind sharing where you purchase them from? Also, thank you so much for the video and for sharing.
Hypothermias
I want to come and eat one! The only question I have is where are you located. LOL
regarding your soft serve machine when you close for the day do you have to clean it out and do the process to maintain it everyday?
Hello, thanks for the video!
How many do you sell per a day? And which flavour is most popular in your city?
I sell about 100+ a day. The most popular flavors for us are Tigers Blood, Blue Raspberry, Cotton Candy, Peach, and Pina colada.
I’ve been debating on building a shaved ice truck. Where did you get your ice shaver and supplies. And advise on what to buy and not buy? Thanks
Do you find it more cost efficient to make your own syrup from concentrate? Do you know the margin difference?
Can you do a video on how you clean your syrup bottles?
Thanks for this video. Are you still in business?
Do you have a technique to make sure you put enough syrup, like measuring or anything? Getting into the business and was curious. Thanks in advance!
I don’t I just do what looks right
Thank you for this video. How do you flavor once you have the simple syrup?
How much was start up ? Also are you renting a space?
Yes i am renting space that i share with my other business a boutique. Start up for me was about $3K
Very interested, can you give the details about the business
Bal Polestico Yes what details?
The Haddocks I have a question. Sorry to jump in. How many cups did you sell on average daily when you first opened. Before you developed a following?
Have you had any issues with the ice freezing and cracking? When making your ice tubs? Does the RO system help with this? Thanks!!
Once in a while. Usually it’s from overfilling the container. I think the RO system helps with less cracking.
I noticed you're getting your concentrate from Southern Snow. How do you like their flavors and how does it compare to others? Thank you.
I like them. They have good flavor and the best price I have found. They also have a huge selection.
I'm a nihilist, life is meaningless and all
But then come poeple like you and I get confused, confused
Thanks for the video. What is your pricing for your cones? I want to start on this nes journey of selling shaved ice.
Could you tell me the exact mix of your 32 oz bottles? You add your syrup (which already contains benzoat/citric acid) and then you add in your concentrate? How much of each do you need to make those 32 oz flavor bottles ready to pour ?
richard seymore you follow the directions of your concentrate
yeah but there's no directions for 1 quart/32 ounce mixes. im bad at math. can you help with the conversions?
I think the same process he's doing in the video is what I'm trying to replicate . I feel like the 1 quart/32 ounce bottles fill as you go is the best process for me. I want to know how much concentrate/water/benzoate/citric acid he uses for the bottles please. that would help so much.
Hi , can you demonstrate how you use your fondont roller to hollow out the snow cone?
Hi, I would like to see that too. Thanks
What kind of freezer do you have? Would this one work?
Frigidaire 19.8-cu ft Manual Defrost Chest Freezer White
Or which one do you recommend?
And for the cash register, can you send me the link on that as well?
Hello thank you for your time and information. My wife and I are converting a school bus to a food truck and really not sure what to serve as of now. Would this be a good business to get in ? Henry Kelley
Every food business is good to get into. You need to have a product that sets you apart and you need to be able to serve it fast.
Hi may i ask how much you charge for your cones? But more what you charge for the cone you insert soft ice cream into the center. What do you call them? Do you serve as is or add toppings? Ive never seen these before. Thank you so much in advance.
Where did you purchase the plastic ice buckets from?
What notifications would you make if you had a mobile trailer?
Hi!
What machine did you use prior?
And what are all the clear syrups/sugars for?
I used the great northern polar cub. It’s worth it to buy the more expensive fujimarca though.
Have you given any thought to adding Italian water ice to your shave ice menu?
I was thinking of doing both or just one of them.
I woud love to watch this open. And sell.
Where can I buy the machine at for the shaved ice?
hey hows it going @thehaddocks i was wondering where did you buy the half gallon buckets ?
What benefit is having a computer vs a square set up. Cost vs efficiency.
Square is 2.75% for Credit cards I pay cost plus so I pay a lot less than that. Also I use a free level of quickbooks so it costs me nothing.
Can you tell me what kind of ice machine you have again? A Fuji Marka?
Hello sir, great set up you have there. May I ask what is a better machine, Hatsuyuki HS 500-E or the the Fujimarca?
They are similar machines. I would go with the fujimarca.
@@thehaddocksWhere can I purchase the Fujimarca machine
@@tywonex2 from Shaveicesupplies.com
Is any water ok to make block ice?
Like tap water? Or does it has to be certain water?

Hi. You have to let the ice sweat. Till it looks like its wet.
I'm just wondering how many cones on average would you sell per day? Im about to open my own store and just looking for some information.
thanks!
I sell 100-200 per day
Heyy bro can you please post a link to the shaving machine
Thanks
do you have a spreadsheet of costs of supplies and syrups? where do you get your supplies from? what are your prices?
www.1-800-shaved-ice.com has good syrups that you can choose
Great video. What is the difference between Hawaiian shaved ice, and what you offer or is it the same?
Yes Hawaiian shave ice is made with a vertical block shaver. The fujimarca shaver is actually sold in Hawaii.
Hey Haddocks. Another question. How do you make your "snow cap", condensed milk topping? Do you offer that to your customers or no?
sweetened condensed milk mixed with a little simple syrup or heavy whipping cream.
How do you make pink leche
I don’t know we don’t have pink leche.
How can I make my syrup dicker because I went by your measurements but my simple syrup is still very watery and I like for it to be thicker like the actual syrup ready to use syrup
Hi! What do consider a season to be for you? From when to when?
We are open all year because we are attached to a boutique i own. I consider the season May 15 to September 15.
How did you get started? Did you start with this setup?
Why should you have so many flavors? Too many choices? Your thoughts?
Good point. I talk about that in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/1JhirDfRuSU/v-deo.htmlsi=faBteAlOewruNokB
Where do you purchase your syrup bottles from with pumps?
Can you show us you retail boutique.
Great video?
How much space do you need for your shaved ice business?
And why are multiple sinks required?
My space is about 7' x 11'
Chloe Burbank You need the sinks for the Health Department rules. Wash, rinse, sanitize, and a hand wash sink.
Hi! I was wondering where to purchase the receipt printer and register drawer?
Quick books cash register plus bundle. It used to be less than $300 and came with a free level of quick books. I think they have discontinued it but you can still find it once in a while through eBay
I want to buy that machine Will you please help me where to buy that machine? Thank you, GOD Bless .
