Equipment Prep

Check your numbers from last season. 

Clean & Test your equipment is running properly - If you need repairs we have a repair shop in Lawrence Ma.

When testing your equipment always do a few batches. You want to make sure that your equipment is in working order when you open. You do not want to loss potential sales

Check to make sure the equipment you have is the right size & capacity - example - Can you keep up with the demand or Do you need new equipment.

Stock up


Not only is equipment important. Supplies are also. Make sure to check dates on what you have, since being closed for the season things maybe out dated.

Consider your sales potential when placing orders. This will insure you have enough supplies to meet your needs
