Reimagining Ice: The Smarter Way for Hospitality

In the fast-paced world of hospitality, every detail counts — and ice is no exception. Whether it’s crafting the perfect cocktail, keeping seafood fresh, or serving chilled drinks at peak hours, reliable ice supply is a non-negotiable. Yet, for many hotels, bars, and restaurants, owning and maintaining commercial ice machines is costly, time-consuming, and full of headaches. That’s where Svivel steps in — offering a smarter, subscription-based ice solution that keeps you stocked with crystal-clear ice, without the capital expense or maintenance hassles.

The Problem with Owning an Ice Machine

For decades, the standard practice was simple: buy a commercial ice machine, hire a team to maintain it, and factor repairs into your annual budget. But reality paints a different picture:

• High upfront cost: Commercial ice machines can cost lakhs of rupees to purchase.

• Maintenance & repairs: Scaling, part breakdowns, and hygiene checks require skilled technicians and ongoing expenses.

• Downtime: Every hour without ice during service hours is lost revenue and unhappy guests.

The Smarter Alternative: Ice-as-a-Service

With Svivel’s subscription-based model, hospitality businesses can completely sidestep these challenges. Instead of owning an ice machine, you subscribe to it — much like leasing, but with full-service support built in.

Here’s how it works:

• Zero CapEx: No large upfront investment — just a manageable monthly subscription.

• Maintenance included: We handle regular servicing, cleaning, and part replacements.

• Guaranteed uptime: If the machine stops, we fix it or replace it quickly.

Why This Works for Hospitality

• Predictable Costs – No surprise repair bills; your monthly cost stays the same.

• Operational Efficiency – Staff focus on service, not on fixing machines.

• Always Hygienic – Scheduled deep cleans keep ice food-safe and crystal clear.

• Scalability – Add more machines as your demand grows, without another CapEx hit.
