Challenges of a ice cream shop in Madrid

The challenges of managing an artisanal ice cream shop in Madrid

  • Extreme seasonality: 70% of revenue concentrated in 5 months
  • Fixed costs for workshop and machinery during low season months
  • Differentiation from industrial ice cream shops and franchises
  • Inventory management of perishable ingredients and waste
  • Development of complementary lines for winter (chocolate, waffles, crêpes)
  • Flavor and trend rotation (vegan, sugar-free, local flavors)
