FCB - Frozen Carbonated Beverage

What is Frozen Carbonated Beverage (FCB)?

Frozen carbonated beverages are a slush-based product infused with carbonated air to create a light, fluffy, high-overrun frozen drink that consumers of all ages crave. Available in 2, 3, and 4-barrel configurations, FCB machines add maximum profit to your beverage program without sacrificing valuable counter space.

FCB is one of the highest-margin impulse items in foodservice. Popular in convenience stores, cinemas, and theme parks, FCB programs generate strong per-cup margins and drive repeat traffic with low labor and minimal waste. Customers can mix flavors themselves, creating endless variety from a compact, easy-to-operate machine.

• Stadiums and arenas — fast dispensing, long operating hours, strong margins
