How to Successfully Start a Frozen Yogurt Shop

Develop a business plan

Many young entrepreneurs think all anyone needs to start a business is a great idea. However, there is so much more actual work to do than being inspired by your passion. Creating a comprehensive business plan is a great way to flesh out every part of your dream job on paper. It should include an executive summary that covers the overall direction of your business. Include a description of the types of frozen yogurt products you will offer customers, a marketing and sales plan, a list of competitors and a request for initial funding if necessary.

Thoroughly research products

In the food industry, the quality and taste of your products are your top priorities. You will need to test as many brands as you can. Try to pick flavors that really stand out in terms of quality and select varieties that you know your customers will enjoy. Choose sorbets, seasonals, low- or no-nfat, and no-sugar added items that are consistently exceptional.

Focus on your topping bar

The flavors you provide for your customers is important, but what catches the eye of the beholder – and brings them back for repeat business – is your topping bar. Rosseto’s luxury line of topping dispensers are beautifully crafted. Each container is made of high-quality, commercial-grade acrylic and rests within sturdy steel frames. The patented dispenser design prevents messy cleanups and also provides precision serving sizes with the just a few turns of a knob. The sophisticated, clean look of stainless steel is sure to hold the attention of current and future customers.
