Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Sweet Scoops, a popular ice cream kiosk on the busy seafront in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, was struggling with mess and wasted cones during peak tourist season. Their cramped counter space meant staff were constantly juggling orders, leading to frustrating and costly spills.
"It’s such a simple bit of kit, but it’s made our summer service so much smoother. We can prep four cones at once without worrying about them toppling over. The counter stays clean, we serve faster, and the team is less stressed."
Robert Miller – Owner, Sweet Scoops
The introduction of two CF309 cone holders immediately reduced their cone and product wastage by over 90% and visibly improved their service speed for group orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the holder and remove all protective packaging.
- Before its first use, give it a good wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Place it on a flat, level, and stable countertop where it is needed most.
- Ensure it's positioned away from the edge of the counter to prevent it from being knocked off.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and food-safe sanitiser at the end of each day.
- For a deeper clean, it is perfectly safe to wash in a commercial or domestic dishwasher.
- Dry thoroughly before storing to maintain its polished finish.
- Periodically check that it remains stable and hasn't been bent or damaged.

We see 'stainless steel' on equipment all the time, but what does it actually mean for your business? It's not just about looking smart and resisting rust. The real magic of commercial-grade stainless steel is that it's non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a glass worktop and a wooden one; there are no microscopic cracks or pores for germs and bacteria to hide in. This makes the surface incredibly easy to clean and, more importantly, to sanitise properly. For a food-contact item like a waffle cone display rack, this means you can be confident you're meeting food safety standards with just a simple wipe-down, protecting your customers and your reputation.
