Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Chilly Cow Gelateria, a popular spot on Brighton's bustling seafront, needed to upgrade its service to better cater for customers with severe nut allergies, especially during the hectic summer season.
"We were constantly worried about cross-contamination during the rush. Introducing a dedicated, colour-coded system with these purple handled ice cream dishers has given our staff and our customers complete peace of mind. It’s so simple, but so effective."
Ben Carter – Owner
Since implementing the system, the gelateria has eliminated allergen-related service errors and seen a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning their excellent allergy awareness.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run it through a full dishwasher cycle.

Keeping It Going

- The scoop is fully dishwasher safe, making end-of-day clean-up quick and easy.
- Regularly check the scoop-and-release mechanism for smooth, unhindered operation.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or steel wool on the stainless steel bowl to prevent scratches.
