Ice freezer rental in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, and Chicago. Wisconsin Illinois.
If you've catered or been to events where the food and drinks got a little too hot for comfort, you remember it well. The appetizer table attracted flies. The plastic tub full of drinks became soda can soup — not appetizing at all. To prevent a culinary disaster, replace coolers and ice chests with ice freezer rentals.
If an ice freezer seems like too big of an investment, here's four reasons you should make room in your event planning budget.
1. You'll Have All the Ice You Need
Ice can make or break an event. Imagine you're catering an outdoor wedding reception that's running longer than expected. It's going great, but it's hotter than the forecast predicted.
You notice the ice in the cooler is running a bit low, so you look for another bag. Unfortunately, you only brought 10 bags and it looks like you'll need at least five more.
An ice freezer rental lets you keep more ice in one location. Instead of dividing it up between smaller coolers that don't hold temperature in direct sunlight, you can keep more of it on-hand.
2. Ice Freezer Rentals Reduce Waste
The fear of running out ensures that caterers and event planners always plan for extra food. According to Tracy Stuckrath, an executive caterer, an estimated $21 billion of food is wasted annually at events. It's either uneaten or stays too long in the temperature danger zone.
Ice freezer rentals can be used to keep extra food at a safe temperature. Instead of putting everything out because it'll spoil by the end of the event anyway, caterers can measure out portions in a timely manner. Uneaten food can still be given away since it's not in violation of food safety standards. A freezer trailer can also be considered.
3. You Can Keep More Treats On-hand
If you're running an event with a lot of frozen treats, it's difficult to keep a wide variety available. If you're using ice and coolers to keep them frozen, they won't stay frozen long. You're also using ice for drinks so the number of treats and desserts you have space for is limited.
With an ice freezer rental, you can have a whole freezer dedicated to boxes of treats. You'll have everyone's favorite ice cream flavors available all day and picky kids can always grab their favorite popsicle flavor. Instead of jamming them into coolers and damaging packaging, your treats are always perfectly icy and available.
4. Events Are Only as Good as the Food
Nowadays, everyone's a foodie to some degree. Whether it's a wedding or festival, people will remember the quality of the food. In fact, event trend publication EventBrite found that 62% of people go to events just for the food. 66% say they distinctly remember bad food from certain events.
Without enough ice or temperature control, your guests' memories will be as spoiled as potato salad on a 90-degree day.
