Discover our services for setting up an ice cream shop
At Gerogelato, we offer you all the necessary knowledge for decision-making, both in terms of formulas and commercial strategy.
Landing report
It is the first functional service for any type of ice cream project. Its goal is to solve one of the fundamental questions when drawing an idea: to define exactly what business model we will implement, what commercial mix we will develop, whether we will be competitive in our market, and above all, whether we are in a position to effectively start a winning ice cream project.
Geomarketing
This service allows you to define the best location in the established area where you should place your first point of sale and plan a geographical expansion line.
We provide you with a comprehensive service to locate the ideal commercial space for you.
We collaborate with agents in the commercial real estate sector and brokers.
We evaluate with you the locations chosen by you, so that you never get confused and we are all happy with the business.
The service includes legal advice related to the acquisition of the property, so that you can stipulate the best possible contract for your company.
Definition of commercial space according to size and characteristics
Passing-through commercial space
These are commercial spaces ranging from 50 to 80 square meters, with a strong seasonal component, for which it is essential to organize the business architecture in a logical and functional way, optimizing sales and production times.
Big commercial spaces
These are commercial spaces with more than 150 square meters, where it is possible to work well even in winter, with tables and/or a terrace. For these spaces, we will also need to organize the areas and other resources based on a clientele that stays longer in our ice cream shop.
Strategic product design
We will design, with our clients, the best possible range of products and adapt them to the needs of the market, customizing production so that you have a unique and exclusive product for your brand.
This service includes, if desired, the ad hoc design of customized semi-finished products (not existing industrial products already on the market) so that you have a useful and functional tool for expansion, if desired.
