Frozen Yoghurt Is Back: How Irish Businesses Can Add It to the Menu
Frozen yoghurt is back in the spotlight. Colourful cups, a choice of toppings and the
chance to make every serve your own are giving customers a fresh reason to try froyo.
For cafés, convenience stores and forecourts, the question is simple: could froyo be
your next menu addition?
You do not need to open a dedicated froyo shop to get started. The right machine, a
short menu and a service plan that works for your team can make frozen yoghurt a
practical addition to your business.
Why is frozen yoghurt getting attention again?
Customers enjoy being able to build a dessert around what they like. One person might
choose fruit and a little sauce; another might go for chocolate, crunch and all the extras.
That choice makes the cup fun to eat, photograph and share.
Frozen yoghurt also appeals to customers looking for choices that feel healthier and fit
their wellness routines, even when they are buying a treat. Frozen yoghurt speaks to that
interest through its yoghurt base and fruit topping options. It gives customers a dessert
option that feels fresh, while still leaving room for all their favourite toppings.
The renewed interest is visible close to home. Australian frozen yoghurt brand Yo-Chi
has opened in London, bringing its customisable froyo format to the UK. Its arrival is a
useful sign of interest, though an Irish retailer does not need to copy its self-serve
model. A well-made cup served over the counter can work just as well for your own
space and customers.
How can you start selling frozen yoghurt?
1. Decide what the serve will look like
Start with what your team can make consistently. Two or three signature cups can make
ordering quick, while a build-your-own option gives customers more choice. Choose a
manageable range of flavours, toppings and sauces, then see what people actually
order before expanding the menu.
2. Choose a commercial frozen yoghurt machine that fits
The best machine depends on the space you have, how many cups you expect to serve
and whether you want to offer one flavour or several. Dairyglen’s commercial frozen
yoghurt machine range includes countertop and floor-standing models, with single-
flavour and multiple-flavour options. A small café and a busy forecourt will have
different needs, so the choice should start with your business.
Tell us about your space, expected demand and how you want to serve froyo. Our team
will help you find the right fit.
3. Plan for everything around the machine
A frozen yoghurt offering needs more than a machine. You will need a reliable supply of
mix, toppings, sauces, cups and spoons, plus support to ensure your frozen yoghurt
offering reaches its full potential. Dairyglen can help with machine selection,
installation, training, product and packaging supply, and ongoing maintenance support.
You can also ask about monthly machine cleaning and point-of-sale materials. Explore
