Pretzels can be a very successful concession item, if you have the right equipment. They are easy to prepare, are healthier than candy or chips, and selling pretzels can also increase drink sales. With up to an 86 percent profit margin, it’s easy to start making money and begin paying back your start-up costs quickly with a pretzel concession business. This article will provide an overview of the various pretzel concession equipment set-ups available.

The Ideal Pretzel Warmer

Humidified pretzel warmers and ovens are superior to non-humidified equipment in a number of ways. Most importantly, the quality of your product will increase. Humidified warmers provide your customers with soft, warm, fresh pretzels that stay this way for longer periods of time, thereby giving your customers a better pretzel experience. Additionally, humidified pretzel warmers also allow for a more rapid rate of turnover, as they are designed for high volumes. You can have pretzels ready for your customers all day – whenever your customers want a pretzel, you can be confident you will have a warm, fresh, soft pretzel available for your customers to purchase.

Unique Solutions

Space saving, compact pretzel warmers help you fit into small areas. If you are at an event that charges you per table or per square foot, a compact humidified pretzel warmer will save you money by not requiring any extra space. Though they may be small, they can still offer a maximum capacity of 50 Jumbo Pretzels on revolving racks.

If space isn’t an issue, you can always choose the full-sized version with double doors to make it easier on yourself or your staff. If you prefer to cook your pretzels on site, some humidified pretzel warmers come complete with pretzel ovens built right into them. The oven is on the bottom and the humidified warming cabinet rests on top. This is a simple and efficient way to bake and sell your product at the same time.

If you are in a location without electricity, perhaps at a festival, parade, lakeside event or a church parking lot -- what do you do? The answer to this common dilemma is simple. You can purchase a humidified pretzel warmer that doesn’t require electricity to run it. These units simply use Sterno cans instead.  These portable units provide the same quality and freshness as a unit that requires an electric connection without actually having to be plugged in.

Portable units have a maximum capacity of 75 Jumbo pretzels. Take your pretzel concession business wireless by using a portable humidified pretzel warmer, and you will receive the same quality and efficiency of a corded unit, along with increased flexibility, which can increase sales.

With tempered curved glass, a digital thermostat and bright lights, your display unit will assure your customers of your professionalism and dedication to high standards. With European design and full functionality, including an easy to change front menu board, your pretzel display unit will complete your pretzel concession equipment needs.
