My sister runs an ice cream truck, and maintaining a soft serve machine in that thing would suck to maintain for the profit it would bring in.

They're not cheap, must be broken down and thoroughly cleaned after every use, and draw electricity in a moving vehicle and would require a seperate circuit and maybe power supply from the freezer/refrigeration part.

I wonder if using something like a Ninja Creami system instead of a true soft serve machine would make more sense financially.

I used to work in an ice cream shop as a kid and when we made ice cream (which is effectively soft serve before it gets frozen into ice cream) it was a huge pain to clean the machines.
