01
How does it work in practice?
In Plaza's partnership model, the prepayment and purchase of a minimum product quantity is agreed and the corresponding machine is provided to the partner for the duration of the season.
There is no separate rent or rental charge for using the machine. The exact terms are shaped according to the equipment, the product and the needs of the partnership.
02
What support comes with the machine?
Choosing a loan agreement should not only be about which machine is installed in the venue. The support provided after installation is equally important.
Depending on the equipment, Plaza provides installation, training on use, technical guidance by phone, service and spare parts support, so that the partner can operate the machine correctly throughout the season.
03
Does it only apply to ice cream machines?
No. The loan option can also cover other categories of professional equipment, such as granita machines, waffle makers and crêpe makers, depending on the partnership and availability.
04
Which businesses can it suit?
A loan agreement can be particularly useful for cafés, take away points, patisseries, hotels, beach bars, kiosks and seasonal businesses, especially when buying a machine is not the preferred initial investment.
Before any agreement, it is important to look not only at the commercial terms but also at the machine's output capacity, the venue's electrical supply, the available service and the technical support.
