Sweet Freeze (Jaipur)

About Sweet Freeze (Jaipur)

Sweet Freeze (Jaipur) is a neighbourhood ice cream parlour in Jaipur known for variety and generous servings. Strong summer business but struggling with profitability despite good traffic and loyal customer base.

Challenges faced before RanceLab:

• Portion sizes inconsistent—staff giving oversized scoops, untracked cost impact
• 35 flavours maintained year-round but many slow-moving with low sales
• No seasonal cash planning—summer profits spent, winter created cash crisis requiring loans
• Topping waste significant—items expiring before use, no systematic tracking

Solution implemented by RanceLab:

• Standardized scoop sizes with staff training and variance monitoring
• Flavour velocity analysis identifying high vs low performers
• Seasonal cash reserve planning with automated monthly savings targets
• Expiry tracking with FIFO enforcement and usage-before-expiry alerts

Measurable outcomes achieved:

• Portion control reduced ingredient costs by 21%—saving ₹1.6L quarterly
• Flavour count reduced from 35 to 22 bestsellers—freed ₹2.2L capital and freezer space
• Seasonal cash flow stabilized—₹4.8L summer reserves accumulated for winter, eliminated loan dependency
• Topping waste reduced by 58% through expiry management and promotional acceleration
• Overall profitability improved ₹3.4L annually with same customer base

Testimonial from Owner:

"We were busy every summer but broke every winter. System taught us to save when selling is easy so surviving is possible when it's hard."
