Here are just some of the services we offer:
Throughout the course of the year, we at Sentry Equipment will hold an array of seminars that are beneficial to both the experienced operator and the novice. For more information on our seminars, please click here.

| Location |
|
Location is half the battle when developing a business
concept. With thousands of stores in our customer base, we know
what to look for in a good location. We can educate you and
help you scout the perfect spot. We can also let you know what type
of operation would best suit your possible location. If you
already have a location in mind, let us know and we can give you our opinion.
|
| Meet with your contractors |
|
We know how important it is that any needed construction gets done in a timely fashion. At
Sentry, we will work with your contractors, plumbers, and electricians and answer any questions
they may have on the layout and requirements for the equipment.
|
| Floor Plan |
|
Whether it be a new store or changes to your existing
store, the look, flow and function of the spot is very important. At Sentry, we will take your
ideas and our knowledge and create the best possible layout for your store. Not only can our computer scale
drawings be used as specifications for your contractors, but many times they can be used to obtain permits and building approvals.

| Menu Creation and Layout |
|
Your menu is not just a graphic with prices. It is a vital piece of
advertising and communication with your customers. Prices should not be pulled out of
thin air, or even worse, based off your competition’s prices. The layout has a huge
influence on what people order. The products you sell should be well thought out with a
plan. The sizes you carry and the semantics of what you call them is very significant.
From prices, to products, to portions, we can help you design the best and most profitable menu for your store

| Menu Training |
|
So you know what's on your menu and you know what you are charging, but how do you actually
make these menu items? Don't worry, we will teach you. The Sentry Equipment team will come
in and work with you and your staff on the production of every single item on your menu. We will make sure that your team knows how to
make your menu items the right way, ensuring consistency and portion control every time. You
would be surprised what that can do to your profit at season's end.
|
| Suppliers |
|
Throughout the years we have built strong relationships with all the suppliers
for every item you need in your operation. We can not only introduce you to these suppliers, but when you tell
them you are working with Sentry Equipment, everything should get a little easier.
|
| Business of Frozen Treats |
|
Starting a business is a big investment. Before you plunge, we can help you figure out the start up costs,
breakeven analysis, and cash flow projections for your endeavor. This way you are educated on the potential
before you commit. If you are just planning on adding equipment, we will discuss the profit potential and see
what volume you need to do to make the investment worthwhile. We can even work with you on a business plan to secure any financing you may need.
|
| Concept Design |
|
We've had plenty of customers first come to us knowing
they want to do something, but not knowing what 'something' was. Not a problem. We'll sit with you and
take your ideas and develop the best and most profitable concept possible.
|
| Future consulting |
|
We can help you analyze your season and/or brainstorm
new ideas and products. Before, during, and after the sale: We are always just a phone call away.
