What Is a Soft Serve Vending Machine?

Automatic Soft Serve. Zero Overhead.

A soft serve vending machine is a fully automated kiosk that dispenses freshly made soft serve ice cream — no employees, no manual scooping, no daily presence required. Customers walk up, tap a screen, pay, and enjoy a perfectly swirled cup in seconds. The machine handles everything from portioning to payment processing.

The 99 Spoons soft serve ice cream vending machine is engineered for serious entrepreneurs. Unlike traditional ice cream franchises that lock you into royalties and staffing costs, our automatic soft serve machine lets you own your entire operation outright. One flat all-in price covers the machine, delivery, professional installation, operator training, and a full starter supply kit — so you hit the ground running.

With a 10 sq ft footprint and a standard 110V outlet, your soft serve vending machine fits virtually anywhere foot traffic exists: hospital lobbies, university student unions, shopping malls, airport terminals, office buildings, and military base exchanges. Our 165+ operators across the country are already generating revenue around the clock, 365 days a year — without a single employee on payroll.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before purchasing a soft serve vending machine for sale through 99 Spoons.

The 99 Spoons soft serve vending machine is priced at $22,000–$24,000 all-in. That single price includes the machine itself, professional delivery to your location, installation, hands-on operator training, and a full starter supply kit so you can begin serving customers immediately. The only ongoing cost is a flat $49/month software fee — there are no franchise fees, no royalties, and no hidden costs. Every dollar of revenue your machine generates goes directly to you.
Yes — completely. The 99 Spoons automatic soft serve machine is engineered specifically for unattended operation. Customers interact with a touchscreen, select their size and flavor, pay with a card or mobile payment, and the machine dispenses a perfectly portioned soft serve cup. The machine self-monitors temperature, inventory levels, and sanitation status. You receive alerts via the real-time dashboard if any attention is needed. Most operators spend only a few hours per week checking inventory and cleaning — the machine does everything else.
The most profitable locations share high foot traffic, limited direct competition, and a captive or semi-captive audience. 99 Spoons operators have seen strong results in hospitals (staff and visitor lobbies), university student unions and dining areas, shopping mall corridors, airport terminals, military base exchanges, hotel lobbies, fitness centers, and large office complexes. With only a 10 sq ft footprint and no plumbing requirements, placement options are nearly unlimited. Our team helps every new operator evaluate location candidates and understand what makes a site high-performing.
No franchise fees. No royalties. Zero percent of your revenue goes to 99 Spoons beyond the $49/month flat software fee. You own the machine outright after purchase — there's no ongoing profit-sharing arrangement, no territory restrictions on the branding, and no requirement to buy supplies exclusively from us. You're a business owner, not a franchisee. You can even brand your machine under your own business name, logo, and color scheme.
The 99 Spoons soft serve vending machine requires very little: a standard 110V electrical outlet (the same outlet used for appliances in any home or office), approximately 10 square feet of floor space, and no plumbing whatsoever — the machine is fully self-contained. No buildout, no contractor, no expensive infrastructure upgrades. Our installation team handles all setup logistics and will confirm your site is ready before delivery. The machine is NSF certified for commercial food service compliance, making it eligible for placement in regulated environments like hospitals and schools.
Earnings vary significantly by location, foot traffic, and price point — but soft serve ice cream carries excellent margins, and our machines operate 24/7 without labor costs eating into revenue. Operators in high-traffic venues report strong daily transaction volumes. Because you keep 100% of gross revenue (minus only the $49/month software fee and your supply costs), your profit margin is substantially higher than any franchise model. During your discovery call, we'll walk you through realistic projections based on real operator data from comparable locations in our network.
