CAFE & RESTAURANTS

expand your dessert range & fwip up your revenue in seconds

cafes & bakeries

expand your menu. enjoy a tasty return

What do all great cafes & bakeries have in common? They offer great quality products matched only by great quality service. Now what if you could add dozens of new great quality products and combinations to your dessert offering with one iconic machine - the Portobello. Even better, what if you could deliver it to your customers 10x faster than it takes to make a cappuccino. Now that’s one magic bambino!

restaurants & casual dining

sweet desserts. even sweeter profits

Fast casual or fine dining? Great eateries create an atmosphere that’s unique. And a menu to match! fwip sparks the imagination at the push of a button. Loved by chefs, staff and servers alike for its one-button serve and simplicity, every location from noodle bars to French bistros can offer a Michelin-star dessert menu with the Portobello.

bars & pubs

scoop up extra revenue. cheers to that

Speed, space, service, simplicity and some sex appeal. No, we’re not selling you on the perks of online dating here. It’s all about Friday night lights and evening pub delights when the Portobello is invited to the party. Bars, Gastropubs & Beer Gardens (funny outfits optional) have been innovating with fwip for years - the ‘frojito’, the ‘cosmofwip’ - if you don’t invent it, chances are your customers will. The only thing better than a good drink? No, not two drinks (but good guess). Ice cream (on top of a beer?) We don’t stop innovating - and neither should you.

AWARD-WINNING
ICE CREAM
MADE EASY

360 branded
freezer
This isn’t just any old freezer - it’s an auto-defrost, fully branded, fan-assisted ‘tank’ of a unit that will do you good day and night. Fully branded and looking great from every angle, the fwip freezer adds 360 degrees of visibility and product promotion - the perfect attention grabber and product showstopper.
Fwip white
door freezer
Our standard pack comes with a fwip white door freezer which can hold up to 144 capsules and ensures that they all have the exact temperature and quality required. For added impact, why not upgrade to a fwip premium glass door freezer? It not only looks great, but it also allows you to easily keep an eye on stock levels.
simple one touch operation
From zero to fwip in under 10 seconds, The Portobello lets you create an Italian gelato, sorbet or frozen yogurt at the push of a button. Self-serve or staff serve, the easy-to-use single button allows for hands-free delivery - freeing you up to collect payment or handle multiple orders at once.
quick & easy
product loading
Easier than playing with LEGO (and less painful if you step on one!), the Portobello’s innovative capsule loading system makes serving ice cream a breeze. Slide open the drawer, pop in your chosen capsule, push the button and watch the magic. One more deft push & pull with your wrist and you’ve sent it through to the recycling bin below. Same flavour or a different one - ready when you are!
built in waste
collection
The joy of recycling has never been so easy. The Portobello has a built-in waste collection designed to automatically collect up to 10-12 capsules before it needs to be emptied. This simple solution is the perfect way to keep your space clean and clear. When the unit is full just pop off the back, lift out the capsules and drop them straight into your recycling.
premium glass
door freezer
Like Batman and Robin, The Portobello has its own partner in crime, the fwip Freezer. Together, they make sure that every fwip capsule is carefully stored, ready to create that perfect fwip moment anytime. It holds 126 capsules, maintains exact temperature and quality, you’ll never have to defrost it and the glass front showcases the flavours to your customers.
EASY CLEAN.
NO MESS.
“I’d rather stay here and clean equipment instead of going to the beach” said no one ever. That’s why we’ve designed the Portobello to be as quick and easy to clean as possible. Cleaning the unit takes just a few minutes, - follow the 5 steps in 5 minutes and you’re good to go. To the beach. Or somewhere else. Boom!
200 degree
swivel base
Running a business, we know that you have to be flexible. Like an Olympic gymnast, we designed the Portobello with the ability to rotate 200 degrees. Why? To let you place it front and center facing the customer with the ability to "Swivel & Serve". This simple manoeuvre can lead to over 300% increases in sales compared to having it on a back counter. Now that's what we call a perfect "10" on the judges scorecards!

Simon, Manager Chatime Bubble Tea House
London, England
London, EnglandRead the case study

Speedy service is part of Chatime Bubble Tea House’s brand identity. When looking for a dessert option to complement its popular beverages, Chatime was drawn to fwip’s gelato and froyo ranges. But it was fwip’s super sleek, fast serving, low maintenance Portobello machine that sealed the deal, giving customers another occasion to come back to Chatime - often the same day!

What our customers are saying

We have boosted dessert sales by £30,501 a year since partnering with fwip

Tomomi Tanaka, Manager Kintan
London, England
London, EnglandRead the case study

Desserts are a nice-to-have. At the Kintan restaurant, they have to be perfect. They need to complement the fantastic menu on offer to make the entire meal memorable. That’s why Kintan chose fwip’s all-natural “froyo” when the time came to expand the dessert range. Light yet indulgent, fwip adds to the quality of the whole experience without the calories. Complemented with nothing more than a sweet mango coulis topping - heaven in a spoonful!
