Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Regency Hotel in Bath needed to refresh its Sunday brunch buffet to compete with local restaurants. They decided to invest in a centrepiece that would create a buzz and  chose the JM Posner SQ1 fountain for catering to add a touch of interactive luxury.

"The fountain has been a phenomenal success. It's the first thing people talk about when they see the buffet. It's incredibly reliable, runs smoothly for the entire service, and  the feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive. It looks professional and  performs just as well."

Michael Davies – Food & Beverage Manager

Since its introduction, the hotel has reported a 30% increase in Sunday brunch bookings and  has made the chocolate fountain a signature part of its offering.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always place the fountain on a completely level and  stable surface to ensure an even chocolate cascade.
  • Pre-melt your chocolate in a microwave or bain-marie before adding it to the bowl for the best results.
  • Ensure the unit is switched on to heat for 5 minutes before adding the chocolate and  starting the motor.
  • Don't overfill! Stick to the 3kg maximum capacity for a smooth, consistent flow.

Keeping It Going

  • After use, pour out any excess chocolate while it's still liquid.
  • The bowl is removable but MUST be washed by hand. Do not place it in a dishwasher.
  • Wipe down the tiers and  central column with a warm, damp cloth and  food-safe sanitiser.
  • Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to maintain its pristine condition.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Chocolate Fountain

Not sure which fountain fits your needs? Here are a few key things to consider to make the right choice for your business.

Capacity vs. Guest Count

Match the fountain's chocolate capacity to your typical event size. The SQ1's 3kg capacity is perfect for parties of 20-40, ensuring the fountain looks full and  flows well.

Tiers and  Visual Impact

The number of tiers affects the height and  overall 'wow' factor. A 4-tier model like this creates a fantastic cascading effect that makes a brilliant centrepiece.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like removable bowls and  simple construction. A fountain that's easy to take apart will save you a huge amount of time and  effort post-event.

Build Quality and  Material

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's hygienic, durable, easy to clean, and  provides a professional look that fits any setting.

Power and  Portability

Check that the fountain uses a standard plug (like the 13-amp plug on this model) and  consider its weight if you plan on transporting it to different venues.

Safety Features

A commercial unit should have safety features like an automatic cut-out. This protects the motor and  gives you peace of mind during long events.
