The Ice Cream Business Package, Fully Costed (Philippines, 2026)
Here is the direct answer. A day-one soft serve consumables package — three flavours of premix powder, 500 sugar cones, sprinkles and a kilo of chocolate syrup — costs ₱1,620 at the prices published on kremecity.com.ph, checked September 2026. Powder starts at ₱195 per kilo (Kreme City Ube premix), roughly ₱4 of powder per 100 ml serving. Add a machine and the fully worked setup example on our tools hub lands at ₱283,500, with total food cost of ₱17 per serving and a ₱48 contribution at a ₱65 selling price — about ₱81,400 a month at 60 servings a day, a 3.5-month payback.
And the honest part most package pages skip: Kreme City does not sell a boxed “ice cream business package” as a single product. We sell the 347 individually priced items a package is made of. This page assembles it line by line at live published prices — and says plainly that the one item you mostly cannot buy off the website today is the machine.
Why most business-package offers never show you this table
Search “ice cream business package” and you will find pages listing inclusions — machine, powder, cones, “free training” — with one bundled price and no line items, so you cannot tell what the powder costs per kilo or what you are really paying for the machine. Every line below except the machine is a product you can open on kremecity.com.ph right now and buy with no minimum online order.

Two honest notes. The Kreme City premix line has nine flavours published at ₱195 to ₱245 per kilo; at the September 2026 check, seven show in stock online and two (Hokkaido and Cheesecake) do not. And the stock column is a snapshot, not a promise — confirm before you travel or order. Browse the Kreme City soft serve premix category and the wider ice cream supplies category.
The machine: the one gap we will not paper over
Kreme City lists exactly one soft serve machine on the website — the Gelprom GP 300 DC/T-AP at ₱364,000 — and as of September 2026 it is marked out of stock online. Machines are quoted by the branch. For orientation, the published configurations worked through on our tools hub run from ₱102,000 (Friggo TC03) up to ₱379,000, with the air-pump Gelprom GP100 AP at ₱276,000; if a quote lands far outside that band, ask why. Get the machine quotation in writing from the branch, then build the consumables package below around it.
Three ways to build the package: entry, standard, premium
Each tier is three kilos of powder (three flavours) plus cones, toppings and sauce — roughly 156 servings, using the yield math our live cost guide publishes: at 30% overrun and a 100 ml serving, one kilo of premix yields about 52 servings.
| Tier | Powders (1kg each) | Everything else | Package total | Powder cost per serving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry — ₱1,620 | Kreme City Ube ₱195, Vanilla ₱210, Chocolate ₱245 | Sugar Cone Jr 500s ₱675, sprinkles ₱95, ACC chocolate syrup ₱200 | ₱1,620 | about ₱3.75–4.70 |
| Standard — ₱2,160 | Topmix Creamy Vanilla ₱315, Topmix Ube ₱310, Topmix Swiss Chocolate ₱350 | Sugar Cone Jr 500s ₱675, sprinkles ₱95, chocolate chips ₱160, Fresco caramel fudge ₱255 | ₱2,160 | about ₱6.00–6.75 |
| Premium — ₱2,655 | Supreme Vanilla ₱440, Supreme Cookies and Cream ₱360, Supreme Matcha ₱410 | Sugar Cone Jr 500s ₱675, chocolate chips ₱160, Fresco chocolate fudge ₱350, crushed cookies ₱260 | ₱2,655 | about ₱6.90–8.50 |
In plain numbers: on the entry tier, powder at ₱195–245 a kilo comes to roughly ₱4 a serving, a cone adds ₱1.35, and the tools hub’s full food-cost figure — powder, cone, toppings, consumables together — is ₱17 per 100 ml serving. Sell at ₱65 and each serving contributes ₱48. The premium tier roughly doubles powder cost per serving to about ₱7–8.50 yet moves total food cost by only a few pesos — the machine, not the powder, is where the capital sits. And nothing stops you mixing tiers: Kreme City Ube at ₱195/kg as the volume flavour, one Supreme flavour as the premium item on the board.
Is an ice cream business profitable?
Here is the arithmetic, with its inputs shown. The published example on our tools hub: ₱65 a serving × 60 a day on ₱283,500 capital ≈ ₱81,400 a month, a 3.5-month payback, at ₱17 food cost per serving.
What the arithmetic also says: profitability is mostly a volume question, not a margin question. At 30 servings a day, the same setup takes roughly twice as long to pay back. Three things kill soft serve profit in practice: too few daily servings for the capital spent, mix and overrun errors that quietly raise cost per serving, and machine downtime — a machine that will not freeze on a 34°C afternoon earns nothing, which is why we published a soft serve troubleshooting guide for exactly that failure. Run your own price, volume and machine quote through the soft serve profit calculator; rent, staffing and permits vary too much by site for any package page to promise you a payback date.
Why build the package at a branch you can walk into
The case for a stocked retail branch over a quote-only distributor is uncertainty reduction, not price hype:
- Published prices, no minimum online order. Every figure here is a posted price, and you can buy one kilo to test before you buy twenty.
- Stock you can see. Two branches — 244 5th Ave, Grace Park East, Caloocan and Talon Singko, Las Piñas — open Monday to Saturday from 8 AM (Caloocan closes 6 PM, Las Piñas 5 PM, closed Sunday). Volume and wholesale pricing is quoted at the branch.
- Same-day dispatch. Orders confirmed by the 4:30 PM cutoff dispatch same day; Metro Manila same-day delivery runs via Lalamove, Grab Express or Borzo booked by the buyer, nationwide via CaPEx, AP Cargo, trucking, bus or drop-off with charges on the buyer. Payments: BDO, Security Bank, GCash, Maya, Palawan Express.
- Judge us with a checklist. Before committing to any supplier — including us — work through the 12 questions to ask an ice cream and milk tea supplier.
Before you commit
- Count your realistic daily servings honestly. The 60-a-day example is a busy, well-located stand. If your honest number is 25–30, the same capital takes roughly twice as long to come back — decide with that number, not the brochure number.
- Get the machine quotation in writing from the branch — the largest line by far, and the one this page cannot price off the website.
- Price your day-one consumables from the live catalog. ₱1,620 buys the entry tier above; re-price it yourself before ordering, because catalog prices move.
- Run the numbers on the soft serve profit calculator with your own selling price and volume.
- Still choosing your negosyo? Compare ice cream, milk tea and coffee on our business decision tools hub, or read the milk tea startup cost guide — a milk tea opening order starts around ₱3,000–4,000, a different capital shape entirely.
To reserve or cost a package, message the Caloocan branch on Messenger (m.me/kremecitysuppliescaloocan) or email info.caloocan@kremecity.com with your target menu and daily volume; we will cost your opening order line by line.
Frequently asked questions
What is included in an ice cream business package?
There is no single boxed SKU. A working package is premix powder, cones, toppings, sauce, cups and spoons, plus the machine. Assembled from the live Kreme City catalog at September 2026 prices, the consumables side runs ₱1,620 (entry tier, three flavours plus 500 cones, sprinkles and syrup) to ₱2,655 (premium tier). The machine is quoted separately by the branch.
How much should I budget for the machine in the package?
The configurations published on our tools hub run from ₱102,000 (Friggo TC03) to ₱379,000, with the air-pump Gelprom GP100 AP at ₱276,000. Kreme City lists one machine online, the Gelprom GP 300 DC/T-AP at ₱364,000, marked out of stock as of September 2026 — machine quotations come from the branch, in writing.
Is soft serve ice cream profitable?
The margins are strong: at a ₱65 selling price with ₱17 total food cost per 100 ml serving, each serving contributes ₱48. The published worked example — 60 servings a day on ₱283,500 capital — comes to about ₱81,400 a month, a 3.5-month payback. Profitability fails on volume, not margin: at half the servings, payback roughly doubles, before rent and staffing.
How to start a soft serve ice cream business?
In order: fix your realistic daily servings and selling price, run them through the soft serve profit calculator, get a written machine quotation from a branch, then buy a small day-one consumables set — about ₱1,620 at entry-tier September 2026 prices — and test your recipe and portioning before committing to volume stock. Permits, rent and location are yours to cost locally.
