Licensing - Your Questions Answered
When it comes to licensing the 3D Chocolate Selfie Station, we understand that you may have questions about various aspects of the process. In this blog post, we aim to address some of the most common inquiries we receive.
I'm Looking to buy machines, how many do I need?
The number of machines you need depends on your business requirements and the scale of events you plan to cater to at the same time or the through put you are aiming for. We offer flexible licensing options to accommodate your specific needs, whether you require a single machine or multiple units for larger operations.
How much will it cost to import?
Import costs vary depending on your location and local regulations. We can provide guidance and support to help you navigate the import process and estimate associated costs.
Are the machines made to order?
Yes, our machines are made to order. Each unit is carefully crafted and tailored to meet our high-quality standards. Hence why ordering 1 machine is more expensive than ordering 3 more.
How will training work for my staff and I?
We provide comprehensive training programs to ensure you and your team are proficient in operating the machines. Training can be conducted either in-person or remotely, depending on your location and preference. We work on the basis that we train one or two people to "master" level and then those people can train staff as and when they are needed.
Can you build us units for the machines to sit on?
Our team can work with you to provide cart designs like the ones we have that align with your branding and operational needs. But you will need to find a local manufacturer to build them.
Will you work on rev share or per unit models?
We offer flexible licensing models. Our team can discuss the specific licensing structure that best suits your business goals.
Do you offer discounts if we buy more machines? Do you offer discounts on software seats as well?
Yes, we provide discounts for multi machine purchases. Additionally, we offer competitive pricing for software seats based on your licensing agreement and requirements. All machines are made to order hence we can pass on savings made from ordering more materials and save money on labour costs to build the machines.
Do you deliver any live events or retail yourself?
No, we focus on providing the technology and support to our licensed partners. We do not directly deliver live events or retail experiences.
Will you send us leads for live events?
We have a network of partners and clients that may have opportunities for live events. While we can provide guidance and advice, lead generation is primarily the responsibility of the licensed partners.
Can we use another 3D scanner?
The 3D Chocolate Selfie Station is designed to work seamlessly with the sense scanning system. While we recommend using that scanner for optimal results, we can discuss compatibility options if you have an existing 3D scanner.
Can you develop a new product for us?
We specialise in the 3D Chocolate Selfie Station, but we're open to discussing custom development projects. Let's explore your requirements and see how we can collaborate to bring your ideas to life.
How big is the lolpop?
The lolpop measures approximately 50x50mm before its carved and can be anywhere from 20x40 to 40x40 when its carved.
How does the supply chain set up work?
We have a guide to take you through the process of sourcing ingredients, packaging, and other necessary materials. Our team will provide support to ensure a smooth supply chain setup for both chocolate and packaging.
Can we make our own moulds?
Currently, the 3D Chocolate Selfie Station works with chocolate made from our proprietary moulds, which are specifically designed for optimal results. If you want to change the shape of the product we will need to change the jig, the software and the packaging along with the actual moulds. So this project would sit in our product development fees category.
How will we maintain our machines?
Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your machines in optimal working condition. We provide guidelines and recommendations for maintenance tasks, and our support team is always available to assist with any technical issues.
Will the machines work without your software subscription?
The machines require our software subscription to operate. The software is essential for generating the 3D models and controlling the milling process.
What is the trough put of the machine?
Each machine has a production capacity of 15 lolpops per hour. We recommend at least 3 machines at an event.
How big are the machines?
Height - 530mm
Width - 350mm
Depth - 465mm
How heavy are the machines?
The weight of the machines is approximately: 27 Kg
