Commercial Ice Machines for South Tampa, Hyde Park & SoHo
Rental from $160/month · PM $295/visit · For repairs, request a written repair quote
South Tampa brunch crowds on S Howard Ave, happy hour in SoHo, patio tables around Hyde Park Village and dinner service off MacDill and Swann put different demands on ice equipment. Crystal Ice rents, cleans and repairs commercial machines for South Tampa operators, from Bayshore to Palma Ceia.
Why South Tampa operators consider leasing
Tight SoHo kitchens, shared bar walls and older buildings can run hot. A Saturday slowdown still needs a contingency plan; rental covers service costs but cannot promise zero downtime.
Rental starts at $160/month and includes the machine, installation, standard scheduled PM every 6 months and repair parts/labor. Two months are paid up front, then it is month-to-month. No setup or installation fee; free pickup on cancellation. If repair becomes unsuitable, discuss replacement arrangements and availability; no guaranteed replacement or uninterrupted ice.
We confirm your price in writing after a free on-site walk-through assessing space, drain, water line and busiest-day ice use.
Ice that matches the bar program
Cocktail bars around Howard and Hyde Park care about ice taste and appearance as well as volume. Cloudy, soft or off-tasting cubes can have several causes, including scale, filtration or equipment condition; do not assume cleaning alone fixes them. Do not serve suspect ice.
PM costs $295/visit on a machine you own; standard scheduled PM is included with rental. A visit includes deep sanitizing of water-contact surfaces, scale removal, a mechanical inspection, a filter check and service paperwork. Standard scheduled PM is every 6 months. Follow manufacturer instructions and clean sooner if conditions warrant; more frequent needs are assessed individually. Paperwork documents maintenance, not a guaranteed inspection result.
Discuss water filtration suitability and scope during assessment. No particular filtration add-on or monthly fee is promised.
