A commercial popcorn machine is one of the easiest concession stands to run. Plug into a 13A socket, preheat for five minutes, add kernels and oil, and you're serving. The 8oz kettle stands 1.56m tall, so guests can see it across a room, and the smell draws people to the station.
An 8oz kettle produces one batch every three to four minutes. Each batch yields around 8 to 10 portions, depending on bag size. That works out to roughly 15 to 20 portions per hour at steady operation.
For a corporate family day of 200 guests where demand spreads through the day, one machine is enough. For an outdoor cinema where everyone wants popcorn before the film starts, two machines stop a queue forming in the first 20 minutes.
The machine does not come with consumables. Source these separately:
A cash and carry or catering supply company stocks all of these. Budget £15 to £20 in consumables per hour of service.
Place the machine on a stable trestle table away from flammable materials. The tempered glass cabinet lets guests watch the corn pop, which adds to the appeal at family events. After your event, wipe the interior with a damp cloth. The kettle lifts out for cleaning.
The unit measures 0.66m long by 0.375m wide. It shares a 13A circuit with lighting or a fridge without issue.
