Chocolate Fountains - Competitive Analysis

There are many companies out there offering chocolate fountains. It can make choosing the right one for you seem difficult. After all, especially on the internet, they all look pretty much the same. Companies like Sephra® and Buffet Enhancements® all seem to make many of the same claims. So how do you know that a DR™ chocolate fountain is the right choice for you? Consider the following:

One of the first things you’ve probably looked at when weighing your options was price. Clearly, a fountain that will fit in your budget without sacrificing quality is the best way to go. DR™ is the 'original chocolate fountain manufacturer, hence "Original Chocolate Fountain™ designation, and the only company with long term chocolate fountain design and manufacturing experience. DR™ has figured out how to streamline the manufacturing process to bring you premium quality, at the lowest prices. Unlike competitor chocolate fountain companies like Sephra® or Buffet Enhancements®, DR™ designs and manufacturers chocolate and pastry equipment. This is their expertise.

DR™ has such expertise in crafting chocolate fountains that the competitors used to buy their fountains from TCF and resell them. Even today, competitors like Buffet Enhancements® and Sephra® outsource their work. Maybe that seems like a trivial distinction but hands-on input into the design and manufacturing process of DR™ chocolate fountains has resulted in extremely durable equipment and engineering that can react to market needs and desires. 

Because of DR™'s extensive experience, the number of moving parts has been minimized and weight has been significantly reduced attributing to the products overall quality. As a result, DR™ chocolate fountains are proportionate in size, extremely durable and simple to use, without worry of ever burning your chocolate.

There are no plastic parts on DR™ chocolate fountains and the quality is evident. Constructed of 304 gauge food-grade stainless steel, DR™ fountains are attractive and can operate for many hours. Casinos, restaurants with buffets, and others who have the need for long term chocolate fountain use (8+ hrs. a day) benefit from DR™ design features.

DR™ fountains are user friendly. The newer models have self-leveling tiers as a permanent feature. There’s no need to fuss with pins and adjustments or flexible bands that can break or disappear. With DR™ fountains, you just place the tiers on the fountain and they’ll be perfectly level every time. DR™ chocolate fountains are easy to clean. The top simply goes into your dishwasher. Plus, DR™ fountains are the only chocolate fountains that feature a patented drain. Not even Buffet Enhancements® or Sephra™ offer drains in their chocolate fountain machines. Imagine trying to clean a chocolate fountain while it still has chocolate in it. It is possible but a drain makes cleanup much easier, quicker, and less messy. Women especially love the DR™ chocolate fountain drain.

Service to you doesn’t stop when you receive your fountain. We offer a 24 hour hotline to provide you with assistance, whether it’s minutes after you received your fountain or half an hour into the biggest function of the year. TCF is DR™’s primary distribution and repair center in the U.S., so if anything ever does go wrong, we have the knowledge and the capacity to fix it, and quickly.

Other features exclusive to DR™ fountains are dedicated to saving you time and money, and making your life easier. Our Med/Large (pronounced 'med'- large) fountain offers you two height options, giving you the benefit of two fountains for the price of one. This is a feature exclusive to DR™ – neither Buffet Enhancements® or Sephra® offer a 2-in-1 fountain. DR's™ innovative drip guard, called a SplashGuard™, is also unique to DR™, and protects your table cloth and avoids unsightly messes – it can reduce chocolate spillage by up to 95%.

We stock a variety of chocolate for chocolate fountains. We do not offer pre-mixed chocolate because it is typically already mixed with a thinning ingredient like vegetable oil which can give an unpleasantly oily or greasy taste and texture. The process of thinning chocolate on your own is simple and inexpensive, and gives you control over how you want your chocolate to look, feel and taste. We offer you delicious tasting chocolate fountain chocolate options with couverture, compound chocolate and compound coatings. Flavors and colors are available too giving you even more flexibility with holiday and special event planning. Imagine a green chocolate fountain for St. Patrick's Day, or a red mint flavored chocolate fountain for Christmas, or a hot pink chocolate fountain for a Sweet 16 party.

 If you want a commercial Chocolate Fountain that has been engineered to be the most reliable, easiest to use, at the best price, then it’s easy to see why DR™ is the best choice for you.
