A Hoshizaki ice dispenser can be a great option for establishments requiring ice for staff or guests. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, office buildings, and other commercial businesses can find a suitable model for their needs, whether it's a Hoshizaki countertop ice maker and water dispenser for office workers or a large Hoshizaki ice and water machine that produces hundreds of pounds of ice a day for a high-volume restaurant or hospital.
It's important to determine the amount of ice your establishment will need before purchasing a Hoshizaki ice dispenser. Although this is dependent on your business type and how often the machine is used, Hoshizaki estimates hotels use about 5 pounds of ice per room per day, while hospital cafeterias use about 1 pound per person per day. This can also be affected by the type of ice you wish to provide. Though the majority of Hoshizaki ice dispensers provide soft, chewable nugget ice, some make crescent cubes instead.
Bin capacities range from 10 to 200 pounds, and machines with ice-making capabilities, production can range from 257 to 782 pounds per 24 hours.

Machines dispense ice using either push buttons, levers, or hands-free sensors. A Hoshizaki countertop ice maker with a built-in water dispensers is an excellent choice for most office settings.
