πŸŽ‰ MAJOR SPACEMAN INSTALLATION: EL VIEJO TONY BAR & GRILL πŸŽ‰
Lane Equipment just completed a TRIPLE Spaceman installation at El Viejo Tony Mexican Bar & Grill in Port Arthur!

Three Spaceman machines means:
βœ… Soft serve margaritas that have Port Arthur talking
βœ… Multiple flavor options without sacrificing speed
βœ… Capacity to handle packed weekend crowds
βœ… Backup capability if service is needed

This is what happens when operators get serious about frozen beverage profits. El Viejo Tony didn't settle for one machine – they invested in the capacity to dominate their market.

From consultation to installation to ongoing service support – Lane Equipment handles projects of every size across Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley.
Soft serve margaritas aren't just a Houston trend anymore. They're spreading across Texas, and smart operators like El Viejo Tony are getting ahead of the curve.

MAY ENDS THIS WEEK
June brings the PEAK of Texas summer heat.

Smart operators are doing their final equipment checks NOW before the hottest months hit:
βœ… All frozen beverage equipment tested at full capacity
βœ… Ice machines inspected and cleaned
βœ… Service contracts confirmed and active
βœ… Emergency contact numbers programmed

June, July, and August will test your equipment harder than any other months. The operators who planned ahead will maximize profits. Those who didn't will be calling for emergency service – and waiting.

Lane Equipment's same-day service response across Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley keeps you ahead of problems instead of reacting to them.
Summer peak season is here. Ready or not.

MAY STARTS TOMORROW. Summer equipment failures start in May.
Texas heat is unforgiving on ice machines. The operators who schedule preventive maintenance NOW avoid the operators calling for emergency service in June.

Manitowoc preventive maintenance catches problems before they become breakdowns:
πŸ”§ Cleaning condenser coils before summer heat arrives
πŸ”§ Checking refrigerant levels and connections
πŸ”§ Inspecting water filtration systems
πŸ”§ Testing safety controls and sensors

A $200 maintenance visit in April prevents a $2,000 emergency call in July – plus the revenue you lose while your ice machine is down.
Lane Equipment's factory-trained technicians service Manitowoc equipment across all four Texas locations.
Summer is coming. Get ahead of it.

LET'S TALK REAL PROFIT NUMBERS on soft serve margaritas.

Traditional frozen margarita (blended):
Labor: 2-3 minutes per drink
Inconsistent quality
Equipment wear on blenders
Profit margin: 65-75%

Soft serve margarita (Spaceman):
Labor: 15 seconds per drink
Perfect consistency every time
Minimal equipment wear
Profit margin: 75-85%

The math is simple: Serve 4x more drinks in the same time at higher margins. Houston bars like Dona Leti's figured this out – that's why they're crushing it with Spaceman equipment from Lane Equipment. Your competitors are reading the same articles you are. The question is: who acts first? Lane Equipment – Your authorized Spaceman dealer across Texas.
