The numbers your buyers, your drivers and your accounts tend to ask for. Everything here applies to our standard 3-gallon wholesale tub unless noted.
Wholesale deliveries are paused while we apply for our Colorado Dairy Plant License (CDPHE); nothing ships until it is issued. The ordering terms below apply once deliveries resume.

Yield — what a tub gives you
Scoop size
Scoops per 3-gal tub
Notes
4 oz (standard dip)
~85
Allows about 10% for waste and what clings to the tub. Use this for planning.
4 oz (efficient scooping)
~91
Achievable with a trained hand and a disciplined disher.
5 oz (a mounded scoop)
~69
Easy to drift into without meaning to. Costs you roughly 16 servings a tub.
3 oz (kids / flight size)
~115
Useful for tasting flights and childrens portions.
Why this matters to your margin. The difference between a disciplined 4 oz dip and a mounded 5 oz is about 16 servings per tub. Across a busy week that is real money, and it is the single easiest thing to fix at an account that feels like it is not making enough on ice cream. Ask us for a disher recommendation.
