No. For cocktails, Ripples acts as a fast garnish – most garnishes take longer to prepare than our 10-second print, so it speeds up service rather than slowing it down. For Guinness and other slow-settling pours, printing happens in the time the pint takes to settle, adding no extra wait. Bars and restaurants run the Ripple Maker through full peak service without any bottleneck – it becomes part of the workflow, not on top of it.

Most bars and restaurants see the machine pay for itself within 4–6 months – often from just 2–3 extra cocktail sales a day. A signature rippled cocktail or branded coffee at a small premium, served across a full service, covers the investment fast. Some customers report their signature drink becoming their best-seller within weeks.

The Ripple Maker is built for wet bar environments and can sit wherever works best for your team – on the back bar or right on the main bar. Both setups are common among our customers. It has a compact footprint, plugs into a standard socket, connects to Wi-Fi, and lives close to where drinks are finished so your team can print in one smooth step.

Any drink with a stable foam surface – cocktails and mocktails with foam (ripples foamer is a great solution), beer with a proper and durable head, espresso martinis, cappuccinos and lattes, dessert coffee drinks, cold brew with cold foam.

Yes – beer with a dense, creamy head, like Guinness or nitro stouts, prints beautifully. It’s one of our most photographed use cases, especially for sports venues and match-day promotions, and a proven way to boost both beer and cocktail sales.
