[tinsom]

Does anyone know in Bangkok where I can get a donut making machine

Not the sandwich type

But the real commercial type

Do a Google for: thailand donut machine

"Fun Food Thailand" is one of the places shown, they have two machines, one for baht 95.000, the other for baht 54,500.

OUCH! As much as I like donuts, I'd tend to go on the wagon at that price....

Back in 2006, several of the Tesco-Lotus outlets were making great fresh plain donuts, even better if you were there when they popped out of the hot oil. Sad to say, after perhaps less than a year, the machines disappeared. Wonder if they might still be in their warehouse? Ask.

Donuts are a very high profit item. You're selling a lot of air. The mixes where you add only water are just as good if not better than what you can make.

The four most profitable items as a percentage of gross - not in any particular order - in a restaurant are:

Coffee

American Pancakes (fluffed up style)

Soft ice cream (not real ice cream and made with milk and full of air)

Cake donuts such as shown in the machine. (As opposed to yeast raised donuts which are labor and time intensive.)

I don't think that machine is expensive based on what it is and what it can do. The question would be sales volume to make it pay.

Any idea which stores had the machines

Doughnuts (sp.) are bad for you! Just say "NO"!

As previously mentioned "Fun Food Thailand". They are pattaya based though.

For Bangkok have a look at this company.
