Who rents commercial ice machines near me in the Bay Area?

Light Soda On Tap is a local, commercial-only provider — no residential or event-only rentals. It has served Bay Area food service operators since 1947, with 2,000+ active customers and $35M+ in inventory. Every rental is delivered, installed, and fully maintained by the local team, not a national call center. When equipment goes down, the company can respond fast because its reputation is built on local service, not call center promises.

What's included in a local ice machine rental?

One flat monthly fee covers:

• Local delivery and professional installation, including water line hookup
• All scheduled preventive maintenance, filter changes, and interior cleaning
• Emergency repair, with same-day service available
• A replacement unit from local inventory if a repair takes time
• One flat monthly invoice — no service call fees, no mileage charges, no repair invoices

Terms are flexible, with no multi-year lock-ins required.

How fast can an ice machine be delivered near me?

Most rentals are delivered and installed within a few business days anywhere in the Bay Area. For urgent situations — like a unit going down mid-service — call (415) 648-6262 directly for same-day emergency repair.

What ice machine brands and types are available?

Light Soda On Tap rents cube, nugget, flake, undercounter, and modular high-volume ice machines from Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, and Ice-O-Matic. Machine sizing depends on daily ice usage — high-volume bars and restaurants typically need larger modular units, while smaller cafés and undercounter setups suit compact machines.

What does an ice machine rental cost?

Pricing depends on machine type and output capacity. A high-output modular machine producing 800–1,000 lbs of ice per day carries a different monthly rate than a compact undercounter unit producing 150–200 lbs per day. A full-service agreement — one that includes delivery, installation, maintenance, and repairs — costs more upfront than a bare-bones lease, but avoids the separate service invoices that come with machine-only rentals. Contact Light Soda On Tap directly for pricing specific to your operation.
