We know ice cream from behind the counter.

Der Süße Stopp is Zoran Obradović’s company in Pertisau at the Achensee. At our kiosk on the lakeside promenade we have sold soft serve ourselves for six seasons, and in 2026 gelato with Miles for a whole season too. What we recommend to businesses, we have tried ourselves first.

Guests at our kiosk on the lakeside promenade in Pertisau

Zoran Obradović

Zoran has spent his whole working life in hospitality, in operations and in management, including fine dining. For six seasons he has stood behind the counter of his own soft serve kiosk at the Achensee. There he has operated, cleaned and compared many machines and products himself, on hot days, with long queues and a small team.

Today he brings this know-how to other businesses: as the official Nissei distribution partner for Austria, Slovenia and the Balkans, with Spaceman for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and with partners such as Miles, CAB, NIC, GelDue, NAC and LiquidBeans.

“I know these machines the way a racing driver knows his car.”Zoran Obradović

What we learned behind our own counter

01
Water beats air when it gets hot.
On hot afternoons we had three air-cooled machines running flat out, and they still could not keep up. One water-cooled Nissei outperformed all three under the same conditions.

02
Do not wait with pasteurisation.
Without pasteurisation we cleaned every few days and lost mix every time. According to the maker, a pasteurising Nissei only needs dismantling every six weeks. Today we advise not to wait.

03
Gelato works without a lab.
In 2026 we used Miles for the whole season: ready base, water, plus paste or fresh fruit. Easy to operate, easy to clean.

04
The crêperie became a soft serve kiosk.
We actually wanted to open a crêperie. Then soft serve became our main product. The crêpes stayed, and together they are still our favourite dessert.

What we stand for

We only recommend what we know.Machines and mixes we have used ourselves or seen at work with partners.
First the conversation, then the quote.Price on request, because every quote depends on model, equipment and use.
We sell, we do not rent.A machine is an investment for years. We do not offer rental.
The know-how is part of it.Settings, cleaning, portions and selling, on site with you if you like.
Service close by.In our regions with technicians on site; beyond that with partners and remotely.

We officially represent Nissei in Austria, Slovenia and the Balkans, and Spaceman in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We are strongest where our technicians are close by. We also supply many products beyond these regions; then partners help on site and we help remotely.
