Permits
Milk retail usually needs registration with the Kenya Dairy Board, a county business permit and a public health inspection of the premises. Staff should have food handler’s certificates. See the KDB licence guide.
Installation Day
- Place the machine with the agreed clearances and level it.
- Let it stand before switching on if it was transported on its side (follow the technician’s guidance).
- Connect to the dedicated socket; check cooling reaches temperature.
- Calibrate the dispenser and test litres dispensed.
- Clean and sanitise before the first milk.
- Train staff on cleaning, payments and daily records.
Location Matters
Installation requirements are the minimum; sales depend on foot traffic. See where to place a milk ATM.
