Operating System for Franchise Operations
ScienceScoopOS is the command center for running Sub Zero's 50+ franchise locations — from location performance and franchisee onboarding to catering pipelines and STEM program tracking. Built for the founder who runs an empire, not a single store.
"Armed with a chemistry degree, Jerry Hancock wanted to build an ice cream store that would excite the imagination of a generation."
Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream isn't just about ice cream. It's about the moment a customer watches liquid cream transform into frozen dessert with liquid nitrogen — that instant of wonder, science, and delight. That moment is the product. ScienceScoopOS is the operating system that keeps that moment running at scale.
The Scale of the Operation
The LN₂ Experience
Customers choose their base, select from 35+ flavors, add mix-ins, and watch the liquid nitrogen do the rest. In under two minutes, a personalized ice cream emerges — smoother, denser, creamier than anything from a freezer case.
The process isn't just marketing. It's the core patent. And it means every location has to execute with precision, or the science doesn't work.
Original cream, custard, low-fat, yogurt, lactose-free, vegan almond milk, or sugar-free
35+ all-natural flavors from chocolate caramel amaretto to raspberry lemon cheesecake
Candy, nuts, fruit, baked goods — anything from cookies to coconut
Liquid nitrogen at -321°F flash-freezes the creation in seconds. Fog rolls. Ice cream forms.

Jerry Hancock built a company on chemistry, passion, and the refusal to settle for ordinary ice cream. ScienceScoopOS is the operating layer that ensures that vision runs at the scale it deserves.
