Not All Shave Ice Trucks Are Equal

Some trucks hand kids a cup and let them pour their own syrup. We do it differently — and your teachers will thank you.

The Other Guys

  • Kids pour their own syrup — sticky hands everywhere
  • Long lines because each kid takes 2-3 minutes self-serving
  • Teachers have to manage the line and the mess
  • Same cookie-cutter franchise experience everywhere
  • You're a territory number, not a customer
The Friohana Way

Friohana

  • We make every shave ice to order — no mess, no chaos
  • Fast service: we control the pace, kids just pick a flavor
  • Teachers and volunteers can relax and enjoy the event
  • Local family business — featured in Eater Houston
  • You call the owners directly. We know your school by name.

Built for School Events

We've served schools across Houston and Spring ISD. Here's what makes Friohana the better choice for your campus.

Your PTA Earns on Every Cup

We offer a generous giveback percentage on all sales. The more your students buy, the more your school raises. No upfront cost to you — we take the risk.

200+ Students Per Hour

Field days and spirit nights move fast. We serve quickly because we control the pace — no kids fumbling with self-serve machines slowing down the line.

Truck, staff, cups, napkins, flavors, generator — we're 100% self-contained. No power outlets needed, no setup from your volunteers, no cleanup duty.

Fundraiser FAQs

Everything PTA coordinators ask us before booking.

How does the fundraiser giveback work?
Your organization earns a percentage of all shave ice sales at the event. The more students and families who buy, the more you raise. We handle all the sales, tracking, and will provide a summary after the event. There's no upfront cost to your school.
How many students can you serve per hour?
We can serve 200+ students per hour with our full-service setup. Unlike self-serve trucks where each kid takes 2-3 minutes, our trained staff makes each shave ice in about 30 seconds.
Do you need power or water from the school?
No. Our truck is completely self-contained with its own generator and water supply. We just need a parking spot big enough for the truck — usually in the front loop, parking lot, or field area.
How far in advance should we book?
For the best date selection, we recommend 3-4 weeks for spring/fall events. Popular dates like Field Day Friday or end-of-year celebrations book early, so the sooner the better.
Can parents pre-pay so kids don't need cash?
Yes! We can set up a pre-paid system where parents purchase tickets or wristbands in advance through your PTA. Kids just show their wristband at the truck — no cash needed. We also accept card payments at the truck.
What about food allergies?
Our classic flavors are dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free — made from pure cane sugar and filtered water. Our natural fruit flavors are made from real fruit. The sweet cream topping contains dairy and is always optional. We can discuss any specific concerns with your school nurse or administration.
What if it rains?
If severe weather forces a cancellation on the day of, your deposit rolls to a new date within 90 days at no penalty. We're flexible — we know school schedules can be tricky.
