Party Machine Hire Software for Australia.

Built for you

Built for every kind of popcorn & slushie machine hire business

Two parties, one slushie machine, one Saturday

The second booking is refused by the page rather than by you on the phone, because the machine went out on the first one on Friday night.

A school fete wanting three machines

One booking covering all three with the consumables on it, so the quote to the P&C is the whole job rather than three separate hires.

The sugar, the cups and the cones

Consumables sit on the booking as their own options, so what leaves the shed matches what was paid for and nothing is remembered later.

A machine back sticky on Sunday

The clean-down sits between hires as time you cannot book over, so nothing goes out on Monday that has not been washed out properly.

A backyard twenty-first over the Christmas break

A hire window that spans two days is one booking at one price, rather than two overnights nobody can work out how to charge for.

The customer who wants it dropped off

Delivery and collection are priced options on the hire, so the drive is charged or waived on purpose rather than absorbed every time.

A netball club that hires every home game

Put the Saturday hire on repeat with an end date at the close of the season, rather than taking the same phone call fourteen times.

A machine that comes back broken

Mark it as unavailable and the page stops offering it, so the next Saturday is not sold on a machine that is waiting on a part.

A late return that eats the next hire

The timeline shows what has not come back, so the Sunday afternoon booking is rung about that morning rather than discovered at four.

Built around the machine, not the party.

A backyard twenty-first, a school fete wanting three machines, and the two birthdays that both want the slushie one on the same Saturday.

  • Options, with Pro

    Price the machine, the consumables and the delivery as separate options on one hire, and put a regular school booking on repeat. Repeats sit on Free; card payment at booking comes with Pro.

Schedule

Deliveries, collections and the wash between

The drop, the pick-up and the strip-down all sit in the day, so a machine that has been full of red syrup in the sun is genuinely out of service until it has been through rather than promised to a Sunday.

The machine and the consumables together

Cups, syrup, corn and oil are priced lines with quantities on the same order, so the customer picks how much they need and what goes on the truck matches what was paid for.

Get paid

The ones that never came home

The collection is created with the delivery so it exists as a stop from the start, and the hire carries a return date that raises an email rather than relying on someone remembering in March.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for popcorn & slushie machine hire businesses

A hire is a window with a wash on the end

The machine leaves Saturday and is back Sunday, and it is not hireable again until the sugar is out of it. That last part is real work.

  • The window is the productTwo days out is one booking at one price, so nobody is trying to work out how to charge an overnight and a bit on the back of an envelope.
  • The clean-down is not free timeLeave the turnaround in your availability and the page will not sell across it, so a machine never goes out on Monday still sticky from Sunday.
  • You can see what is on the roadOne timeline shows what has gone out and what is due back, so a late return is a phone call on Sunday morning and not a surprise at four.

You own three, not unlimited

The whole business is a shed with a countable number of machines in it, and the page has to know that number before a Saturday does.

  • Booking stops at the last oneSay how many of each you own and the page closes when they are all out, so the second party is turned away before it becomes your problem.
  • A cancellation puts it back inA hire dropping out on Thursday makes that machine available again, so a weekend freed up early can still be sold while it is still a weekend.
  • A broken one comes off the pageMark a machine unavailable while it waits on a part and it stops being offered, rather than being sold and remembered about on Friday night.

Families pay now, schools pay after

A parent booking a birthday on Sunday night should pay then. A school fete is a purchase order and an invoice, and always has been.

  • Card as they bookThe customer pays the full hire on the page, so a Saturday machine is held by somebody who has committed rather than somebody who rang. That is Pro.
  • Cash on collection, written on by handSomebody paying cash when they pick the machine up is recorded against the booking and the record balances, on any plan, at no cost.
  • Split a school bookingPart now and the balance after the fete, each with its own due date, set on the booking record once the arrangement is agreed. That is Pro.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your popcorn & slushie machine hire business.

Online booking

Your own page hiring the machine for a window rather than an hour, with the cups, the sugar and the delivery added to it as options.

Scheduling

Every hire on one timeline with drop-offs and collections marked, so you can see what is out on the road and what is back in the shed.

Capacity that holds

Say how many of each machine you own and booking stops when the last one is out, so a slushie machine is never promised to two parties.

Email reminders

A confirmation when it is booked and a reminder before the day, both carrying the collection time, because a late return is the next hire.

Customers

Every school, club and family that hires from you, with what they took and when, so the fete in March is rebooked from the last one.

Estimates

Three machines, the consumables and the delivery on one itemised quote for a school, with the version they accepted kept on the booking.

Team

Whoever runs the drops gets their own login and their own hours, so a Saturday morning run only lands on somebody actually working.

Payments

Take the hire by card as it is booked, or send a school one payment request afterwards. Cash is recorded by hand; cards come with Pro.

Common questions.

Yes. A hire is a window, so Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon is one booking at one price rather than two separate overnights.

Say how many of each you own. Booking stops when the last one is out, so a second party is turned away by the page rather than by you.

On the booking, as their own priced options, so what leaves the shed matches what was paid for and nothing is added up from memory later.

Yes. Leave the turnaround in your availability and the page will not sell over it, so nothing goes out that has not been washed properly.

Yes. The organiser holds the booking and one payment request goes to the school afterwards, rather than somebody paying on the day.

Mark it unavailable and it stops being offered, so the next Saturday is not sold on a machine that is still waiting on a part.
