Party Machine Hire Software for Ireland.

You are not hiring out an hour. It goes out on the Saturday and comes back sticky, and it is not hireable again until somebody washes it out.

Built for you

Built for every kind of popcorn & slushie machine hire business

Two parties after the one slush machine

The page turns the second down because the machine went out on the Friday, which saves you the call and the apologetic explanation.

A school fair wanting three machines

One booking covering the three with the consumables on it, so the quote to the committee is the whole job and not three separate ones.

A communion on the Saturday

Out in the morning and back the next day as one booking at one price, rather than an overnight nobody can work out how to charge for.

Sugar, cones and cups on the docket

Consumables are priced options on the hire, so what leaves the yard is what was paid for and nothing is pieced together afterwards.

A machine back sticky on the Sunday

Hold the clean-down as time the page cannot sell into, and nothing ever leaves the yard on Monday with the weekend still stuck to it.

The customer who wants it dropped out

The delivery and the collection are their own priced options, so the drive is charged or waived on purpose rather than absorbed.

A GAA club hiring for every home match

Set the Saturday hire to repeat with an end date at the close of the season, rather than taking the same call a dozen times over.

A machine in bits on the bench

Mark it unavailable and it comes off the page, so next weekend is not sold on a machine sitting in the corner with the lid off it.

A late return eating into the Sunday

The timeline shows what has not come back, so the afternoon hire is rung about that morning rather than found out about at four.

Built around the shed, not the party.

A communion, a school fair after three machines, and the two birthdays both wanting the slush machine on the very same Saturday.

  • Options, with Pro

    Price the machine, the consumables and the delivery as separate options on the one hire, and set a club’s regular booking to repeat. Repeats are on Free; taking the card 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

It is not back until it has been washed

Out on the Saturday, back on the Sunday, and not hireable again until the sugar is out of it. That last part never reaches the diary.

  • The window is the thing you sellTwo days out is one booking at one price, so nobody is working out how to charge an overnight and a bit while the customer is on the phone.
  • The turnaround is not spare timeKeep the clean-down in your availability and the page will not sell across it, so no machine leaves on the Monday half done from Sunday.
  • The road is not a mysteryOne timeline shows what has gone and what is due in, so a late return is a call on the Sunday morning rather than a surprise at four.

You own three, not any number at all

This is a yard with a countable number of machines in it. The page ought to know that number before a busy Saturday finds it out.

  • Booking shuts at the last machineSay how many you own and the page closes when they are all out, so the second party is turned away before it has become your problem.
  • A drop-out frees a machineA hire dropping out on the Thursday frees that machine again, so a weekend that opened early is still sellable while it is ahead of you.
  • A broken one leaves the pageMark it unavailable while it waits on a part and nobody can book it, rather than it being sold and remembered about on the Friday.

Parents pay up front, schools get billed

A parent booking a birthday late on the Sunday should pay then. A school fair is a committee and an invoice, and it always has been.

  • The card, as they bookThey pay the full hire on the page, so a Saturday machine is held by somebody committed rather than somebody who only enquired. That is Pro.
  • Cash on collection, put on by handCash handed over at collection is put on the booking there and then and the record balances, on any plan, with nothing to turn on first.
  • Split a school hirePart now and the balance after the fair, each with its own due date, set against the booking record once the committee has agreed. Pro.

One app for every booking

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

Online booking

A page hiring the machine for a window rather than by the hour, with the cones, the sugar and the delivery added on as priced options.

Scheduling

Every hire on the one timeline with the drops and collections marked, so you can see what is out on the road and what is back in the yard.

Capacity that holds

Say how many of each machine you own and booking shuts when the last is out, so a slush machine is never promised to two parties at once.

Email reminders

A confirmation when it is booked and a reminder before the day, each with the collection time on it, 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 next year’s fair is rebooked straight off the last one.

Estimates

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

Team

Whoever does the Saturday run has their own login and their own hours, so a drop only lands on somebody who is genuinely working.

Payments

The card goes through as the hire is booked, or the school gets one request after the fair. Cash is put on by hand; cards come with Pro.

Common questions.

Yes. A hire is a window, so out on the Saturday and back on the Sunday is one booking at one price rather than a pair of overnights.

Say how many you own. Booking closes when the last is out, so the second party is turned away by the page rather than by you on the phone.

On the booking as priced options, so what leaves the yard matches what was paid for and nothing is added up from memory afterwards.

Yes. Keep the turnaround in your availability and the page cannot sell into it, so nothing leaves the yard before it has been washed out.

Yes. One person holds the booking and the school gets a single request once the fair is over, so nobody is counting notes on the day.

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