New Zealand Jumping Castles From Gala to Dry Return.
A school-gala inflatable and a backyard birthday need different setup and drying time. Keep every castle unavailable until checked.
Start with Google- School galas retain setup time
- Backyard addresses start delivery
- Wet returns remain off the page
- Bank transfer stays with the hire
- Return time remains unavailable
The one hot Saturday in October
The castle is easy. The date is not.
You have plenty of castle. What you only have one of is that Saturday in October. Put your four-hour and all-day blocks on a page at your own prices, so the good dates go once, in writing, instead of being promised on the phone.
Built for the way you hire
Built for every kind of party you turn up to
A school-gala jumping castle
Reserve warehouse loading, delivery, event hours and the dry return inspection.
The backyard birthday inflatable
Keep the street address and chosen compact castle together on the booking.
Rain leaves the obstacle course wet
Extend unavailable time through drying rather than exposing the inflatable too early.
Inspection before the next hirer
The backyard birthday inflatable: hold the jumping castle after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.
The first street address
A school-gala jumping castle: public booking captures one street address; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.
The same weekday hire
Rain leaves the obstacle course wet: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.
Compact jumping castle or larger obstacle inflatable
The backyard birthday inflatable: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.
Bank transfer reaches the office
A school-gala jumping castle: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.
A return needs staff attention
Rain leaves the obstacle course wet: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.
A cancellation returns one jumping castle
The backyard birthday inflatable: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.
Sold as a block, at a number they can see.
A four hour party hire and a full day are two services with their own set prices. A parent picks the one they want off your page and pays exactly what it says.
A set price, not a rate to do maths on
Price the block itself, so what the parent reads before they confirm is what comes off the card. No "from", no working it out on the phone.
Only the days you are genuinely open
The page offers real openings out of your own diary and your own hours, so a Saturday you have already committed is not sitting there looking bookable.
Confirmed now, reminded the day before
A confirmation email goes out as they book and an automatic reminder 24 hours out, so somebody is home and the side gate is unlocked when you pull up.
Ask about the yard, and price the answer.
Grass or pavers changes what you load and what you charge. Ask it as part of the booking, with your own answers and your own prices against them.
Your question, your list of answers
Write it once and list the answers you can genuinely deliver. The customer picks one on the way through rather than ringing to describe the yard.
The answer can move the price and the time
Anchoring on concrete costs you more and takes longer, so put that against the option and the total and the slot both account for it.
The address stays with the customer
The delivery address sits on the booking and on the customer record, so the next party at that house is one whose yard you already know.

Set-up, party, pack-down, one day.
Every leg of the hire sits on the day at the time it actually runs, so the drive from the morning drop to the afternoon pack-down is something you can see before you say yes to the second party.

Only the places worth towing to.
Draw the districts you will drive a trailer into, and a party ninety minutes the wrong way never lands on your Saturday in the first place.
On the way, on site, packed down.
Mark each leg as you work it, so whoever is answering the phone can see where the run is up to without ringing the driver.

The school that books you every October.
A P&C is one customer with a history you can open, so this year's fete starts from last year's order instead of a blank page.
The fete is a quote, not a number read out on the phone.
Three units for the day, an attendant on site and the delivery, itemised on one quote the P&C can take to a meeting.
Signed online, not chased for a week
They accept and sign it on a phone, and you can put options side by side when the committee cannot decide between two units and three.
Accepting puts the day in the diary
The signed quote becomes a booking against that school, with the date held and nothing re-typed.
It expires when you say it does
Put a use-by date on the price so a quote written in March cannot be accepted at that number in the busiest week of October.

A Saturday that is gone should not cost you the party.
When there is honestly nothing left, the family sends the days that would work for them instead of ringing the next mob in the search results.
It lands as a request you answer
Their preferred dates arrive in your inbox and you accept one or decline it without leaving the conversation.
Accepting makes it a booking
It drops onto the day and the confirmation email goes out on its own.
And a cancellation is a real record
When the forecast makes the call for you, the booking is a record you cancel with the customer contactable and the money refundable, not a name in a notebook.
Is there any chance of a castle on the 18th? Otherwise the 25th would work.
Paid before the trailer leaves the yard.
Set a block to pay online and the card is charged as the Saturday is taken, so a peak date you are holding is a date somebody has actually paid for.
Cards come with Pro
Taking the booking, quoting the job and running the day are all on the Free plan. Card payments are the one part that needs Pro.
Or paid after, by request
Some customers cannot put a party on a personal card. Set that service to settle later, send a payment request by email when the day is done, and a receipt goes out when it clears.
Into your own account
The money is paid out to your own Stripe account rather than being held somewhere inside Bookables.
