Party Machine Hire Software for New Zealand.
The machine goes out Saturday and comes back Sunday, sticky. Everything awkward about the week sits in that gap and not in the party itself.

Online booking
They book the weekend, not an hour
The page hires the machine from Saturday morning through to Sunday, with the cups and the sugar going on the same booking as options.
Learn moreOne live timetable
What has gone out, what is due in
Every hire on the one timeline with the drops and the pickups on it, so you know what is left in the shed before you answer the phone.

Built for every kind of popcorn & slushie machine hire business
Two parties after the one slush machine
The page turns the second one down because the machine went out Friday night, which saves you the phone call and the awkward apology.
A school gala wanting three machines
One booking for all three with the consumables attached, so the quote to the committee is the whole job rather than three separate hires.
Sugar, cups and cones
The consumables are priced options on the hire, so what goes out of the shed is what was paid for and nothing is added up afterwards.
A machine back sticky on Sunday night
The wash-out sits between hires as time nothing can be booked into, so a machine never leaves on Monday half cleaned from the weekend.
A hire that runs across two days
Out Saturday, back Sunday, one booking at one price, rather than an overnight nobody can work out how to charge for on the spot.
The customer who wants it dropped round
The drop-off and the pickup are their own priced options, so the drive is charged or waived deliberately instead of quietly absorbed.
A rugby club that hires every home game
Set the Saturday hire to repeat and give it an end date at the close of the season, rather than fielding the same call every week.
A machine waiting on a part
Mark it unavailable and it comes off the page, so next weekend is not sold on a machine sitting in the corner with its lid off.
A late return that eats into Sunday
The timeline shows what has not come back yet, so the afternoon hire gets a phone call in the morning rather than a scramble at four.
Built around the machine, not the party.
A twenty-first in the back yard, a school gala after three machines, and two birthdays both wanting the slush one on the same Saturday.
Options, with Pro
Put the machine, the consumables and the drop-off on the hire as separate options, 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.
Instant booking
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.

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
The hire ends with a wash, not a drop
It goes out Saturday, comes back Sunday, and is not hireable again until the sugar is out of it. That last bit never makes the diary.
- The window is what 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 waits on the phone.
- Turnaround is not spare timeKeep the wash-out in your availability and the page will not sell across it, so a machine never leaves on Monday half done from Sunday night.
- You can see the roadOne timeline shows what has gone and what is due in, so a late return is a call on Sunday morning rather than a nasty surprise at four.
You own three, not any number
This is a shed with a countable number of machines in it. The page needs to know that number before a Saturday finds it out for you.
- 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 down before it has become your problem.
- A drop-out goes back in the shedA hire cancelling on Thursday frees the machine again, so a weekend that opened up early is still sellable while it is still 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 night.
Families pay now, schools pay later
A parent booking a birthday at nine at night should pay at nine at night. A school gala is a committee and an invoice, and always was.
- Card at the point of bookingThey pay the full hire on the page, so a Saturday machine is held by somebody who has committed rather than somebody who rang about it. Pro.
- Cash on pickup, put on by handAnybody paying cash when they collect is written onto the booking and the record squares up, on any plan, with nothing to switch on.
- Split a school hireSomething now and the rest after the gala, each with its own due date, set on the booking record once the committee has agreed it. Pro.

Capacity that holds
Tell it how many of each machine you own and booking shuts when the last is out, so the same slush machine is never promised twice over.
Email reminders
A confirmation on booking and a reminder before the day, each carrying the pickup time, because a late return is somebody else’s hire.
Common questions.
Yes. A hire is a window, so out on Saturday and back on Sunday is one booking at one price rather than a pair of overnights.
Tell it how many you own. Booking closes when the last one is out, so the second party is turned down by the page and not by you.
On the booking as priced options, so what leaves the shed matches what was paid for and nothing has to be worked out from memory after.
Yes. Leave the turnaround in your availability and nothing will be sold across it, so no machine goes out still sticky from the last job.
Yes. The organiser holds the booking and one payment request goes to the school afterwards, instead of somebody chasing cash 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.
