Party Machine Hire Software for the UK.
You are not hiring out an hour. The machine goes out on Saturday and comes back sticky, and it is not hireable again until somebody has washed it.

Online booking
They book the weekend, not an hour
The page hires the machine from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, with the cones and the sugar added to the same booking as options.
Learn moreOne live timetable
What is out, and what is due back
Every hire on one timeline with the drop-offs and collections marked, so you know what is still in the unit before agreeing to anything.

Built for every kind of popcorn & slushie machine hire business
Two parties after one slush machine
The page declines the second because the machine went out on Friday evening, which spares you the call and the apologetic explanation.
A summer fête wanting three machines
One booking covering all three with the consumables on it, so the quote to the committee is the whole job rather than three separate ones.
The sugar, the cones and the cups
Consumables are priced options on the hire, so what leaves the unit is what was paid for and nothing is reconstructed from memory later.
A machine back sticky on Sunday evening
The clean-down sits between hires as time nothing can be booked into, so no machine goes out on Monday half done from the weekend.
A christening running across two days
Out Saturday and back Sunday is one booking at one price, rather than an overnight that nobody can work out how to charge for.
The customer who wants it delivered
Delivery and collection are their own priced options, so the drive is charged or waived deliberately rather than quietly absorbed.
A cricket club hiring every home fixture
Set the Saturday hire to repeat with an end date at the close of the season, rather than taking the same call fourteen times over.
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 eating into Sunday
The timeline shows what has not come back, so the afternoon hire is rung about that morning rather than discovered at four o’clock.
Built around the machine, not the party.
A christening, a summer fête after three machines, and the two birthdays that both want the slush machine on the same Saturday.
Options, with Pro
Price the machine, the consumables and the delivery as separate options on one hire, and set a school’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.

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
The hire ends with a wash, not a drop
It goes out on Saturday and comes back on Sunday, and it is not hireable again until the sugar is out of it. That never reaches the diary.
- The window is the thing being soldTwo days out is one booking at one price, so nobody is working out how to charge for an overnight and a bit while the customer waits.
- Turnaround is not spare timeKeep the clean-down in your availability and the page will not sell across it, so no machine leaves on Monday half done from Sunday night.
- You can see what is on the roadOne timeline shows what has gone out and what is due in, so a late return is a call on Sunday morning rather than a surprise at four.
You own three, not an unlimited number
This is a unit with a countable number of machines in it. The page ought to know that number before a busy Saturday discovers it.
- Booking closes at the last machineSay how many you own and the page shuts when they are all out, so the second party is turned away before it has become your problem.
- A cancellation puts one backA hire dropping out on the Thursday frees that machine again, so a weekend that opened up early is still sellable while it is ahead of you.
- A broken one comes off the pageMark it unavailable while it waits on a part and nobody can book it, rather than it being sold and remembered about on Friday evening.
Families pay now, schools pay after
A parent booking a birthday late on a Sunday should pay then. A school fête 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 merely enquired. That is Pro.
- Cash on collection, recorded 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 hire in twoPart now and the balance after the fête, each with its own due date, set against the booking record once the committee has agreed. Pro.

Capacity that holds
Say how many of each machine you own and booking closes 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 carrying the collection time, because a late return is the next 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.
Say how many you own. Booking closes when the last one is out, so a second party is turned away by the page rather than by you.
On the booking as priced options, so what leaves the unit matches what was paid for and nothing is added up from memory afterwards.
Yes. Leave the turnaround in your availability and nothing is sold across it, so no machine goes out that has not been washed properly.
Yes. The organiser holds the booking and a single payment request goes to the school afterwards, rather than cash changing hands 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 turn up.
