FAQ
Do you charge for delivery and pick-up?
We deliver free of charge within 20 minutes, and further than that we charge a small delivery fee according to the distance. If you book a machine attendant or bartender, a travel fee will be added to the invoice if applicable.
Do you offer loyalty rewards?
Yes, we do! We offer loyalty and referral rewards. You must keep track of your rewards and contact us to claim your reward. You may see our rewards Here.
Do you offer military discounts?
Yes, we do! We offer a $10 off discount for veterans, active duty military, and first responders.
Do I need to provide an extension cord?
If an extension cord is needed, we will provide our extension cords and/or multi-contacts, or you may provide your own approved extension cord. The approved extension cords for margarita machines and soft-serve ice cream machines are 10 or 12 AWG no longer than 25'. For the rest of our machines you may use a regular 14 or 16 AWG extension cord.
Do you set up your machines?
We set up the machines to leave them ready for your event, unless you request that we just drop off the machines and you do the set up.
How long is the rental for machines?
Our rentals are for 24 hours. We can pick up our machines the same day if you no longer need them no later than midnight, or the next morning. Same day overnight pick-up between 1:00am - 2:00am is available for an additional fee of $30.
Do we need to clean your machines?
You do not need to clean our machines as the clean up is included in the rental! You may empty the liquid contents if you wish to save it.
Can I pick up the machines instead of having delivery?
We do not allow customers to pick up our machines. We only deliver to the event location.
Is there a discount if I book a machine for multiple days?
Yes! We offer a multi-day discount of 30% off per day which includes necessary extra supplies.
Can I have the machines outdoors?
Most of our machines can both be indoors and outdoors. The only machines that we highly encourage to have indoors are our fountains, such as the chocolate fountain, chamoy fountain, nacho cheese fountain, and champagne fountains. If there is wind, the wind will blow the contents of the fountain away, and there is risk of a fly or a bee getting inside the fountain.
Do you provide the alcohol for margarita machines?
No, we do not provide the alcohol. You will have to buy your own alcohol and you will also have to pour it in the machine, as we do not pour in the alcohol in the mix.
Do I need ice for margarita machines, ice cream machines, or beverages machines?
No, you do not need to add ice to these machines. Our machines will cool or freeze the liquid themselves by setting them to the correct temperature.
Do you provide the ice for the snow cones machine?
No, we do not provide the ice. You will have to buy your own ice. We recommend regular ice cubes.
Can I use my own mix when renting a margarita machine or ice cream machine?
Yes, you may use your own mix as long as you properly follow the mixing instructions of the mix. Failure to properly follow the mixing instructions may cause the liquid to over freeze and may damage our machines, which then you will be held responsible. By using your own mix, you will have to fully rinse our machines.
The power went out when using a margarita machine or an ice cream machine. What do I do?
Margarita machines and soft-serve ice cream machines are considered high-power. If the circuit is overloaded with power, the breaker will trip and the power will go out. To avoid this, you should not have any other appliances or items connected to the same circuit as our high-power machines. Please reserve one circuit solely for the use of our high-power machines. GFCI outlets may trip as well, which will make it necessary for the machine to be moved. If this happens, please contact us asap.
Can I use a generator for a margarita or ice cream machine?
No, the use of generators with our high-power machines is strictly prohibited as the power is not stable.
