Why hire an operator?
A staffed package allows the host to enjoy the event instead of monitoring sugar levels, heat, serving queues and machine operation. An operator can:
- Set up the machine safely.
- Prepare portions consistently.
- Control queues during busy periods.
- Keep the serving area organised.
- Explain the service to children and guests.
- Clean and pack the equipment after service.
Self-service hire may suit smaller events or clients with a tight budget, but it should only be used when a responsible adult is comfortable operating the machine and following safety instructions.
Booking information
For busy weekends, school holidays and large celebrations, booking two to three weeks ahead is recommended so the machine, operator and transport can be reserved.
Same-day availability may be possible depending on the date, location, equipment and staff schedule. Contact the team as early as possible for urgent requests.
