How to use the checklist

  • Book the machine first. Online booking needs 2 days' notice, and weekend dates fill up, so book 2 to 4 weeks ahead when you can.
  • Check the power early. The machine needs a standard 110 volt outlet on its own circuit and a sturdy table or our rolling cart. See power for a frozen drink machine.
  • Have a garden hose ready. We deliver and set up 2 to 3 hours before your party, and the first batch takes 2 to 3 hours to freeze. No ice needed.
  • Send invites 3 to 4 weeks out for big parties. Make one in a minute with the party invite maker, then build your shopping list.
