Q.
Are the machines easy to use?
A.
Yes! At delivery, each easy step of machine operation and refilling procedures are covered verbally to ensure a successful event. We mix your first batch and show you how to use the machine!
Q.
How many drinks does one batch yield?
A.
One batch of margaritas makes about 55 ten-ounce drinks. The machine will hold about one whole batch (5 gallons of mix). Our experience shows that usually half or more guests drink the frozen drinks even if you offer a choice. We recommend one batch for every 25 frozen beverage drinkers.
Q.
How long does the first batch take?
A.
Indoors about 30-45 minutes, outside on warm days, up to an hour. (Plastic Bowl machines take up to 90 minutes to freeze) There is no waiting between batches because you add to reservoir when the mix-low light comes on. We recommend that if you use a machine outdoors, you will get the best performance if you keep it in the shade.
Q.
Who provides the liquor and how much will I need?
A.
The customer provides all liquor. Check out the flavors information page to see the suggested liquor mixes.
Q.
Q.
How far in advance should I reserve my machine?
A.
We recommend 2-4 weeks and longer for holiday seasons and traditional party dates like Halloween and New Years Eve. One machine will delivery frozen drinks for up to 75 frozen beverage drinkers. If more guests are expected, a second machine is strongly recommended otherwise the machine will not perform properly.
