The Party & Event Rentals Fix Kit
Built for party and event rental businesses (bounce houses, photo booths).
Rental money leaks between the quote and the pickup. A unit comes back stained with no cleaning fee in the contract, a delivery 40 minutes out priced the same as one down the street, a windy day cancelled with a full refund, a photo booth that ran two hours over. Every rental also wears out a piece of equipment you'll have to replace. This kit puts each one on your contract and your books.
