How it works

Three steps to gelato.

  1. 01

    Pick your machine.

    Cart, stand, caravan or the Big Scoop, each one sized to your crowd, from an intimate hundred to a larger event by arrangement.

  2. 02

    Get an instant quote.

    Tell us the date and how many scoops you need. The quote engine prices it on the spot in about a minute: a real estimate, no black hole.

  3. 03

    Pay the deposit, we do the rest.

    A deposit is what secures your date and your setup. From there it is ours: setup, gelato, cups, napkins and a real Messina scooper.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What's included?

Every hire is full-service: the setup, the gelato, cups, napkins, a chalk menu board, and an actual Messina scooper doing the scooping. You bring the crowd, we bring the rest.

How many people can you feed?

It is measured in scoops, not heads: 100 for an intimate do, up to 1,000 depending on the setup. For larger events, send us an enquiry and we will check what is possible with extra freezer capacity.

Do you need power?

Both stands and the smaller cart run completely off-grid; the bigger cart, the caravan and the van need a single power point, and the Big Scoop will run off its own battery if there is nothing to plug into. The large stand needs a point too once you add extra scoops. We confirm exactly what your pick needs right on the quote, so there are no surprises on the day.

Where do you go?

Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra for the stands; Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for the smaller cart. The bigger cart, the caravan and the van are Sydney exclusives. Outside the metro? Ask us. We'll travel for a good party.

Can we get it branded?

Yep. Printed panels, branded cups, and a custom menu board with your logo. Panels need about 3 weeks and a vector file.

What about flavours?

Two classics on the small stand, four on everything else, with 3 weeks' notice.
