The party operator’s guide to equipment and logistics
- How much foam fluid do I need per party? →The working math: your cannon's solution use per hour, times party hours, plus a 25 percent reserve. Running dry mid-party is the one supply mistake clients remember.
- How to stop equipment from disappearing (tracking gear across crews and trucks) →Give every piece of gear a home, a label, and a name on the checkout. Gear vanishes in the gap between "someone loaded it" and "someone brought it back."
- What to keep in the truck at all times →The permanent kit: adapters, spare hose, gaff tape, zip ties, first aid, towels, a spill kit, printed contact sheet, and backup extension cords. The truck is the toolbox.
- When to repair vs replace party equipment →When annual repair spend crosses half of replacement cost, or when a failure would kill a booked Saturday, replace. Track repairs per unit or the math never surfaces.
