Boutique Party Hire supplies and installs commercial arcade machines into suitable venues under long-term profit-share and revenue-share arrangements.
For qualifying locations, this can provide a way to add arcade entertainment without necessarily purchasing the machines outright.
We work with suitable venues including:
Pubs
Bars
Hotels
Bowling Alleys
Leisure Centres
Shopping Centres
Cinemas
Holiday Parks
Ice Rinks
Family Entertainment Centres
Soft Play Centres
Trampoline Parks
Restaurants
Tourist Attractions
Student Venues
The exact commercial arrangement depends on the venue, location, footfall and proposed machine setup.
How Profit Share Arcade Machine Hire Works
A profit-share arrangement is different from simply renting an arcade machine for a fixed event.
For suitable venues, machines can potentially be installed for an extended period and income generated from gameplay shared according to the agreed commercial terms.
The arrangement can depend on factors including:
Venue Type
Customer Footfall
Available Floor Space
Opening Hours
Machine Position
Customer Demographic
Existing Entertainment
Number of Machines
Location
Not every venue will be suitable, so opportunities are assessed individually.

Revenue Share Arcade Machines UK
Profit share and revenue share are closely related commercial models.
Rather than a venue necessarily purchasing the machines itself, an agreed arrangement can potentially allow equipment to be installed and revenue generated from play shared between the parties.
This can be especially relevant for high-footfall entertainment, hospitality and leisure venues.
For qualifying venues, certain commercial arrangements may reduce or remove the need for significant upfront machine expenditure.
This can be attractive for businesses that want to introduce arcade entertainment without immediately committing substantial capital.
We can assess:
Weekly Footfall
Venue Location
Available Space
Opening Hours
Customer Profile
Existing Games
Machine Visibility
Proposed Installation Size
and discuss whether a profit-share placement could be suitable.

Arcade Machine Profit Share vs Buying Machines
Buying machines outright means taking responsibility for:
Capital Investment
Machine Selection
Delivery
Installation
Payment Systems
Repairs
Maintenance
Replacement Equipment
Ongoing Management
A profit-share arrangement provides another commercial model for suitable venues.
Arcade Machine Profit Share vs Fixed Rental
Fixed rental and profit share are not always the same thing.
Fixed rental generally involves paying an agreed hire fee for the equipment.
Profit share generally involves a commercial arrangement linked to revenue generated by the machines.
Which model is appropriate depends on the venue and the proposed installation.
Cashless Profit Share Arcade Machines
Suitable commercial machines can potentially use cashless or contactless payment technology depending on the installation.
This can make games easier for customers to use and reduce reliance on coins.
Cashless systems may be particularly useful inside:
Hotels
Bars
Bowling Centres
Holiday Parks
Shopping Centres
Leisure Venues
Family Entertainment Centres
Contactless Arcade Machine Placements
Modern customers increasingly expect contactless payment.
Where suitable, commercial arcade installations can potentially be configured to accept electronic payment.
This can fit naturally into venues where customers already pay by card for:
Food
Drinks
Tickets
Activities
Accommodation
Retail Purchases
Managed Profit Share Arcade Installations
A commercial profit-share installation involves more than delivering machines.
Depending on the arrangement, the service can potentially include:
Machine Supply
Delivery
Installation
Payment Systems
Maintenance
Technical Support
Machine Selection
Performance Review
Machine Rotation
The exact responsibilities are agreed for the individual venue.
Arcade Machine Maintenance Included
Long-term commercial machines need ongoing support.
Depending on the agreed arrangement, maintenance and technical support can form part of the service.
Reliable equipment is especially important during:
Weekends
School Holidays
Evening Trade
Christmas
Peak Summer Periods
A machine that is not working is not generating entertainment or revenue.
Arcade Machine Rotation
Different machines can perform differently from one location to another.
For example:
A boxing machine may work strongly in a bar.
A racing game may perform better in a family entertainment centre.
A basketball machine may suit a leisure or sports environment.
Where appropriate under the commercial agreement, machine performance can be reviewed over time.

We hired a claw machine through Boutique party hire for our corporate event and it was brilliant! It went down a treat with guests. It was simple to use, dropped off on time and picked up as soon as we were done. The process couldn’t have been simpler. Would definitely recommend.
Charlotte and her team are FABULOUS! I am the owner of Abigail Lucy Design, a Luxury Wedding + Events company. We recently started planning, designing and managing Luxury Children’s Parties. We have used Charlottes services a couple of times now and we couldn’t be happier, she will always be our go to person from now forth because she always delivers even when we have super last minute bookings. They are professional, helpful and reasonably priced – we love working with Charlotte and her team! I would highly recommend! Love A x

We used Boutique Party Hire for my daughter’s 1st Birthday Party. We hired a bouncy castle and soft play. Right from the point of inquiry to the point of delivery & collection the process was easy and professional. They are also reasonably priced. The bouncy castle and soft play looked lovely and was exactly what we wanted! The kids also loved it! We will definitely be using this company again and recommending them to friends and family.
I would highly recommend the Boutique Hire company the staff were so friendly & professional they couldn’t do enough for me when setting up they helped me reorganise my furniture in order to fit the items in.
