Suitable venues may also potentially qualify for profit-share arrangements.
These opportunities are assessed individually.
The stronger the location and customer traffic, the larger a commercial installation may potentially be.
No Upfront Purchase Arcade Installation
Certain qualifying commercial opportunities may be suitable for an arrangement that reduces or removes the need for the venue to purchase every arcade machine upfront.
This can potentially make larger arcade projects more achievable for suitable businesses.
Managed Arcade Installation
A commercial arcade requires ongoing support after installation.
Depending on the arrangement, a managed service can potentially cover:
Machine Supply
Installation
Payment Systems
Technical Support
Maintenance
Repairs
Performance Review
Equipment Changes
The exact responsibilities depend on the agreed commercial arrangement.
Commercial Arcade Machine Maintenance
Busy commercial arcades can generate substantial machine usage.
Ongoing maintenance is therefore important.
Machines should remain:
Operational
Presentable
Safe to Use
Properly Positioned
Available During Peak Trading
Technical support can form part of the agreed commercial arrangement.
Arcade Machine Performance Monitoring
Different machines will perform differently.
Performance can depend on:
Machine Type
Machine Position
Customer Age
Venue Footfall
Opening Hours
Seasonality
Nearby Games
Visibility
Monitoring performance can help inform future machine choices.
Arcade Machine Rotation
Where appropriate under the commercial agreement, the machine mix can potentially be reviewed.
For example:
A boxing machine might work strongly in a sports bar.
Racing may work particularly well in a family entertainment centre.
Basketball may perform strongly in an activity venue.
The arcade should be built around the actual audience.
Expand an Existing Arcade
Already have arcade machines?
You don’t necessarily need to start again.
We can discuss adding equipment to an existing games area.
Potential additions include:
Racing
Basketball
Reaction Games
Air Hockey
Retro Arcade Cabinets
Other Interactive Machines
Send photographs and a current machine list when enquiring.
Replace an Old Arcade Setup
Some venues already have an arcade area but the equipment is dated or the overall setup is underperforming.
Potential improvements might include:
New Machine Categories
Modern Payment Technology
Better Machine Positioning
More Competitive Games
Improved Layout
Different Machine Mix
The right approach depends on the existing setup.

We can discuss complete arcade installations across several locations.

Complete Arcade Installation Across the UK
Boutique Party Hire can assess suitable commercial arcade projects nationwide.
Installations can range from small 3–5 machine games areas to substantial 10, 20 or 20+ machine commercial arcades.
Complete Arcade Installation vs Buying Machines Yourself
Buying all the equipment outright gives the venue ownership.
However, it can also mean taking responsibility for:
Machine Purchasing
Machine Selection
Delivery
Installation
Payment Technology
Repairs
Maintenance
Replacement Machines
Technical Support
Ongoing Management
A commercial long-term installation provides another approach.
Complete Arcade Installation vs Event Hire
A commercial arcade installation is very different from one-day arcade hire.
Event hire is designed for:
Corporate Events
Exhibitions
Christmas Parties
Brand Activations
Private Events
Temporary Functions
A complete arcade installation is designed for equipment remaining inside a venue for an extended period.
Any day-hire prices shown on standard event imagery should therefore not be treated as commercial arcade installation pricing.
Larger installations need a strong enough commercial opportunity to justify the equipment and management involved.

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.

I will definitely be using them again for future parties and highly recommend them! Thank you boutique party hire team x
Absolutely amazing service from start to finish, I got the white soft play, ball pit, bouncy castle and balloon garland and the quality was class. My guests were wowed and the kids were fully entertained all day. The garden looked beautiful all set up. It was a ‘no fuss’ drop off and pick up and I found the price really reasonable. Will always use boutique party hire now and highly recommend. So glad I found you guys. Thank you so much for making my daughters birthday special x
