Tips for hassle free chocolate fountain hire

If you’re planning to hire a chocolate fountain for an upcoming event such as a wedding, birthday party or corporate function, follow our tips to ensure you make the most out of your chocolate fountain hire.

Where you position your chocolate fountain is of vital importance so it’s imperative you get the right spot to help minimise the risk of any mishaps. For example, you should never set up your hired chocolate fountain near a door of any kind, especially not a swinging door, as there’s the possibility it could knock the fountain or guests could enter the room and walk straight into the fountain. On the same note, don’t put your chocolate fountain near the dance floor as there’s always the risk someone will fall into it.

Never be tempted to set up your chocolate fountain outdoors. An unexpected gust of wind could send the flowing chocolate all over a nearby guest, and rain and chocolate never mix and can cause the fountain to stop working. Another issue which can arise from positioning your chocolate fountain outside is that insects can fly into the melted chocolate which is never desirable and bound to put your guests off.

Avoid using crumbly items for dipping as the crumbs can get stuck in the fountain and cause it to stop flowing properly. It’s also important to warm up the fountain before adding the chocolate because if the equipment is too cold, it will cause the chocolate to harden and prevent it from flowing freely.

Use a spirit level to check the table the chocolate fountain is set on is perfectly straight as a level table will help the chocolate flow evenly.

Lastly, make sure the electric cable to the chocolate fountain is not in the way of the guests where they could possibly fall over it.
