Imagine this: You’re a budding gourmet chef, it’s your best friend’s birthday party, and you’ve promised to make the most unforgettable meal ever. Or, your friends decide to host a "Come dine with me" style dinner party. You’ve got the menu planned out, and your creativity is flowing, there’s just one problem: you don’t have alot of the equipment you need. The Slow cooker is too small, you don’t own a dehydrator or the right cooking utensils, and the baking trays you have arent the right size for the dishes you want to prepare.

What now?

Instead of panicking or rushing out to buy new, expensive gear, why not rent it?

Enter Sharehub, the platform that’s here to make your culinary dreams, and your party planning come to life with ease.

A Real-Life Kitchen Rescue

Let’s take Sarah’s story. She was hosting a milestone birthday for her son and wanted to prepare all his favourite meaty meals. She decided to make home made jerky, BBQ ribs, crispy airfired chicken as starters, and for the main course planned to create brown sugar and balsamic glazed pork tenderloins, and slow cooked scallop potatos. But she didn’t own a slow cooker, airfrier or dehydrator. Instead of spending many hundreds of dollars on equipment she’d rarely use (and had to store afterwards), Sarah turned to Sharehub. She rented a top-of-the-line dehydrator, blender, airfryer, baking trays and slow cooker and effortlessly prepared the perfect food for her gathering.

But it didn’t stop there. Sarah also had a creative idea to make alcoholic slushies and cocktails for her son's guests. She hired a slushy machine (https://www.sharehub.co.nz/hire/event-and-party/catering-and-cooking/listing/169) and a soda stream (https://www.sharehub.co.nz/hire/home-and-garden/whiteware-and-appliances/listing/185) from Sharehub to create 4 different signiture cocktails, and incorporated blended and dehydrated fruit into the cocktails to give that wow factor. 

With Sharehub, she had access to everything she needed for a successful event without the hassle or expense of buying all that equipment herself. From the slow cooker to the air fryer, slushy machine, and soda stream, Sarah had everything covered for a party that was both delicious and memorable. In addition, Sarah was able to hire the sound system to give the event the vibes her son was after!

Hosting Without the Hassle

Then there’s Emma, a local event planner who had a client celebrating their graduation in style. The host had big plans for an outdoor dinner party, but no sound system or marquee to set the scene. Emma suggested Sharehub, where her client could rent not only a professional sound system but also a marquee to keep the guests dry if the weather turned.

In addition to the main items, Emma's client found various other random bits an pieces like chilly bins, and some extra chairs required to really take her event to the next level! 

Thanks to Sharehub, Emma’s client had a perfect, stress-free evening. The dinner was set against a beautiful backdrop, with great music (she hired the DJ equipment and a DJ as a package on Sharehub) and an unforgettable atmosphere, all without any need for expensive purchases. In addition, Emmas client hired an expensive handbag and sleek dress for the occassion!

Unused Gear? Rent It and Make Money

Now, let’s be real for a moment. How many times have you splurged on an expensive kitchen gadget or home item, only to find yourself using it once or twice a year? Maybe it was that high-end mixer you bought with the best of intentions, a thermomixer, or a portable marquee that’s collecting dust in the garage.

Instead of letting these expensive, high-quality items gather dust, why not hire them out? Sharehub gives you the perfect platform to earn money from anything you already own. It’s too good to throw away, and now you can help someone else while putting a little extra cash in your pocket.
