Juliana Jordan, founder of Hoppy Place Inflatables, runs a bounce house rental business alongside her husband in Dallas, Texas. What began as a casual kitchen-table brainstorm quickly turned into a full-fledged company when their daughter’s dream of a bounce house birthday sparked an idea: bring inflatable fun to families in their area. “She reminded us how much kids love those bright, inflatable castles and epic splash slides,” Juliana says. “And suddenly, it clicked.”
Today, they offer classic bounce houses, combo units, and water slides, providing everything needed to turn birthdays, school events, or spontaneous weekends into unforgettable celebrations. Their main customers are busy parents and neighborhood groups looking for affordable, stress-free fun.
As a veteran-owned business, they pride themselves on quality, fairness, and integrity. To support their launch, they created a branded website using the Booqable rental website builder and now manage bookings, inventory, and customer communication all in one place.
Bookings made easy
Before Booqable, Juliana and her husband were managing reservations manually using spreadsheets and paper notes. “It quickly became overwhelming,” she says. “It was easy to make mistakes, and double-booking was a real risk.” They needed a tool to handle their growing demand with accuracy and speed. That’s when they found Booqable. “It offered everything the competitors had but with a faster, more intuitive interface and a cleaner user experience.”
Booqable’s booking management system now takes care of it all:
-
All reservations are organized in one central dashboard
-
Automated booking confirmations prevent extra admin tasks
-
Online booking is easy for customers and accessible from anywhere
Now, instead of stressing over logistics, Juliana focuses on what really matters, delivering fun. “The automated confirmations and reminders have eliminated double-bookings and drastically reduced errors,” she explains. “It’s allowed us to grow without the chaos.”
Keeping track of every inflatable
As demand increased, tracking their rental inventory started becoming a major challenge. “Keeping track of our inflatables, cleaning schedules, and maintenance was all over the place,” Juliana recalls. Without a live system, it was hard to know what was available or needed servicing.
With Booqable’s inventory tracking, those issues are a thing of the past. Everything is now accounted for, from availability to maintenance cycles.
-
Products are automatically reserved when booked, preventing double-bookings
-
Customer profiles are created automatically in Booqable from online orders
-
They can instantly view what’s ready to rent and what is unavailable
“Now we can quickly see what’s available for each event and ensure everything is in top shape before it goes out,” says Juliana. This means fewer surprises and more reliable rentals. And for a bounce house rental business, that means happy kids and happy parents.
Clear communication, every step of the way
Many rental business owners face the same issue Juliana did early on, keeping up with customer communication. From confirming bookings to chasing payments, it often meant long email threads and missed calls. “It often led to miscommunication or delays in response times,” she explains. Now, Booqable’s documents and emails system handles it all automatically.
“We send quotes, invoices, and updates all through the platform,” Juliana says. “Customers can easily book and manage their rentals, and we can respond faster.” They take daily orders directly through their Booqable-powered rental website, which handles real-time availability, product selection, and checkout. From there, everything else is managed in one place:
-
Customers place reservations through the rental website and receive confirmation emails
-
Quotes, invoices, and contracts are generated automatically
-
Payment request links can be created and sent, and payment status updates in real time
-
Each morning, Juliana checks the dashboard to prep deliveries, print packing slips, and manage returns
Booqable’s documents and emails feature helps them keep communication organized and professional, aave time on admin by automating documents, and avoid errors with real-time updates and synced records.
“It’s made managing rentals so much smoother,” Juliana says. “Everything’s in one place, and we don’t have to stress about following up or forgetting anything.”
Building a business on family values
For Hoppy Place Inflatables, launching a rental business was about more than just bounce houses. It was about building something meaningful for their family and their Dallas community. With Booqable’s help, they’ve turned a family dream into a growing business that’s known for its reliability, joy, and customer-first approach.
From booking management to inventory tracking to their rental website and automated documents, Booqable has helped them get organized, grow their business, and make backyard memories possible.
