Renting a breath analyser in Mumbai
Every host with a bar has the same worry at midnight, and almost none of them do anything about it: guests driving home after an open bar, on Mumbai roads, at the end of a long night.
A breath analyser near the exit changes the conversation from an awkward one to a factual one. Instead of a host guessing whether a guest is fine to drive, the guest checks for themselves and makes the call. In practice, most people who blow a reading they didn't expect take the cab - they just needed something more concrete than a friend's opinion.
It is a prompt, not a clearance. A reading below any threshold is not permission to drive, and nobody should treat it that way. But as a way of getting a guest to think about it at all, it works better than a sign.
Best used for
- Wedding receptions and after-parties with an open bar
- Corporate parties and annual functions
- New Year and festival events
- Club and private party nights
- Any function where guests are driving themselves home
- Corporate events with a duty-of-care policy
How many do you need?
One near the main exit covers most functions. Where guests leave via two routes — a lobby and a car park, say — take two, since a unit people have to walk back for will not get used.
What to check with the venue
Placement is the whole thing. It needs to sit where guests naturally pass on the way out, with enough space that using it isn't a public performance in front of the queue behind. Talk to the banquet team about where that is. Confirm a socket at the position, and brief whoever is stationed there on what to say — this works far better with a person beside it than as an unattended machine.
Booked alongside
Late-night setups often combine this with traffic cones for valet routing and walkie talkies so the exit team can call cabs as guests need them.
