Why Experience Matters

Food events and venues live or die by the details.

We help you avoid costly mistakes, build smart processes, and create an environment where vendors and guests thrive.

Checklist: What to Consider When Taking on Food Vendors/Operators

  • Menu Variety & Quality: Are offerings diverse, appealing, and suited to your audience?

  • Food Safety Compliance: Does each vendor know current hygiene, food safety, and allergen requirements?

  • Vendor Reliability: Have you checked track record, punctuality, and reputation?

  • Operational Fit: Can vendors handle expected volumes and adapt to your space’s limitations?

  • Accessibility: Are setups friendly for all customers, including those with mobility or dietary needs?

  • Sustainability: Are vendors committed to eco-friendly practices and waste minimisation?

  • Technology & Payments: Is there a seamless POS system for quick, secure transactions?

  • Staff Training & Team Spirit: Will vendors contribute positively to the overall event atmosphere?

  • Communication: Are expectations clear, for setup times, supplies, branding, and service standards?

  • Licensing & Insurance: Is everything legally ticked off, certificates, insurance, and trading permissions?
