Team registrations, judging sheets, and spectator tickets all use different systems.
Use case
BBQ and cook-off competitions, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, team entries, tasting kits, and spectator tickets, applications from competing teams and vendors, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for BBQ competitions, chili cook-offs, and grilling championships from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
BBQ competitions, chili cook-offs, and grilling championships.
Instead of sending attendees, vendors, sponsors, and staff through separate tools, every workflow stays attached to the same event record - so nothing falls through the cracks between your form tool, your ticket link, and your spreadsheet.
- Publish a branded event site
- Sell team entries, tasting kits, and spectator tickets
- Collect applications from competing teams and vendors
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Competing teams and vendors apply in one tool while payments happen in another.
Booth assignments get redrawn in a spreadsheet nobody else can see.
Event-day staff work from printed lists that were stale before doors opened.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can competing teams and vendors apply and pay online?
Yes. Competing teams and vendors fill out a structured application with your custom questions, and once approved they can pay booth or table fees through Stripe checkout - or you can record manual payments like cash and checks.
Does VendlyNest sell team entries, tasting kits, and spectator tickets too?
Yes - tickets, booths, sponsor packages, and add-ons all live in one commerce layer with capacity limits, sold-out protection, receipts, and QR passes.
Do we need a separate website builder?
No. Every event gets a multi-page microsite with themes, drag-and-drop content blocks, vendor and guest directories, and optional custom domains.
