Use case

Food festivals, run from one dashboard.

Run the event site, tasting tickets and vendor booths, applications from restaurants and food vendors, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for food festivals, taste events, and culinary showcases from one connected dashboard.

Food festivals

Who it's for

Food festivals, taste events, and culinary showcases.

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 tasting tickets and vendor booths
  • Collect applications from restaurants and food vendors
  • Assign booths on the floor-plan map
  • Run QR check-in at the door

The old way

What usually goes wrong.

Tasting-ticket redemption and vendor sales reporting never line up after the event.

Restaurants and food 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 restaurants and food vendors apply and pay online?

Yes. Restaurants and food 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 tasting tickets and vendor booths 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.
