Floor plan & pitches

The floor plan editor turns your venue from a laminated sketch into a live document: draw it once, assign traders to pitches, and everyone — you, your stewards, your traders — works from the same plan.

Drawing the venue

The editor gives you simple elements to lay out the space: walls, doors, labels and pitches. Draw the hall (or field) outline, drop in entrances and fire exits, and place a pitch for every sellable spot. Elements can be moved, resized and rotated, so an L-shaped hall or a showground avenue is straightforward. Give pitches labels that match how you talk about the venue — A1–A20 down one aisle, B1–B14 down the next.

Assigning traders

Every accepted stall from your applications inbox can be assigned to a pitch: select the pitch on the plan, then pick the stall from the list. Once assigned, the pitch label follows the stall everywhere: the trader’s confirmation, their claim page, and the check-in list your team uses on setup morning. Reassigning is the same two clicks — useful when a trader cancels and you shuffle the hall on Thursday night.

On show day

Your team sees the plan in the dashboard on their phones. As traders arrive, check them in against their pitch — you can see at a glance which pitches are still empty twenty minutes before doors and start making calls. Empty pitches can be offered to pending applicants on the spot.

Tips

• Label pitch sizes in the pitch name (“A12 — 3m frontage”) so assignment mistakes are visible.
• Keep one or two unassigned buffer pitches near the entrance for day-of surprises.
• Duplicating an event copies your tickets, questions and stall setup — but not the floor plan. Redraw it for the new event, and keep last year’s printout to hand while you do.
