Great vendors, sold-out sessions, a gate that flows
A food festival needs a strong vendor line-up and short queues. Popup Pal handles both, with applications, pitch fees, session tickets and scanning in one place.
Plans from £9.99/month, excluding VAT, priced by capacity rather than by features. Popup Pal takes 0% of your stall money and adds no per-stall fee. Stripe bills its own processing to your account, exactly as it does for any business using Stripe.
Book a demoVendor applications with the paperwork built in
Your application form collects it all up front: hygiene ratings, allergen information, menu photos. Balance the line-up from one inbox (not five burger vans, one bakery) and accept with a click that sends the pitch invoice automatically. Then the documents checklist tracks each vendor’s food hygiene certificate, public liability insurance and gas safety certificate, with expiry dates and automatic renewal reminders.
Pitch fees and percentages made simple
Charge flat pitch fees invoiced online, from small pitch to large pitch with power, and watch payment status from the dashboard. Traders pay through a secure payment link weeks before the festival, so your cash flow isn’t waiting on show day takings.
Sessions and tastings that sell out safely
Timed entry sessions, tasting masterclasses and kids’ workshops each get their own ticket type with a hard capacity, so oversold tastings are physically impossible. When a vendor sells out or a session moves, a live announcement reaches every ticket holder instantly.
On the day, your team scans QR tickets from their own phones at every entrance and box office mode handles walk-ups. The floor plan editor keeps generator runs, vendor pitches and seating areas on one live map.
