We did our first vending event at a local brewery this past Saturday. Just wanted to thank everyone on this board past, present, and future as I dug through posts from years ago to present to make sure I was doing things the right way.
The event was quite successful. We had a simple set up in the parking lot with an EZ up, a couple tables, and my Shirley pit. Solid line for two hours from noon to 2pm, when we sold out. I really thought we'd have food available until 4pm but on average people ordered way more than I thought. Average order was $14 selling brisket sandwiches, chicken wings and legs, BB ribs, slaw, and beans. People seemed to love it, and the smell of bbq was reported throughout the neighborhood.
HD came through in the middle of it to check to make sure we were playing by the rules which we were, however the hand washing water cooler had run low on water by that point so I just had to run and fill that up. Other than that - all good!
It was a lot of work but very rewarding. Can't wait to do it again. I'll post pics if I can. I was too busy to take any myself.
Thanks!
