How to Design a Vendor Setup

Design the flow so two people never cross paths: greet and order → build → ice and lid → hand off.

Keep the payment device at the greet station, never at the build station. The person building should never stop to take money.

Ice lives low and close. Every step you take is a drink you didn't sell.

Your sign has to be readable from fifteen feet. A great sign sells more than a great pitch.

Use tent weights, not stakes — most organizers require them and will shut you down without them.
