Run a market food court without the gate bottleneck

Run a market food court without the gate bottleneck

Every organiser knows the look of a market in full swing: a great crowd, a good band, and four queues thirty people deep at the food stalls. Those queues are not just the vendors' problem. Every minute a visitor spends in a food line is a minute they are not at the bar, the stage, or the craft stalls. The bottleneck at the food court quietly caps how much your whole event takes.

Put the whole line-up on one page

With YesChef we can group all your food vendors onto a single branded page for your event. It carries your name, your hero image, your colours, and a button straight to your ticket page. Visitors open one link, browse every stall in one place, and order from their phone without joining a line.

One link, everywhere

Drop the page link or its QR on your posters, tickets, programme, and socials. It goes live for your dates and hours, then switches off when the event ends.

Visitors order ahead, vendors keep cooking

A guest picks a stall, orders, and pays from wherever they are standing. The order lands on that vendor's screen the moment it is paid, and the guest gets a collection code by SMS or WhatsApp when the food is ready. The vendor spends the day cooking instead of taking cash, and the people who would have walked past a long queue now order anyway.

  • Stalls are ranked by distance from the gate, so visitors see who is closest first.
  • Each vendor keeps their own menu, prices, and payouts. No new contracts to sign.
  • Nothing to install on the day: vendors use the phone already in their pocket.
  • Vendors already on YesChef join your page in a tap; we help the rest get set up.

See what the page added

After the event we can show you how many orders came through your page. That turns the value of the food court from a feeling into a number you can take to next year's planning, and to the vendors deciding whether to come back.

“The food queues used to be the thing people complained about. Now they are the thing that runs itself.”
