The math assumes 100% marketplace bookings.
Most operators book through more than one channel. If only some of your events come through a marketplace, your real commission cost is lower — set the event count to match just those.
Commission rates vary.
Marketplaces typically take 10–15% (Roaming Hunger, Best Food Trucks, etc.). Some charge more, some less, and terms change. Slide the rate to match what you actually pay.
VendCast's fee is flat, regardless of volume.
You pay the same Pro subscription whether you book two events or twenty. The more you book, the more a percentage-based commission would have cost — and the more you keep.
Annual is a projection, not a guarantee.
We multiply your monthly inputs by twelve. Food trucks are seasonal, so your real annual number will move with your booking calendar.
