Vendor Management Software for Market and Festival Vendors
BoothBoss is the all-in-one platform built specifically for market and festival vendors — replacing the spreadsheets, group texts, and disconnected apps with a single system that manages your events, team, finances, documents, and alerts. Built by a vendor, for vendors.
The Problem
Vendors Run the Show. Nobody Built Them Tools.
01
The Spreadsheet Trap
Revenue in one tab. Staff in another. Event dates in a text thread. One missed message and the whole weekend falls apart.
02
The Staffing Scramble
Last-minute cancellations, no-shows, and zero visibility into who's confirmed for what — until it's too late to fix it.
03
The Financial Fog
You know you made money. But booth fees, travel, supplies — it's impossible to know if each event actually paid off.
Our Story
Born at a Kettle Korn Booth.
BoothBoss didn't start in a boardroom or a tech accelerator. It started at a market booth — with a popcorn kettle, a clipboard full of chaos, and a woman who'd spent 10 years in an ICU knowing there had to be a better system.
ICU Nurse · 10 YearsKristin spent a decade making life-or-death decisions with precision, compassion, and zero margin for error.
🍿
Munchie's Kettle KornAll-natural, gluten-free, peanut-free kettle korn — built with the same care she brought to nursing. A real community business.
💡
The Spark for BoothBossAfter years of losing staff to group text chaos, missing event history, and never knowing which markets actually made money — Kristin knew someone had to build the tool vendors deserved.
The Chaos That Started It All
Kristin R. built Munchie's Kettle Korn the same way she approached nursing — with heart, precision, and genuine care for every person she served. Her kettle korn is all-natural, gluten-free, peanut-free, and made with the kind of intention that's rare at any market booth.
But behind the kettle? Pure operational chaos. Staff would confirm a shift over text — then not show up. Events would come and go with no record of what happened, who worked, what was sold, or whether the booth even turned a profit once fees, supplies, and travel were factored in. Application deadlines got buried in email. Event history lived nowhere.
As a nurse, Kristin understood better than anyone what happens when systems fail people who are counting on them. She wasn't willing to accept that vendors — the backbone of every market, fair, and festival — deserved anything less than a real solution.
Why We Built BoothBoss Together
The partnership that created BoothBoss started with one simple truth: Kristin knew exactly what needed to be built, because she lived every problem firsthand. Every feature in BoothBoss traces directly back to a real moment at a real event.
The No-Show That Cost a Weekend
A confirmed staff member disappeared day-of. No backup system, no visibility, no plan. Now BoothBoss has self-scheduling and SMS confirmation built in.
The Event That "Made Money" — But Didn't
After a big weekend, the numbers didn't add up once booth fees, supplies, and fuel were counted. Now every event has a real P&L, automatically.
The Deadline She Nearly Missed
An application email buried in her inbox. The event she'd done for three years, almost lost because there was no system tracking it. Now BoothBoss catches every deadline.
"Where Did That Event Go?"
No record of what happened at past events — what sold, who worked, what the weather was like, what she'd do differently. Now the Activity Log captures everything.
"In the ICU, a bad system doesn't just cost time — it costs lives. In my vendor business, a bad system was costing me money, staff, and events I loved. I knew there had to be something better. So we built it."
Kristin lived the chaos of managing a vendor business firsthand — juggling events, paperwork, staffing, and finances while being a mom of 3. She knew exactly what needed to be built because she experienced every problem herself.
