Concession Stand & Bake Sale
Open a free register on volunteers' phones and run the stand: cash with drawer reconciliation at close, plus a no-hardware QR so card buyers pay on their own phone. Link it to a game-day program and fans can order without leaving their seat.
Why it works
Every school already runs a concession stand or bake sale table; this just swaps the cash box and a notepad for a real register that reconciles itself, takes card with zero hardware, and (linked to a program) lets the whole crowd order from where they're sitting instead of standing in line.
How to run it
- 1
Open In-Person Sales from your dashboard and pick your stand type: concessions, bake sale, spirit wear, or another table sale.
- 2
Set a starting cash float and build your menu, or start from the ready-made items for your stand type.
- 3
Add sellers if you need more than one: each volunteer works from their own phone, no account or app required.
- 4
Ring sales at the stand: tap items for cash, or show the card QR and let the buyer pay on their own phone.
- 5
Link the stand to your game-day program (optional) so fans can order ahead from their seats and pick up by name.
- 6
At close, count the drawer: the register shows exactly what you should have and flags any over or short.
Responsibilities
Who does what, and when, so nothing slips.
- Set up the stand type, menu, and starting float, and add sellers before the first game.
- Reconcile the drawer at close and check the season total on Reports.
- Work a shift from their own phone: ring cash and show the card QR, no training beyond that.
- Buy at the stand, or order ahead from the game-day program and pick up by name.
Example messages
Sample outreach for this play, to spark your own.
Can you work the your team concession stand for an hour Friday? No cash-counting, no experience needed, just your phone: {link}
Don't miss the third quarter for a hot dog: order from the your team concession stand right from your seat and pick up by name.
These are just examples. You'll write and send your own messages when you set up your campaign.
Boost it. Plays that pair well
Tailgate Party
A ticketed pre-game tailgate - catered food, a raffle, and sponsor tents - that turns your biggest home game into a fundraiser before kickoff.
Game-Day Program & Ad Sales
A digital game-day program, roster, schedule, coach's welcome, and a donation link, with its ad space sold two ways: family tribute ads and local business ads. Accessed by QR at every home game and updated in minutes each week.
Team Donation Campaign
A single shared donation page for the whole program, the simplest possible campaign, plus its game-day activation: QR signs at the gate and concessions with an announcer ask. Great as a permanent 'support the team' link.
