Game Day & Programs Reliable earner Effort: Low

Concession Stand & Bake Sale

Any home game, or a standalone bake sale tableBest for: every sport and booster club

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. 1

    Open In-Person Sales from your dashboard and pick your stand type: concessions, bake sale, spirit wear, or another table sale.

  2. 2

    Set a starting cash float and build your menu, or start from the ready-made items for your stand type.

  3. 3

    Add sellers if you need more than one: each volunteer works from their own phone, no account or app required.

  4. 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. 5

    Link the stand to your game-day program (optional) so fans can order ahead from their seats and pick up by name.

  6. 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.

You (organizer)
  • 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.
Volunteers (sellers)
  • Work a shift from their own phone: ring cash and show the card QR, no training beyond that.
Fans
  • Buy at the stand, or order ahead from the game-day program and pick up by name.
