Weekend markets

How Pop-up Shop / Market Mgmt is set up for you

A weekend market may reuse a venue while changing its event dates, owner and capacity. Keep each event separate so the team can see which vendor requests and admissions belong to the specific weekend.

Start with one operator organization, its team and an active venue. Create an event with a named Market Manager, start and end dates, capacity and a current revision. Send that plan through independent event review before opening it. Use an actual vendor request to rehearse the permit and space check, then reserve and admit a small set of attendees. Finance Reviewer can compare those admitted quantities with verified provider events. Keep the operation receipts attached to the event, including any failed or review-needed attempt.

During the rehearsal, change a meaningful event detail after the first decision. Ask the Event Reviewer to identify which revision was reviewed, then have the Market Manager find the current decision. This makes the approval handoff concrete for the people running the market. The team should also try a repeat admission or award request and inspect the prior receipt before acting again.

After the market, check the event status, close time, admissions and payment evidence together. If the event is cancelled, retain its request and decision records so staff can answer later questions. Agree who handles unresolved provider evidence before setting a close date. That ownership is as important as the initial schedule.
