Serve at CardzCon.
Thousands of collectors spend the day on the floor, and they get hungry. If you run a food or drink concept that works for people on the go, we'd like to hear from you.
Before you apply.
Please read these carefully - a few of them rule out common setups.
Your kiosk
- Each vending area is 1.5m x 2m.
- Brand your kiosk however you like - there are no restrictions, and no requirement to match CardzCon's look. If you'd like to include CardzCon branding you're welcome to, but it's entirely optional.
Power and water
- Power is provided - we already supply it to every vendor. Tell us your load on the form below.
- There is no water supply and no sinks. Plan your setup around this, including anything you'd normally rinse or wash on site.
Equipment and cooking
- Ready-made food only. No live cooking on site.
- No open flames, stoves, or gas equipment of any kind.
- Microwaves, toasters, coffee machines and similar electrical equipment are permitted.
Health, safety and hygiene
Vendors are expected to follow HACCP guidelines, including:
- High standards of personal hygiene from all staff, including regular hand washing and clean clothing.
- Regular sanitising of surfaces, utensils and equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
- Food stored at correct temperatures and protected from insects, animals and dust.
- Hot food held above 140°F and cold food below 41°F, both in storage and on display.
- Appropriate temperature control equipment - refrigeration units, coolers and heating units.
- Careful handling so food never contacts contaminated surfaces.
What works best here
We recommend simple, convenient options suited to people on the go. Food that's easy to eat standing up, and doesn't need seating, works far better on a busy convention floor.
