How to Use This Template
This checklist covers everything you need to sort before an event — from equipment and stock through to paperwork and logistics. It's divided into sections: stock and supplies, equipment, documents and certificates, vehicle, personal items, and a timeline for setup.
Work through it the day before each event. Tick off items as you pack and load. The timeline section helps you work backwards from your arrival time to figure out when you need to start prep, leave home, and complete setup. Customise the stock section to match your menu or service.
Every vendor has a horror story about forgetting something critical — gas, napkins, the card reader. This checklist stops that happening. Print a few copies and keep them in your van so you can run through it even when you're half-asleep at 5am on a Saturday.
