Vending at Farmers Market

[SmokinQ]

Can I get help from those that have experience selling BBQ at weekly farmers markets?

What percentage of market visitors do you think will stop and purchase food? Not in me in particular but in general?

I am vending at the farmers market every Saturday morning from 8:00 to 1:00. The market averages about 2500 per weekend and there is 6 or 7 food vendors in total.

I am just trying to calculate my potential sales on the number of visitors purchasing food.

Thank you for your help.

I only have a combined market experience of about a year. Your sounds like a busy market with 2500. 6-7 food vendors is about right.

I'd guesstimate over 70% of visitors consume a food (including popcorn, bread, bagels, etc) or beverage while at the market. Most of your sales will occur between 11 - 1 and I'd guess you'll do $500-$1000 in sales starting out or 75-150 customers.
