For vendors at halls, markets and festivals
Trade at a hall, a market or a festival and let the page work for your stall
If a hall, market or festival lists your business, you own your page: claim it for free, say yes or no to the invitation, confirm the days you are trading and write your own festival dishes. The host never edits what you have built.
Free to list: your menu, replies and photos.
Someone listed your stall. What now?
A hall, market or festival can list you before you have heard of Mosey. If nobody has claimed your listing, you may get one email, from Mosey on the host's behalf. It names the host, says it asked us to write and links to your page. It is the only email you will get about it, and a one-click link says no without signing in.
Your page is free. Claim it to add photos and a menu, see ratings and reply to them, and decide how your stall looks. Claiming works through the ordinary claim flow, with a proof and a check by Mosey, so nobody can take a page that is not theirs.
How do you say yes, or say no?
Once you have claimed your listing, the dashboard shows each invitation with a yes or no. Accept and you appear on the host's page with your stall label and your pin on its site plan. Decline, or leave later, and you come off the page and your days come off with you.
An unclaimed listing that a host added shows on its page at once, so the page is whole on day one. A claimed business shows only after it accepts. If you decline, the host cannot add you again for 30 days.
How do you confirm which days you are trading?
A market lists its days. For every coming day you mark Here or Not here, and a day that has already finished cannot be changed. That tells diners which stalls to expect, and the morning reminder a market sends to its followers names up to three confirmed traders.
If you are a pop-up or a truck with no fixed address, a market day you confirm becomes an appearance on your own page with the market's address and hours. Step back from the day and the appearance goes too. You can also mark yourself selling fast or sold out for the day, and the host page shows it on your stall.
What do diners do with your stall?
A diner opens your stall from the host's page and rates what they ate. That rating is yours: it counts toward your own average, and the host's page only reads it. If you trade at several markets you still have one page, one set of followers and one rating history.
The host's best-dishes list draws on ratings made at the host once three dishes qualify. A dish needs ratings from two different people, so one friend cannot make your dish the winner.
What about festival dishes?
For a festival, you write your own dishes for each edition: a name, a description, a price, allergens and a photo. Tap once to mark a dish sold out, and copy last year's dishes forward if you return. The organizer sees whether your menu is done and may nudge you once by email for each edition, and it never edits a dish.
A dish that lists no allergens says allergens not listed. Choose none of the 14 allergens only if that is true. Ratings at a festival count once, on your stall, and your own team's ratings are left out of the score.
Where will diners find you next?
The festivals you trade at are shown on your own page under Trading at, with their dates and your stall. That helps a diner who finds you on a quiet weekday know where you will be on Saturday.
Where the rules differ
Vendors follow the rules of their own province for anything they sell. Three points are about Mosey.
- What Mosey does for the stall
- A stall's listing, ratings, replies and days are free. Whatever you sell at your stall is your own sale, outside Mosey.
- Quebec
- Mosey's Quebec pages are in English and describe discovery only. A listing, its ratings and its replies work there as anywhere, and nothing is sold through them.
- The one invitation email is written with Canada's anti-spam law, CASL, in mind: it names the host that asked us to write and carries the legal footer. A no stops every host from emailing that address again.
Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.
What Mosey is about
Affordable tools for food businesses
Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.
A full suite, in one login
The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.
You keep more of your revenue
Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.
Free to list and claim
Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.
No hidden fees
What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.
Made for local food businesses
Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.
Questions owners ask
Do I have to pay to be listed at a market?
No. Your listing, your menu, your photos and your replies are free. The host does not pay for you either.
Can the market change my page?
No. A host can add you to or remove you from its page, label your stall and pin it. It cannot edit your page or your menu.
What if I get the email but have not claimed my page?
You can ignore it, say no or claim your page. If you say no, the host stops listing you and no host can email that address again.
Can I be at three markets with one page?
Yes. One page, one set of followers and one rating history cover every host. Each host shows you on its own page.
Will a rating at a market count twice?
No. It counts once, on your stall. The host's own average is made from ratings of the host.
Who writes my festival dishes?
You do. An organizer sees only whether the menu is done and how many dishes it has.
Can I decline after I accept?
Yes. Leaving a host takes you off its page and removes your coming days there.
