Concessions

Multi-stand concession operations for festivals, air shows, tournaments and venues. We handle permitting and health department filings, purchase and manage inventory, staff every point of sale and run cashless through one reporting stack, then settle it as a single reconciled statement.

Concessions are where Event Specialists started, and the discipline still sets the standard for everything else we do. Speed of service, transaction times, product movement, and the infrastructure to support thousands of transactions across a site that had nothing on it a week earlier.

We operate single specialty concepts or coordinate food and beverage across multiple locations on one footprint.

The Operation

Great food and beverage service starts with strong operations.

We manage the details behind the experience, from staffing and food holding to POS systems, permitting, load-in coordination, and service timing. By planning every moving part together, we help create a smooth, organized operation from setup through final service.

Festivals & Large-Scale Events

Music festivals, tournaments, air shows, and public events.

We run multi-location concession operations as one coordinated system, from permitting and health department filings to stand planning, inventory, staffing, and cashless POS. Every point of sale reports into one place, so clients receive a single, clear settlement at the close of the event.

Venue & Recurring Contracts

Stadiums, fairgrounds, theatres, and recurring seasonal programs.

For recurring events, we build food and beverage operations to be consistent, efficient, and easy to repeat. With dedicated stand plans, established inventory levels, returning core staff, and clear per-event reporting, clients get one reliable team managing the full operation across every event date.

Product

Our mobile concession program is built to scale with the event. Across multiple cart configurations, we can deploy pretzel and churro carts, hot dog carts, ice cream carts, and other specialty setups, all supported by our own staffing, service standards, and operational systems.

Our fleet also includes annually licensed carts permitted through Los Angeles County Environmental Health, giving us added flexibility for recurring and large-scale service. Menus can range from cinnamon sugar churros and soft pretzels to all-beef hot dogs, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, pizza, premium ice cream, frozen lemonade, and full beverage service.

Where We've Worked

Since 1989, across festivals, sport, and public events in Southern California.

Questions

Do you handle POS and settlement reporting?

Yes. Every transaction runs through our POS system. You can watch sales live or get a full sales report at the end of each day, with settlement breakdowns.

Do you handle permits and health department filings?

Either we file or you do, depending on the event. When the client is lead planner they usually pull all permits; otherwise we file, and we agree who pays the fees up front.

How many service points can you run on one site?

We typically run around 30 service points across a large festival footprint, food and bars together or food on its own.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry $5 million general liability with a $2 million umbrella, $1 million auto, and $1 million workers' compensation. We can add your venue, or anyone else you need, as additional insured, and a certificate is available on request.

How far do you travel?

We work across the Western United States, and for the right event, anywhere in the country. Our carts are permitted through Los Angeles County Environmental Health, and events outside that jurisdiction run on permits filed for the event. A second warehouse in Ohio runs a smaller fleet of carts and booths covering the East Coast, from Washington, DC to Florida.

What is your minimum?

It depends on the services you book. Tell us what you need and we'll quote it.
