Planning tips

Getting concessions right

  1. 1

    Pick your treats

    Popcorn and cotton candy suit kids and school events; dessert and coffee carts suit weddings and corporate events.

    Staffing

    Machines are self-serve with a volunteer; carts often include an attendant, so check what is included.
