Blend's event vendor POS: every vendor's booth, menu and takings, live
Blend runs every food truck, merch stand and partner bar at a festival on BlendOS: each vendor gets its own booth, its own menu and its own code, and sells by cash, by Whish on US dollar events or from the guest's cashless wallet. The organizer sets each vendor's menu and sales allocation in the Blend dashboard and watches every vendor's takings and top items live.

What is the best POS for food trucks and vendors at events?
- Blend gives every vendor its own booth: a food truck, a merch stand or a partner bar sells its own menu on BlendOS, on any compatible Android or iOS device.
- Blend lets the organizer run every vendor's menu: items, photos and prices are set per vendor in the dashboard, and the booth updates.
- Blend caps what each vendor can sell: a money or units allocation per booth, enforced by Blend, with what is left always on the vendor's screen.
- Blend takes cashless at every booth: the vendor enters the amount and scans the guest's QR band or ticket, and the cashless wallet pays.
- Blend shows every vendor live: takings, sales and top items for each booth, in the organizer's dashboard.
- Blend names every sale: each till's code is given to a person or company, so every sale carries who made it.
What is Blend's event vendor POS?
Blend's event vendor POS is the vendor mode of BlendOS: every bar, food stand and shop at the event gets a booth on its own device, selling its own menu, with every sale reported to the organizer's dashboard as it happens.
At most festivals, each vendor brings a cash box or its own card machine, and the organizer learns what was sold only if the vendor says so. On Blend, the vendors run on the organizer's system: the same guest record, the same cashless wallet, the same live numbers. Read about the whole app on the BlendOS hub.

What does a vendor see on its Blend booth?
- Its own menuThe vendor's items with photos and prices, ready to tap.
- A big takings cardThe vendor's total for the event, refreshed after every sale.
- Sell and salesOne toggle between the till and the list of sales made.
- What is leftUnder the takings, how much of its allocation the vendor can still sell.
Each vendor login opens in the vendor's own mode: a bar with its tables, a food stand with its menu, or any other shop. The vendor never sees another vendor's numbers.
How does Blend cap what each vendor can sell?
Blend lets the organizer give each booth an allocation: a cap on the money it can take, the units it can sell, or both. Blend enforces the cap on every sale, and the booth shows what is left.
Allocations matter when a vendor sells stock the organizer paid for, when a sponsor's bar has a set budget, or when a merch run is limited. The vendor sees "left of allocation" under its takings all night, and a sale past the cap is stopped, not argued about the next morning.
How do guests pay at a Blend vendor booth?
- Cashless walletThe vendor enters the amount, scans the guest's QR band or ticket, and the guest's cashless wallet pays.
- CashRecorded on the booth, so cash takings are counted per vendor, not guessed.
- Whish on US dollar eventsRecorded on the same booth, with the cart cleared after each sale.
A bar or stand that only takes cash, or Whish on US dollar events, needs no wallet; band and ticket payments use Blend's cashless wallet. Read how the wallet, top-ups and cash-outs work on cashless payments.
What does the organizer see from every vendor, live?
Blend's live board shows what each bar and booth is selling right now: its revenue, its number of sales and its top items. Every sale carries the name of the person or company its till code was given to, so the organizer knows which vendor, and which staff member, sold what. Blenny, Blend's own AI agent, reads the same numbers: ask "which vendor is selling most?" in English or Arabic.
Can partner shops sell the organizer's events too?
Yes. Blend's branches let partner shops and kiosks sell the organizer's event tickets from their own Blend till. The organizer picks which events each branch sells and which payment methods it takes, cash, card or Whish on US dollar events, and issues a one-time code for its device. Every branch closes its day with a Z-report of tender totals, tax and commission, and the organizer sees each settlement and who owes whom. See how the whole venue runs on on-ground event operations.
