Buntico — Event operations, simplified

For event organisers

Run brilliant events. Skip the paperwork.

Buntico handles the part of event organising nobody started an events business for — vendor paperwork, insurance chasing, pitch bookings, payments and refunds — so you can get back to building events people love.

No card required. Set up your first event in minutes.

Sound familiar?

Every event, the same routine.

A spreadsheet of stall holders. An inbox full of insurance certificates — some current, some expired, some missing entirely. Payment chasing by text. A hot food pitch double-booked because two emails crossed. And three days before gates open, you're phoning a trader whose public liability cover ran out last month.

None of that is organising events. It's administration — and it's exactly what Buntico was built to remove.

How it works

From listing to live in three steps

1

Create your event

A clean editor, your photos, your dates, your venue. Define your stall types — hot food, crafts, garden trade — each with its own price, pitch quota, and the documents it requires. Published in minutes, looking the way you want.

2

Vendors book themselves

Stall holders register, upload their insurance and certificates, and book a pitch — but only when their documents check out. You review each certificate once, set the verified expiry, and the platform enforces it from then on.

3

The platform does the chasing

Payments collected by card and settled to your account. Expiry reminders sent at 30, 14 and 7 days by email and text — to them, not from you. Sold-out stall types run their own waitlists. Cancellations refund themselves.

Features

Everything the clipboard used to do. And everything it couldn't.

Document verification, built in.

Insurance, food hygiene, gas safety, alcohol licences — uploaded once by the vendor, reviewed by you, tracked forever. Bookings are blocked the moment cover doesn't reach your event date.

Stall quotas that hold the line.

Eight hot food pitches means eight. Quotas are enforced at payment, not on a spreadsheet — the double-booked pitch is a thing of your past.

Payments without the awkward part.

Card payments at booking, settled directly to your account through Stripe. Refunds in a click. Receipts sent automatically.

Reminders you never have to send.

Expiring insurance triggers automatic email and SMS reminders to the vendor — and a heads-up to you. The uninsured-trader-at-the-gate phone call retires.

The bad days, handled.

Cancel an event and every affected vendor and ticket holder is notified and refunded in one confirmed action. Change a date and every booking's documents are re-checked instantly.

Waitlists that work while you sleep.

When a pitch frees up, the next vendor in line gets 24 hours' first refusal — offered, chased and filled without you touching it.

Sell tickets too.

Public ticket sales with QR e-tickets and a phone-camera check-in scanner for the gate. Same dashboard, same payout, no extra ticketing platform taking its cut.

An audit trail for the day you need one.

Every document you approved, every date you verified, every refund you issued — recorded. If a question ever comes after an event, the answer is one search away.

Vendor angle

Your vendors will thank you

Vendors upload their documents once and use them for every organiser on Buntico — no more emailing the same insurance certificate to fifteen different inboxes a season. One profile, one document vault, every event they trade at. Easier for them means faster, fuller bookings for you.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do my vendors have to pay to use it?

No. Vendor accounts are free. They register, upload documents and book pitches at no charge — they pay only your pitch fees.

Where does the money go?

Straight to you. Payments are processed by Stripe into your own account. We never hold your event income.

What if a vendor's insurance runs out after they've booked?

They're reminded automatically at 30, 14 and 7 days before expiry — and if a document lapses while they hold a booking at your event, you're both alerted immediately.

Can I still take offline bookings?

Yes. Add manual bookings for vendors who pay by other means; they sit alongside online bookings with the same document checks.

What do I need to get started?

An email address and about ten minutes. Connect your Stripe account when you're ready to take payments.

Is my data locked in?

No. Export your data any time. It's yours.

Your next event, minus the admin.

Set up free in minutes. Your vendors will wonder why every organiser doesn't do it this way.
