Right now, booking a vendor is a leap of faith

You're already vetting vendors.
You just can't see what the state sees.

  • ✕The PDF, the Google Form, the group chat — and the "did we ever get that COI?" text at 9pm the night before.
  • ✕You vet on a logo and a good vibe. The vendor's real Florida inspection record? You never see it.
  • ✕Licenses and insurance expire quietly. You find out when something goes wrong.
  • ✕A vendor was fine when you booked them three weeks ago. Are they fine today?
"33 live roaches. One food truck. Your event."
Florida DBPR orders emergency closures every week. Most venue operators never check — until it's their name on the flyer.
VenuMark flips it: book by the record, not the badge — and keep watching it right up to load-in.
The whole workflow, in one place

Let's work together to…

Four things every Florida venue needs from a vendor program — and what VenuMark does about each. All shipped, all working today.

"Let's work together" isn't a tagline — it's the model. The real record on the table before anyone commits.
…so your events fill themselves.

Fill your event

One public event page with a clean share link. Drop it anywhere — your site, a Facebook group, an email blast — and watch verified vendors apply.

  • ✓Public event page + copy-paste share link (auto-builds preview cards for Facebook, LinkedIn & Slack)
  • ✓Invite vendors you already know and trust, straight to an event
  • ✓Single, multi-day, and recurring events — set the cadence once
…so you know exactly who's rolling up.

Know who you're booking

Every applicant arrives with a VMScore built from real Florida DBPR inspection history. Then the watchlist keeps checking — daily — until your gates open.

  • ✓VMScore (0–100) on every single applicant, with the full scorecard
  • ✓Watchlist: daily re-checks on your booked roster, with alerts & a weekly digest
  • ✓Cross-venue reliability & no-show history surfaces when they apply
…so the paperwork runs itself.

Stop chasing documents

Require the right documents per event. Need one from an applicant? Request it in a click — VenuMark emails them, takes the upload, attaches it, and pings you back.

  • ✓Require COI, DBPR license, FDACS, fire safety, liquor & more — per event
  • ✓One-click document requests with a full request-and-fulfill loop
  • ✓Document Vault: vendors upload once; expiry tracked with 60/30/7-day reminders
…so every decision is defensible.

Run it like a pro

A real applications pipeline — approve, deny, revoke, invite, bulk-move. Set a score line and auto-decline below it. Every action logged, exportable, and ready for the insurer's question.

  • ✓Full pipeline + auto-decline below your VMScore line
  • ✓Audit history & CSV exports (applicants, approved roster, scores)
  • ✓Post-event outcomes (attended / no-show / late) feed reliability over time
The check that happens after you book

Most platforms check once. VenuMark keeps watching.

You vetted them three weeks ago. The watchlist re-runs every vendor on your roster against live DBPR data — every day — so a lapsed license or a fresh violation reaches you before they reach your event.

  • ✓Daily VMScore, tier & license diffs on every booked vendor
  • ✓Alerts the moment something changes — plus a weekly digest
  • ✓Catch the problem while you still have time to swap a slot

Three steps

From empty calendar to booked, vetted lineup.

1

Post your event

Set the date, location, vendor spots, and exactly which documents every vendor must provide. Then copy your share link and put it anywhere. Minutes, not a redesign.

2

Vendors apply, pre-scored

Each application lands with a VMScore and verified documents already attached. Blocked applicants (expired or missing docs) are flagged before they ever reach you.

3

Review & book

Approve, request a doc, or decline with a reason. Set a score line and auto-decline below it. The watchlist takes over until load-in.

What's a VMScore

A 0–100 compliance score on every vendor — built from the state's record, not a self-applied badge.

Pulled from Florida's public DBPR inspection history: food-safety findings, recency, and severity. Book by the number. Set your line. Sleep at night.

"I built VenuMark because I watched venues book food vendors on a hope and a PDF — and eat the fallout when it went wrong. Florida already keeps the inspection record. We just put it in front of you, attached it to every application, and kept watching it until your gates open. If that's the event you're running, come build your lineup on it."
