Question 1

What does VenuMark replace?

Accepted Answer

The PDF application, the Google Form, the email chain, and the spreadsheet. If you're running food vendor applications through any of those today, VenuMark consolidates the workflow with compliance scoring built in.

Question 2

Is the inspection data legitimate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Florida DBPR (Department of Business and Professional Regulation) publishes inspection records as public data. VenuMark syncs that data weekly and presents it as VMScore. We don't make the data, the state does. We make it readable.

Question 3

Do my vendors have to sign up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free for them. Vendors fill out a profile and document vault once, then apply to every future event in two clicks. Most vendors prefer one place to maintain documents over resubmitting them every event.

Question 4

What if I'm not in Florida?

Accepted Answer

The application workflow works anywhere. The compliance data layer (VMScore) is Florida-only today, every food truck and caterer licensed by Florida DBPR. We're tracking expansion based on demand. Contact us with where you operate.

Question 5

Can I downgrade if my event volume drops?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch tiers any time. Going from Growth back to Free keeps your data, you just hit the active event limit until you upgrade again.

Question 6

What does "active event" mean?

Accepted Answer

An event with applications open or under review. Closed and completed events don't count toward your limit. A brewery running one recurring weekly event stays on Free indefinitely.

Question 7

Is there a contract?

Accepted Answer

Monthly plans are month-to-month, cancel anytime. Annual plans bill yearly with two months free. Enterprise is scoped per pilot, no off-the-shelf contract.

Question 8

I run Food Truck Friday every week. Do I need to create 52 events?

Accepted Answer

No. Growth tier includes recurring event templates — set up Food Truck Friday once with rotation rules, and the platform creates each weekly event automatically. Vendors apply for the rotation, not individual dates.

Question 9

My trucks are mostly the same every week. Do they reapply each time?

Accepted Answer

No. Once a vendor is on your approved roster, they stay there. New applicants apply to join the rotation. Your weekly operations are about scheduling who's on which date, not re-vetting.

Question 10

I'm a brewery, not a procurement office. Is this overkill for me?

Accepted Answer

Free tier is built for you. One recurring event (Food Truck Friday), unlimited applications, VMScore on every applicant, full audit log. No procurement workflow required.
