How Do I Set My Minimums and Driving Distance?
On the Services page of your Roaming Hunger Dashboard, you'll be able to show how, where, and for how much you serve your food at an event. Completing your Services will help our system send you better leads for your business. Start by finding "Services" under the main dropdown menu on your Dashboard:
1. Set Your First Service Type
Each account starts with one default Service. Select "Edit" to begin filling in the details for that Service. Later, you can add more Services by selecting "Add New Service."
Use the Type dropdown to update your Service Type. If you offer multiple Services, great! We'll get to that later. Name your first Service to help tell them apart.
2. How Far Would You Drive for an Event?
Update your Service Radius to tell our system how far you would drive for an event. First, set your starting address (where you park and begin your journey). Next, specify how far you would normally drive without an extra charge, then the farthest distance you would ever go to serve at an event. Lastly, set your cost per mile to drive anywhere between your Included and Maximum distances. This will ensure you will be compensated for driving long distances.
In the example below, the vendor would normally drive 20 miles without extra charge, but if they were asked to drive 50 miles for an event, the client would be billed $60 as a travel fee.
3. What Is Your Service Minimum?
If you are receiving leads that are priced too low, enter a dollar amount under Service Minimum, to only receive leads with budgets that are above that amount. Please note that this number is payment for an entire event, not a per-person price.
4. How Long Do You Normally Serve?
If you normally quote for 2 hours of service, but a client asks you to serve for 3 or more, completing the Service Hours section will apply an hourly charge so you are compensated for more time onsite, staffed and serving.
5. What Else Can You Do?
Under Additional Capabilities, check all services that event hosts can expect when they book you. These options will vary by service type. (Pictured: Traditional Catering)
6. How Big Is Your Truck/Cart/Trailer/Pop-up?
Sometimes, clients want to know how much space your vehicle will take up. Specify that under Service Dimensions.
7. What Events Do You Want to Hear About?
Do you only serve at pre-paid catering events? Do you prefer to work with a Roaming Hunger agent versus directly with the host? Checking or un-checking Opportunity Notifications will help us send you the best opportunities.
When you are finished, be sure to Save Changes. You may then add more Services to your account on the main Services page, or count this section complete.
