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 section 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?
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 furthest 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 add a travel fee to the client.
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. 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 this section will apply an hourly charge so you are compensated for more time onsite, staffed and serving.
4. How Much Do You Need to Get Paid?
What's a profitable event for you? Tell us how much you need to make from an event at any time of day on any day of the week. This helps us send you worthwhile leads. If there is a day or time that you will not serve, enter a very high number that will never get booked (e.g. $99999). Please fill in all boxes.
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 here.
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 these boxes 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.
