From Open Slot to Confirmed Booking: How an Event Moves Through Chomp

August 6, 20263 min readChomp Team

An event starts with a few practical questions: where is it, when does it happen, what kind of vendor belongs there, and how many openings are available?

Chomp keeps those answers attached as the event moves from planning to booking.

The host opens a vendor slot

A venue or event host begins with the event itself. They add the date, location, description, vendor type, available slots, and any on-site or document requirements a business should understand before applying.

Publishing the opening makes that opportunity available to relevant mobile vendors without separating it from the event plan.

A vendor finds the opportunity

Mobile vendors can browse openings and inspect the details before deciding whether an event fits their business.

The event page carries the venue, schedule, address, vendor category, number of open spots, and host requirements. The vendor then applies as their business, adds a message explaining what they will bring, and provides any file required with the application.

The host reviews the application

The application returns to the host with its event context intact. The host can see who applied, which event they selected, the vendor's message, and any submitted documents before approving or declining.

That makes the decision part of the event workflow instead of another loose message to reconcile later.

Approval becomes a booking

When the host approves an application, Chomp carries the vendor into a confirmed booking connected to the event schedule.

The booking, event details, document status, and calendar stay related, giving the people running the event one place to return when plans need attention.

Customers find the finished event

Public event discovery gives customers a view of what is happening nearby. They can browse by date, open an event, see the host and location, and save the events they want to remember.

The result is one connected path: the host opens the opportunity, the vendor applies, the host confirms the booking, and the event becomes easier to find.
