Where these numbers come from

Prefills are typical midpoints from published vendor data — every one is editable, and your own numbers always beat an average. Sources:

Booth fees: craft fairs $25–$2,000+ by tier (Boothly, TheCraftMap); farmers markets $20–$100/day (FindHomegrown, City of Overland Park); food vendor events commonly $125–$300/day (Watch City Festival, WA Food Truck Assoc., FoodTruckEmpire).
Average sale price: craft fair transactions average $15–$35 (Made Urban, TheCraftMap); farmers market spend per visit $15–$50, ~$35 national average (Penn State Extension, USU Extension); food orders typically $8–$16.50 (FoodTruckLease, VendorLoop).
Transactions per day: craft fairs ~1–3% of attendees buy per booth (CraftsTrack, Made Urban); farmers market vendors gross $150–$600/day (FindHomegrown); festival food vendors serve 250–400 customers on a full day (FoodTruckLease, GoTruckster).
Season length: farmers market seasons run 20–25 weeks (Illinois Extension, FindHomegrown).
Materials/COGS: food cost commonly runs ~28–35% of sales (industry norm); craft and farmers prefills are conventional figures — adjust to your actual costs.
