FOR FOOD HALLS

Many vendors. Shared spaces. One operating system.

Sideworks is food hall management software for the hard part — coordinating independent stalls, shared kitchens, and common areas under one roof. Run shared-space checklists with photo proof, hand tasks to stall operators by public link with no accounts, plan events and activations with vendor collaboration, and keep maintenance for shared equipment on schedule.

The challenge

A dozen businesses, one shared standard.

In a food hall, every stall is its own operation — but the floor, the restrooms, the shared kitchen, and the brand experience are everyone's. The job is coordination without forcing twelve independent operators onto twelve different tools.

Common questions

Food hall operations, answered.

How does Sideworks help a food hall with many vendors?

Food halls live or die on shared-space coordination. Sideworks lets you run cleaning, opening, and closing checklists for common areas, share tasks with independent stall operators by public link (no account needed), plan events and activations with vendor collaboration, and keep preventive maintenance for shared equipment on schedule — all from one app.

Can independent stall operators use it without buying seats?

Yes. Any checklist can be shared by public link, so stall operators, cleaning crews, and contractors complete their assigned tasks with photo proof without an account or an extra paid seat. That keeps coordination simple even when each vendor runs their own business.

Does it handle events and activations?

Yes. Food halls program constantly — markets, tastings, pop-ups. Sideworks event management uses reusable templates, lets you collaborate with vendors and external parties in one place, and produces post-event reports to keep operators and management aligned.

Who manages the shared kitchen and common-area upkeep?

You do, in one place. Preventive maintenance schedules cover shared HVAC, refrigeration, and cleaning, with auto-calculated due dates and overdue alerts. Work orders track one-off repairs, and a vendor directory keeps your service providers organized.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The free tier includes digital checklists and one location with no credit card. Paid plans add scheduling, surveys, events, and multi-location support for larger operations.
