Market Planner: Preparing for Market Day
What This Page Does
The Market Planner helps you work out exactly what to bring to a market, from what you have sold before, your pre-orders, and how many batches you can realistically make. No more selling out by 10am, or packing half of it home at 4.

Planning a Market
- Go to My Kitchen Studio → Market Planner and press New Market Plan.
- Enter the Market Name and Market Date, then Save Plan Details.
- Press + Add Product for everything you are bringing.
What It Works Out for You
- Quantity estimates — a suggested range for each product. With no markets logged it works from the size of the market; every market you wrap up counts for more. Take it or change it.
- Start-by dates — fill in Days ahead you start this and How many fit at once on the recipe, and it tells you how many batches to run and when to start.
- Pre-orders — confirmed pre-orders for that date sit alongside the estimate.
- Ingredients — press Calculate to see what you need, and Send to Shopping List.
- Checklists — Prep (Days Before), Market Day Packing and My Booth Setup.
On the day, Market Day View keeps it simple.
After the Market: Wrap-Up
The Wrap-Up asks what sold and What did the day cost? Your booth fee, other costs and miles go straight into your Profit & Loss in My Stats.
Sold out? Tick I sold out before the market ended and add the time. The planner works out how many you could have sold, and next time suggests at least 15% more than you brought.
Tip — Wrap up every market, even the slow ones. The estimates learn from each one you log.
How a Market Did This Season
Press a market’s card at the top of the planner to see every date you have wrapped up there: what you took each time, your best and slowest days, your best seller, and how much of what you brought sold on average.
