How food festival ticketing works on Vihaya Events

6 steps from signup to live event. Most organisers go live in under 5 minutes.

1. Create the festival

Add dates, venue and the stalls or cuisines featured. A multi-day festival can run one sub-event per day.

2. Set up passes

Entry-only, entry-plus-meals, tasting flights and family bundles as separate tiers with their own prices and caps.

3. Capture dietary needs

Veg, non-veg, vegan, Jain and allergies as custom fields, so the kitchen has real numbers rather than a guess.

4. Sell by UPI

Attendees pay by UPI or card and receive a QR pass instantly.

5. Scan for entry and for food

The gate scanner admits; the separate food scanner redeems meals against the pass's limit and shows veg or non-veg to the counter.

6. Reconcile

See meals served by counter and by session, and export the full attendance and redemption data afterwards.

Built for food festival ticketing in India

Meal redemption with limits

The food scanner enforces a per-ticket meal limit inside an atomic transaction, so two stalls cannot both serve the last meal on a pass.

Veg and non-veg at the counter

The scanner shows dietary type as colour and icon before service — the one thing a food counter must not get wrong.

Cooldown between servings

An optional cooldown period between redemptions on the same pass, configurable per event.

Dietary data capture

Veg, non-veg, vegan, Jain and allergy fields collected at booking and exported for the kitchen.

Per-counter tallies

Each counter sees its own session tally and the overall served progress, so stock decisions are based on real numbers.

Free entry supported

Free festivals cost nothing to run; the platform fee applies only to paid passes.

§FAQ · Food Festival Ticketing

Food Festival Ticketing on Vihaya Events — common questions

Last updated 2026-05-09.

Can I include food coupons with a ticket?

+
Yes. Set a meal limit per ticket type and use the dedicated food scanner at your counters. Each redemption is recorded against that specific pass inside an atomic transaction, so a pass cannot be served beyond its limit even if two counters scan it at the same moment.

How do counter staff know if someone is vegetarian?

+
The food scanner shows dietary type as a colour and an icon on the result banner, before the food is served, rather than as a line of text that is easy to miss in a queue. Dietary preference is captured at booking through a custom registration field.

Can I stop someone using the same pass repeatedly?

+
Yes. Alongside the hard per-ticket meal limit, you can set a cooldown period so the same pass cannot be redeemed again for a configurable number of minutes. Setting it to zero disables the cooldown if you do not want one.

Does the food scanner work separately from the entry gate?

+
Yes, they are separate desks. The gate scanner admits people to the festival; the food scanner redeems meals. Someone can be admitted once and served several times up to their limit, which is exactly how a food festival works.

What if entry to my festival is free?

+
Then it costs nothing. Free events carry no platform fee and no monthly subscription. You can still use the meal scanner, dietary capture and check-in desk on a free event.
