Get started with Streatflow in 10 minutes

A quick setup guide for UK street food vendors: add bookings, track expenses, build simple food safety routines and stay organised.

Streatflow is built for UK street food vendors who want one place to run operations - bookings, invoices, expenses, staff rotas, food safety routines and compliance - without spreadsheets.

Step 1 - Create your account

Create your organisation and set your basics. You can invite team members later if you run shifts.

Tip: Keep your company details accurate - it makes invoices and compliance docs easier.

Step 2 - Add your next booking (market, festival, catering)

Add your next event and store everything in one place:

  • organiser name + contact details
  • address + setup notes
  • arrival time, pitch info and equipment needs
  • deposit and payment status

This becomes your “source of truth” for the event.

Step 3 - Log expenses as you go (not at the end of the month)

Track the things that usually get missed:

  • fuel, ingredients, packaging
  • pitch fees, parking, tolls
  • equipment, repairs and maintenance

Attach receipts so you’re not chasing paperwork later.

Step 4 - Keep food safety routines consistent

Temperature logging is about consistency. A simple routine that actually gets done beats a perfect routine that never happens.

Start with:

  • fridges/freezers (at set times)
  • hot holding (during service)
  • quick notes for corrective actions if needed

Step 5 - Stay organised week-to-week

Use tasks and reminders so prep and service days don’t live in your head.

Examples:

  • “Stock check Thursday”
  • “Order packaging”
  • “Upload insurance renewal”
