Van Load-Out & Event Day Checklist Form

A load-out checklist template — food, equipment and documents, so nothing’s left behind on the way to an event.

Description

The worst feeling in street food is arriving at a pitch and realising the spare gas bottle, the card reader or the insurance certificate is sitting back at base. This checklist stops that happening. It runs through everything that needs to be on the van — the food and stock, the equipment, and the documents — so you pull away knowing you’ve got the lot. It’s grouped the way you actually load: prepped food chilled and enough for your covers; gas, generator, water and handwash; and the paperwork that gets you trading — insurance, hygiene and gas certificates, risk assessment and pitch confirmation. A quick vehicle check and a sign-off mean you leave organised, not frantic. Use it every event day before you set off. Free, brandable, and the two-minute habit that saves a ruined day.
