Revenue lies, margins don't
Three real events from a single truck, last September. Same operator, same menu, wildly different margins. Only one is worth rebooking.

“I almost rebooked the festival that cost me $400. One search in PitStop and I saw the actual numbers. Saved me a weekend and a year of Pro.”

“Logged 8 events last month. Turns out my 'bad' Tuesday brewery had a 52% margin, way above the Saturday market I thought was best.”

“My husband and I used to argue after every event about whether it was worth it. Now we log in 2 min and the margin is right there.”
