Late or missing — festival

9 vendors still missing Day 2 totals — per-day coverage indicator shows exactly where the gap is.

"The festival ended three weeks ago. Finance is still reconciling it."

01 The chase

Day-by-day totals show up in Slack, email, and spreadsheets across three teams.

02 The piece-together

Mixed POS, mixed staff, mixed tender types — and sponsor reports that need receipts, not vibes.

03 The wait

Post-festival Monday becomes forensic accounting for a month.

There's a cleaner way to close a festival. Without forcing every vendor to migrate POS.

The three outcomes

What changes on MoneyLayer.

Less chasing vendors.

Fewer cross-team email threads after festival close. Each vendor sees one submit link, not four.

Clearer settlement.

Know what is owed by vendor, by day, by festival — in one day-by-day rollup view.

Credible revenue truth.

Every festival number has a per-day coverage indicator and a proof source attached.

How MoneyLayer works

Three steps. One number per vendor.

Operational, not technical. The mechanism stays visible.

1. Connected data pulls in automatically.

Where Square, Stripe, Toast and other connected POS exist, sales sync with zero vendor effort.

2. Everyone else submits a structured total.

Cash, Venmo, Cash App, and off-POS vendors get one universal link. Optional evidence attached.

3. MoneyLayer shows what is in, what is missing, and what is ready to settle.

One coverage-aware view. Your festival-wide settlement is a dashboard, not a thread.

Coverage-aware proof

Trust, visible before you ask.

Freshness, coverage, and proof are user-facing concepts. Every number has all three attached.

The walkthrough

Day-by-day rollup. Final-day export.

  1. 1
    Start

    Day 1 wraps.

    Close is marked per-day. Coverage starts tracking the moment vendors are open.

  2. 2
    Middle

    Every day, every vendor syncs or submits.

    Connected POS vendors sync automatically. Everyone else submits a daily total with optional evidence.

  3. 3
    Exception state

    Per-day coverage indicator.

    Missing numbers show up on the day they're missing — not three weeks later in a finance email.

  4. 4
    End

    Final-day export.

    After the festival closes, one festival-wide export feeds finance, sponsors, and revenue-share partners.

No tool switch required

MoneyLayer fits on top of what vendors already use.

Connected tools where possible. Self-report where not. Mixed tender and mixed POS is expected, not a blocker. Your vendors never migrate systems to make your reporting work.

Why the number is trustworthy

Three cards. One answer per question.

Freshness

How recent is this number?

Updated tonight vs waiting until next week.

Coverage

How much of the event is represented?

"22 of 28 vendors are in."

Proof

Where did this number come from?

Connected source, vendor submission, or screenshot attached.

Questions we get.

What if my vendors use different POS systems?

Square, Stripe, Toast, and Clover sync automatically. Everyone else submits a structured daily total.

What if some vendors only take cash?

Daily submission link per vendor. Optional evidence attached. Logged with day and timestamp.

What if a vendor submits late?

Late is visible on the day it's late — not three weeks later. Reminders go out per-day.

How do I know the number is trustworthy?

Every vendor-day carries freshness, coverage, and proof. Sponsors and finance get receipts, not vibes.

Do vendors have to change POS?

Never. We fit on top of whatever a festival vendor already brings.

Is this for one-off events or recurring festivals?

Recurring or seasonal festivals where vendor revenue truth is a compliance, sponsor, or revenue-share need.

Good fit

  • You coordinate recurring or seasonal festivals with large vendor populations.

  • You have sponsor, revenue-share, or compliance reporting needs tied to vendor totals.

  • You already chase numbers across teams, vendors, and tools.

  • You need provenance and coverage when finance asks "where did this come from?"

Not a fit yet

  • You run single-vendor events with no vendor revenue reporting.

  • You centrally run every vendor on one controlled POS.

  • You expect fully automated truth without any vendor participation.
