Craft Show Tracker: Booth Log

You packed the van at six, paid ninety dollars for the pitch, drove two hours and stood behind the table until four. You came home with a tin of cash and no idea whether the day was worth repeating. Booth Log answers that, in numbers. Profit per hour, show against show Booth Log takes off what each item cost you to make, then the booth fee, then the travel. Then it divides what is left by the hours you stood there, and ranks every show you did by that number. The last step is the one that decides next year's calendar. No ads. No subscription. Nothing to sign up for. Everything you do at a market is free. Pro is one payment, once. How it works Record what you take to a market, tap each sale as it happens, then enter the booth fee, the travel and the hours you actually worked. Booth Log shows you what the day paid — gross takings, less what your materials cost, less the pitch, less the petrol — and what that came to per hour of your time. Then it does the thing a shoebox of receipts never will: it puts your shows side by side. The fair that took the most is often not the one that paid the best. A quiet Saturday afternoon that cleared two hundred dollars beats a two-day festival that cleared three, and only the hourly figure tells you. Built for the table, not the desk The sell screen is one tap per item. No confirmation, no menus, no quantity picker to fumble. Tap the mug, the mug is sold. Get it wrong and undo it. Everything is big enough to hit with cold hands while somebody waits. No account. Ever. There is no sign-up, no password, no email, no cloud. Booth Log does not have a server to store anything on. Your records live on your phone and nowhere else, which also means the app works perfectly in a field with one bar of signal, a barn with none, or a hall where the wifi belongs to somebody else. Every number shows its working Booth Log never just announces a profit. It shows you the subtraction — takings, materials, pitch, travel — and lets you tap through to the sales underneath. If it disagrees with your own arithmetic, you can see exactly where. It also checks your stock honestly. Count what you take and what you bring home, and Booth Log compares that against what you rang up. When the two disagree it tells you by how much and stops there, because a gap might be an unrecorded sale or a miscount and no app can tell which. What it does • Every show you book, with what each one actually paid • A pack list, counted out and counted back in • One-tap selling, with cash, card and other kept apart • Booth fee, travel and hours worked, per show • Profit per hour, so two shows compare honestly • A CSV of everything you have recorded, free, always Booth Log Pro — one payment, no subscription Pro unlocks the season: every show ranked by what it paid per hour, totals across the whole year, and a tidy CSV and PDF to hand your accountant. Nothing you do at a market is behind it. Packing, selling, undo and settling up a show are free, and stay free. So is exporting your own records. Pro is for the evening in January when you decide next year's calendar. One payment, once. There is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel. What it is not Booth Log does not take card payments and does not connect to Etsy or Shopify. It is not accounting software and it does not file anything for you. It is a record of what happened at each market and what it was worth. Made for weekend makers, market traders and craft fair regulars.
