Join the Allbites 2026 operator cohort. Own the exclusive rights to operate a market in your community.
Apply NowAllbites partners with ambitious operators to launch and grow thriving weekly food markets — bringing communities together and creating long-term commercial opportunities.
This is not a franchise and it is not employment. It's a structured partnership model designed to help operators build and run their own market business with the support, systems, tools and operational expertise of the Allbites team.
We accept a limited number of new applicants each year across selected territories.
You are responsible for launching and growing your own weekly market business within your local area. Hands-on, ambitious, long-term.
The support, systems and expertise to help you launch and grow a commercially successful market — plus the wider community behind it.
Allbites is built by experienced market operators, event specialists, marketers, planners and commercial advisors who understand what makes markets succeed long-term.
Between us, we've launched and operated hundreds of markets. Our role is to help operators avoid common mistakes, build strong foundations and launch commercially sustainable markets designed for long-term success.
Identifying and securing a suitable location — public spaces, community venues, private landowners or development sites.
Once a location is secured, the focus shifts to building the market itself.
Operators launch and manage the market on an ongoing weekly basis, building consistency over time.
We welcome applications from ambitious individuals interested in building and operating a long-term market business within their local area. Previous market experience isn't required. Having a location in mind already is helpful, but not essential.
Two one-off set-up payments plus an ongoing 5% — paid by you to Allbites, separate from how the market makes money week to week.
Identifying and securing a suitable location — public spaces, community venues, private landowners or development sites.
Payable once a location is secured. The focus shifts to building the market itself.
We charge traders on your behalf and retain 5% of invoices. Operators launch and manage the market on an ongoing weekly basis, building consistency over time.
Once trading, the market generates weekly revenue from stallholders. You keep the takings after a small Allbites platform fee and your landlord rent — there are no further fees to us.
Market performance varies depending on location, demand, stallholder mix, footfall, rental agreements and operational consistency. As a simplified example, a market with 40 stallholders paying £50 per week generates approximately £2,000 in weekly revenue. Allbites deducts an ongoing 5% platform and payment processing fee — this is the only recurring fee, and is entirely separate from the Phase 1 and Phase 2 set-up payments above.
Well-operated markets with strong locations and effective management can become highly profitable long-term businesses. Performance varies significantly between operators, locations and local conditions. We encourage all applicants to approach this as a real operational business requiring long-term commitment.
Rolling applications across selected territories. The next cohort starts in September. Successful applicants will be invited to an introductory call.
