Part 2 — How the market earns

The ongoing commercial model.

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.

Weekly revenue example

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.

Weekly revenue (40 × £50)£2,000
Allbites platform fee (5%)−£100
Example landlord rent (20%)−£200
Approx. before operating costs£1,700

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.
