As a host you agree to:

Organise weekly online markets using the tools within the platform.

Register with and connect my Host account to Stripe our payment provider.

Source producers with produce which fits our model of transparency, quality and wherever possible is local whilst avoiding any conflicts of interest between producers.
-
Organise the local collection at the same time each week at a great, indoor venue and warmly welcome and help customers.
-
Recruit customers, promote your Food Hub and grow it to a sustainable level so that the primary producers have a worthwhile outlet and you are rewarded to a level commensurate with the amount of work involved.
-
Be open, helpful and supportive with other hosts and producers and collaborate where possible.
-
Only retain personal data of Members and Producers for matters related to The Great British Food Hub, and never share their data.

Do not pressurise Producers to deliver if their orders are exceptionally low, rather look for solutions where they can still fulfil their orders.
-
Remember that The Great British Food Hub is run by the hosts and your suggestions and feedback will always be welcome.
A 10% commission is paid to the Host on all confirmed sales each week. Producers receive 80% of their sales and The Great British Food Hub receives 10% which covers all payment provider charges, administration, insurance, advertising, marketing materials website support and development of the platform and the apps.
