## What is GrindKit?

GrindKit is the all-in-one business app built specifically for mobile coffee vendors. Find events, price the job, communicate with organizers, and track your revenue—without juggling a dozen different tools.

Built by a mobile coffee vendor who ran a truck for six years, GrindKit puts your entire business workflow in one place. No more scrolling Facebook groups for leads, pricing jobs on gut feel, or losing track of which events actually made money.

What you get with GrindKit:
- Event Discovery — AI-powered search finds farmers markets, festivals, corporate events, and pop-up opportunities near you. Filter by distance, see vendor fees, estimated attendance, and application links.
- Pipeline Management — Track every event from discovery through completion. See your status at a glance, manage contacts, and never let an opportunity slip.
- Kit AI Assistant — Your personal business mentor. Get pricing advice, draft professional responses to organizers, and generate polished quotes—all tailored to your business.
- Quoting & Pricing Templates — Build reusable pricing configs for per-head, per-hour, flat rate, or hybrid models. Kit walks you through setup conversationally.
- Communication Threads — Receive and respond to inbound inquiries right in the app. Email bridge keeps conversations organized alongside each event.
- Revenue Tracking — Connect Square POS to auto-import daily sales, then link revenue to specific events. See quoted vs. actual vs. variance for every job.
- Go Live Broadcasting — Let customers know where you are today with a shareable live location widget for your website.
- Inbound Lead Capture — Embed a booking inquiry form on your website. Leads flow directly into your pipeline with push notifications.

Free to start, Pro when you grow:
GrindKit is free to use—the whole toolkit, with a few usage limits: up to 10 active events, 10 Kit AI messages a day, 1 saved pricing template, and a branded booking page.
Upgrade to Pro to lift every limit: unlimited active events, unlimited Kit AI messages, unlimited pricing templates, and an unbranded booking page. Everything else—event discovery, pipeline, quotes, two-way email, Go Live, and Square revenue sync—is included free, no caps.
Pro: $14.99/month, or $9.99/month billed annually ($119.99/year).

GrindKit is built for mobile coffee vendors—but if you run a food truck, catering trailer, mobile bar, or any pop-up business, you'll feel right at home.

### 1/5 — Another Unneeded App

*2026-05-11*

This app charges 199$ a year for the same prospecting data you can get with the free help from a local librarian. It uses AI to try to tell you what to charge which in turn just makes everyone the same price based on flawed internet data. If you aren’t smart enough to figure out quote pricing yourself don’t have a business.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Want to clear up a couple of factual points for anyone reading:

• Pricing is $14.99/month or $9.99/month billed annually ($119.88/year), not $199. 
• The pricing tool is a calculator, not an AI price-setter. It takes your inputs — event size, hours, costs, target margin — and gives you a number. Every vendor's output is different because every vendor's inputs are different.

On the rest — fair enough that GrindKit isn't for everyone. If you've built your own system that works, you don't need ours. It's built for vendors who'd rather not duct-tape spreadsheets and PM tools together.
