# Understanding Indoor, Outdoor, Food Truck, and Other Booth Types

VendorHearth Pro allows each booth option to be assigned a location classification.

These classifications help identify the general type of space being offered and keep booth options organized within an event.

## Available Location Types

VendorHearth includes the following booth location classifications:

- **Indoor**
- **Outdoor**
- **Food Truck**
- **Other**
- **Unspecified**

The classification is separate from the name you give the booth type.

## Indoor

Use **Indoor** for booth spaces located inside a building or other enclosed event space.

For example:

**Booth Name:** 10' × 10' Standard Booth
**Location Type:** Indoor

You can still create multiple indoor booth options with different sizes, prices, or capacities.

## Outdoor

Use **Outdoor** for vendor spaces located outside.

For example:

**Booth Name:** 10' × 20' Outdoor Booth
**Location Type:** Outdoor

The booth name can provide more detail than the location classification itself.

## Food Truck

Use **Food Truck** for spaces specifically intended for food trucks or similar mobile food vendors.

For example:

**Booth Name:** Food Truck Space
**Location Type:** Food Truck

Food truck spaces can have their own pricing and capacity just like other booth types.

## Other

Use **Other** when a booth or participation option does not fit the standard Indoor, Outdoor, or Food Truck classifications.

This provides flexibility for events that offer unusual or specialized spaces.

Give the booth type a descriptive name so vendors can clearly understand what they are selecting.

## Unspecified

**Unspecified** can be used when a booth option does not need a specific location classification.

It may also appear on booth information where a location type has not yet been assigned.

For active events, assigning an appropriate classification when possible can make booth information easier to understand and manage.

## Location Type Does Not Determine Booth Size

The location classification does not define the physical size of the booth.

For example, you can have:

- 10' × 10' Indoor
- 10' × 20' Indoor
- 10' × 10' Outdoor
- 10' × 20' Outdoor

Each can be created as its own booth option.

## Location Type Does Not Determine Price

Indoor, Outdoor, and Food Truck classifications do not automatically set a price.

Pricing is configured on the individual booth type.

This allows two booth options with the same location classification to have different prices.

## Location Type Does Not Determine Capacity

Capacity is also configured separately.

For example:

**10' × 10' Indoor — Capacity: 25**

**10' × 20' Indoor — Capacity: 5**

Both are classified as Indoor, but VendorHearth can track their availability separately.

## Use Clear Booth Names

The location classification helps VendorHearth organize the booth, but vendors should not have to rely on the classification alone to understand what they are purchasing.

A name such as **10' × 10' Indoor Booth** is clearer than simply naming the booth **Standard**.

If an option has special characteristics, include enough information in the booth name to distinguish it from other available options.

## Choosing the Right Classification

When creating a booth type, choose the classification that most closely represents the physical space being offered.

If none of the standard classifications apply, use **Other**.

If a classification has not yet been determined, **Unspecified** is available.
