How to Track Food Hall Vendor Rent in a Spreadsheet
Food halls blend base rent and percent-of-sales deals — operators who track only base rent underbill busy stalls and overcharge slow ones. A free food hall vendor rent roll spreadsheet tracks stalls, vendors, base rent, percent rent, paid, and outstanding balances.
One row per vendor per billing period
- Stall / vendor
- Base rent — monthly minimum
- Percent rent — from reported sales (see sales tracker)
- Total due — greater of base or percent deal terms
- Paid and balance
Document deal structure in notes — triple-net vs. gross, marketing fees, CAM charges if applicable.
Percent rent needs sales input
Pull stall sales from the food hall sales tracker before invoicing — guessing percent rent from memory is how operators lose vendor trust and audit disputes.
Align with lease terms
Base rent and percent thresholds should match the lease tracker — renewal rent bumps without lease updates cause invoice arguments.
When food hall / property software wins
POS consolidation, automated percent-rent calculation, and tenant portals justify platforms at multi-hall scale. Single-hall operators often invoice from a sheet until vendor count or percent-deal complexity exceeds comfort.
These templates are rent billing logs, not legal lease documents or accounting systems.
