Oxygen cocktail pop-up stall

Event-goers, plus event organisers and private hosts who book you as an attraction.

Price per drink, or a flat hire fee or minimum spend for private and corporate events. Alcohol-free versions can run at many events with less red tape.

• Customer service
• Drink making and presentation
• Event planning and logistics
• Social media for a visual product

• Food business registration with your local council, and temporary stall notifications for events (rules differ by state and council)
• Serving alcohol usually needs a liquor licence or permit, so check with your state's liquor regulator, or start alcohol-free
• Safe use and storage of gas cylinders and oxygen equipment, so check supplier guidance and event rules
• Avoid health claims about oxygen, as these can raise consumer law and advertising issues
• Public liability insurance, which most events require
• Weather and uneven event income

Startup costs are typically around $4,000 to $15,000, depending on your equipment, stall setup, stock and insurance. Treat this as an estimate and get quotes from suppliers before you commit to buying anything.

Monthly revenue is typically around $2,000 to $10,000, depending on how many events you work, your pricing and the weather. These are estimates only, and event income can be uneven, so plan for quieter months.

Things to check: food business registration with your local council, temporary stall notifications for events, and a liquor licence or permit if you serve alcohol (rules differ by state). Also check gas cylinder safety guidance and public liability insurance requirements.
