CulinaryLocal was a several month undertaking to perfect the design, backend, and build out all the features to have a fully functional events marketplace built on WordPress. Similar to sites like Eventbrite and Ticketleap, customers can list high quality (and often curated) food and drink events. From a customized user portal hosts can manage their events, ticketing options, and view reports.
Leveraging WooCommerce, The Events Calendar, and Adaptive Payments, I was able to build a system that intelligently splits payments between CulinaryLocal and hosts when customers purchase tickets to events.
