LINE MANAGEMENT TIPS
PLAN YOUR FLOW SIGNAGE
Guests move faster when they know what’s next. Have your planner or coordinator provide signage that directs guests to the bar, and we’ll handle everything from the press station forward.
STAGE THE PATCHES
Let guests choose while queueing. Cuts on-station time by 40%.
ADD A SECOND PRESS
For 200+ guests in a 2-hour window, always run two stations. Ask us.
