Festival and fan zone challenges

High footfall makes queue-based service hard to scale.

  • Sudden rushes overload bars and food points within minutes.
  • Long queues reduce spend and lower guest satisfaction.
  • Temporary teams need clear fulfilment workflows quickly.
  • Collection confusion creates repeat interruptions at counters.
  • Demand can vary sharply by stage schedule or match timing.
