Eats & Beats brings food and live music into the same courtyard, which means the bar, the kitchen counters and the seated areas all peak at the same minute — twice a night, right after each set.
Melas staffed the full guest-facing floor: bar, service, runners and hosts, briefed together and led by four team leaders so the whole site could be rebalanced between stages in under ten minutes.
A festival is not one service. It is forty short ones, and the only thing that holds them together is the briefing.

TESTIMONIALS
What changed
We ran one briefing for the twenty-four, split them into four led pods, and gave each pod a fallback position for peak. Nothing was improvised on site — the second night reused the first night's pods with a redrawn map.
Average wait at the bar stayed under four minutes through both headliner sets, and the site closed on time on both nights.
