Music Festival Concessions: 3 Things For Breweries to Consider Before Serving

By

If your brewery will be pouring beers at a music festival this year, be prepared to mingle with great people, enjoy a busy schedule, and probably score a few complimentary concert tickets.

However, serving concert-goers at a festival is a different experience than serving customers at a taphouse. Breweries should consider these three logistic issues beforehand to ensure success.

Restocking Efficiently

Does your brewery own an eye-catching bar trailer for catering large events? Or are you keeping your setup streamlined and sleek with a tent and a portable tap station? There are plenty of ways to design a concession booth that reels in customers, but keeping it well-stocked is the key to keeping those customers happy.

Once your team has decided what your concession stand will look like, sketch out a plan for how you’ll restock heavy kegs, boxes of cups, cans, and other necessary items throughout the day.

Investing in customized moving equipment is one of the best ways to keep your team safe and efficient during busy festival days. Here are two features breweries should equip their material handling tools with:

  • Pneumatic wheels designed for outdoor terrain are perfect for traversing the grassy, gravel venues of most music festivals.
  • Keg hooks and other stabilizing features can help your team keep the brews and good times flowing while staying safe and efficient.

Setting Up and Dismantling a Stand

Will your team be serving drinks at a major festival with a huge headliner? Or will you be slinging brews at a laid-back festival with a local lineup? Either way, preparing a concession stand takes a few helping hands and great equipment. Since vendors have a tight timeline for setting up and dismantling their stations, it’s important to work out the logistics ahead of time.

Electric Dolly

An electric dolly with three versatile front attachments can help your team set up your station efficiently and safely. A tent pole pusher attachment can help you set up a shaded area, while a trailer hitch attachment can make towing heavy supplies to your station relatively easy. Whether you’re setting up a tent or pulling up to 3,500 pounds on a flat surface, the right dolly makes all the difference.

 Organizing Storage Spaces Beforehand

During a busy rush at your taphouse, you and your team have a home-field advantage. At a festival, on the other hand, your team needs to be set up for success in a totally new environment. Organizing your storage areas ahead of time is essential.

Organizing and fully stocking your brick-and-mortar storage spaces can help your team stay level-headed during busy festival weeks. Be sure to clearly label which inventory, from batches of brews to bartending supplies, is reserved for upcoming festivals. Safety-boosting material handling tools can also help your team stay organized and efficient before the festival.

By addressing these three logistics issues ahead of time, your brewery can keep lines short and customers happy at music festivals.
