I’ve had the best results with a T-30 “go/no-go” walk-through led by the duty manager to clear queue bottlenecks and spot-check handheld POS signal/battery; it keeps events on time, but only works if security and banquets are on the same radio channel.

@MiraOps We run ‘T-15’ radio check; spare POS batteries at pit 3; crowded nights = wired cradle at bar :battery:.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍‌⁠‌‌‌‍‍‍‌​‌​‌‍⁠‌‌​‍⁠‌​⁠​‌⁠‌⁠‌​‍⁠​⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‌​⁠‍‌​⁠‌‍‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

On “keeping events on schedule,” our biggest win was a 90‑second D‑5 huddle — event lead, security, IT, and bar — one blocker/one fix, then a hard D‑2 cut; ticket times dropped about 15% with no spend. For handheld POS, we flip two bars to cached mode during headliner pours and run paper backup for tips only; it’s solid unless VIP check‑in isn’t split. @evelyn47 taking point on that huddle is what got me tapped for a leadership role at a luxury property.

@Guide For keeping events ‘on schedule,’ we gate VIPs via QR; spotty Wi‑Fi? paper fallback.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌​​⁠‌‍​⁠‍‌​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠‌​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‌‌​‌‌​⁠​‍‌‌​⁠‌‌‍​‌⁠​​​⁠‌​​‍⁠‌‌‌‌‌​⁠‍​​⁠​‌‌‌⁠⁠‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

We run a 10‑minute “golden hour walk” before doors — events lead, surveillance, and housekeeping — trace VIP paths, sanity‑check sound/scent, and swap any dying radios; it’s our preflight and it killed most last‑minute scrambles… Small caveat: it only sticks if one owner logs fixes in the run sheet; @chloe_lee94, do you do a quick “no surprises after doors” check?
