PLAN FOR THE RHYTHM OF THE EVENT
Tournaments have distinct waves of activity: early arrivals, registration, warmups, competition windows, breaks, and closing moments. Coffee service works best when it follows that rhythm. Place it where athletes, families, staff, officials, and guests naturally gather instead of asking people to leave the event flow.

BUILD FOR THE CROWD
Attendance, service time, venue access, power, menu complexity, and guest movement all shape the right setup. Multiple coffee bars, streamlined menus, cold brew, matcha, and canned iced lattes can support larger crowds. Branding can help the experience belong to the tournament or sponsor while hospitality remains the point.
