Use a bar position that supports the break without blocking entrances, registration or movement between sessions. The available space must accommodate the working bar and the delegates approaching it, not just the counter itself.
Plan for a short, concentrated break
Share the delegate count, break times and room plan. Confirm what the venue already supplies and whether the requirement is straightforward drinks service or selected cocktails needing a dedicated working setup.
Keep the bar ready before the session ends, with supplies and glass collection assigned. A short break can bring many orders together, so do not plan staffing from the average demand across the whole conference. Agree clearance before the next session and keep the same routes usable while guests are standing with drinks.
- Mark delegate circulation and the full working footprint.
- Plan capacity around the break's actual duration and attendance.
