Make it personal without making it generic
Map the flow around the host's menu, room, guest needs, and preferred style of service.
Presentation
Deliver the annotated floor photograph in a folded paper-table diagram tied with a narrow cranberry rule.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Uses the actual dining, kitchen, and serving route while the room is otherwise quiet.
- Skill
- The helper should observe movement, lifting, temperatures, and bottlenecks without taking over the event.
- Maintenance
- Keep one annotated photo and remove every temporary label or marker after the rehearsal.
- Accessibility
- Preserve clear wheelchair and walking routes, reachable choices, visible labels, seating access, and a no-line option.
- Sustainability
- Use existing furniture and serving pieces and borrow only an item proven necessary by the rehearsal.
- Timing
- Complete the walkthrough after the menu is stable but before final shopping and furniture setup.
