Festival Leads - Beverage and Merchandise Sales

Apply for this Role

We are looking for 1-2 people to oversee the setup of our sales booths (beer, wine, merchandise), the deployment of volunteers, and the resupply of sales items.  We have crews who will set up the tents.  We have people procuring all the supplies (ice, beer, signs, etc).  We need you to oversee the "last mile" for delivering customer delight.

Responsibilities

• Morning of the Festival:  You distribute our Station Kits and oversee the setup of each tent (signage, supplies, etc.)
• During the Festival: Your chief role will be to make sure that there is a continual supply of volunteers, beer, wine and ice to our various stations.  You will also work with our cash management team to ensure that cash is managed and that credit card machines are working.  Once things are up and running, this is generally a matter of checking in with stations and remaining accessible via walkie-talkie.
• End of Day: Oversee the collection of reboxing of supplies from each station.
• After Festival: Provide feedback for next year.

Time Commitment

• 4 hours before the festival.
• Intense effort at start and end of festival day (9 am to noon; 6 pm - 8 pm).
