Matchdays create opportunity and pressure. A simple checklist reduces mistakes. It also improves customer experience.
Before doors open
- Confirm fixtures, start times, and which screen shows which match.
- Set a clear “audio plan” for the room before customers arrive.
- Prep signage: what's on today, where it's showing, and how to listen.
- Check Wi-Fi access and confirm staff know the password process.
One hour before kickoff
- Run a full screen check: correct inputs, correct channels, no blank screens.
- Confirm seating plan for reservations and walk-ins.
- Brief staff on the two most common customer questions and answers.
- Set expectations early: “Commentary is available on phone if you prefer.”
During peak periods
- Keep the room consistent. Avoid changing sound every five minutes.
- Use a quick escalation rule: staff know who makes the final call.
- Track one simple metric: complaints per hour or walk-outs at half-time.
- Promote next events while customers are engaged and in the venue.
Half-time and after the match
- Run a quick sweep: what customers asked for, and what caused friction.
- Capture one photo for next week's promotion.
- Post one recap message with the next fixture and in-house events.
- Reset screens for the next event block.
