- Glass door upright fridges or double under counter fridges full to bursting with cold drinks
- Till drawers ready for transactions
- Cloak rails and coat hangers at the ready to keep jackets and wraps off the floor, because you know the importance of keeping hired finery pristine
In contrast to the basic details, there’s also the showstoppers. This is where you can really go to town.
