● Deliverable 4: F&B model. Establish a collaborative model with a pool of local food partners, including the setup of the shipping-container point-of-sale and kitchen kit-out.

● Deliverable 5: Operations & Compliance Pack. Create a suite of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for kitchen use, including food safety vetting for food vendors , and on-site fire evacuation procedures.

● Deliverable 6: Financial Viability & Data Report. Produce a final report supported by performance data (footfall, revenue, community reach) and recommended business models for future sustainable seasons.

● Deliverable 7: On-site Execution. Lead the safe and compliant operation of all scheduled events, acting as the primary premises supervisor and fire warden during activation.
