It often starts with a single process that makes the biggest difference in everyday operations. <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">One possible starting point: activate online concessions in your cinema and let guests collect them at the main counter to begin with. That makes it easy to get started, and later you can offer a separate collection counter. The effect becomes visible quickly. Guests who have pre-ordered arrive relaxed. The counter is relieved. Your team has more room for the guests who decide spontaneously.     <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The key is this: start small, stabilise one process and then expand.
