A revenue-generating foodservice concept that can open and operate in an under-used, nontraditional location in a hotel or resort. Lobbies, courtyards, hallways, concourses or any high-traffic space not specifically outfitted to foodservice are venue examples. These are locations where access to water is limited, and ventilation and gas connections are non-existent.
