Hangzhou Craft Services covers continuous refreshments, an approved station, replenishment and an explicit service window. For a Hangzhou studio-and-office schedule, decide whether the refreshment station remains in one base or needs a second approved arrangement at the next location. Ask the host where supplies can be stored and who receives replenishment. Keep the craft service window aligned with preparation as well as recording. A supplier arriving from another city needs an explicit handover point; do not assume the camera team will interrupt setup to receive the supplies.
Hangzhou Craft Services: define the refreshment service
List the expected crew size, hours on site, drink and snack preferences, and whether supplies must move with the unit. Ask which items, serving materials and staff are included. Avoid describing a few delivered boxes as a staffed all-day service unless that is what the supplier has agreed.
Choose a practical station
Agree the station with the location contact. It should be accessible during the working day without occupying a camera position, equipment route or area the host needs to keep clear. Confirm water access, storage, waste collection and the arrangement for consumables. A Hangzhou fixer can help coordinate the host interface.
Keep craft services distinct from main meals
State when the station opens and closes, whether staff remain, what happens during a location move and who clears the area. A main lunch order does not automatically cover refreshments before call or after the meal. The Hangzhou production brief should list both functions if both are required.
Refreshment station and replenishment
Provide in the brief: Service hours, number of people, approved station position, supplies and restocking responsibility.
Agree the handover: Station handover, replenishment contact, remaining supplies and the agreed arrangement at a second location.
Scope boundary: A refreshment station does not replace a scheduled crew meal. Ask whether moves, additional stations and late wrap support are included.
