5 TEAMS TO MAKE THE PROJECT WORKS
Several teams constitute the staff, and a supervisor will manage any organization. The teams must be flexible, and they should also consider other members’ replacements at the last minute.

VENDORS INTRODUCTION
A project this size requires several Vendors.
The most expensive is usually Catering Service, and in this case, includes a sit-down dinner.
CATERING SERVICE
In the market, the average cost can easily reach 150$ for each guest.
However, thanks to the long life experience of my partner Roberto Grazioli as the Italian embassy’s chef, he is not only excellent in his job but also a well-known character in the Washington DC jet set. We can decrease the cost of Catering dramatically.
RENTALS
These rentals are related for the structure’s functioning and are required to obtain permits by the institutions,to provide:
- Generator
- Current Water
- Portable restrooms
Other primary vendors will provide:
- Silverware
- Table and Chairs
- Kitchen equipment
- Audio/Video service with the support of the Technicians
MAPPING PROJECTION
When I received a few companies’ estimates to recreate this feature, I was shocked by the price.
Companies that provide augmented reality are costly. A mapping projection animation content costs up to 10,000$ for each minute.
However, our need is to recreate a set design through a panoramic projection, and it is less time-consuming to recreate.
Still, many hours have to be spent on meticulous research to create the most realistic environment through 3D software.
Delivering this suggestive feature is fundamental to understanding the basics, hiring a technician, providing it within our company, or ticket cost will increase dramatically.
Our goal is to become an independent production company as fast as possible without involving other vendors. This way we can cut the costs as much as possible and keep an affordable ticket.
Several rounds of investments to buy the above mentioned rental assets are required.
PERMITS INTRODUCTION
When appropriate for our concept, Mortar and brick location expect to provide the leading vendors making it impossible to cut any cost.
Finding the perfect open space location could be difficult in some areas, and sometimes strict policies make it more difficult.
Our goal is to operate like the Circus used to do in the past, including researching the area they used to set up their structure.
Permits are other essential duties to take care of, and when we deal with food, service, and alcohol, these issues become critical.
Although they are often pretty similar, any city and state have their own rules and policy about regulations.
To perform, at best, these critical duties, it is vital to adopt the most stringent rule for any area.
The Permits to be obtained are:
HEALTH DEPT. PERMIT – CATERING AND FOOD HANDLING
In some towns, food handling licenses require a combination of classroom certification and on-site inspection.
PERMISSION FOR SPECIFIC ZONING AND PARKING REGULATION
Fire commissioners often issue occupancy licenses or other building licenses that verify a location’s operational safety.
LICENSE TO SELL ALCOHOL
Requirements for a liquor license can vary wildly from town to town. In most cases, to obtain a permit, the owner must prove the lack of a criminal record and their adherence to ordinances.
CABARET LICENSE
Sometimes live music must frequently apply for an additional license, often called a cabaret license. Likely the presence of live musicians forces owners to adhere to standard rules about patron and performer safety.
MUSIC LICENSE
Whether live or pre-recorded music must obtain licenses from at least one of the nation’s three most prominent music clearinghouses BMI – ASCAP – SESAC.
VENDOR PERMIT TO BUY AND RESELL
It is generally required when items or services are sold within the event through an additional economic transaction.
