- Track daily sales, conversion rates, and booth performance against real targets
- Coordinate logistics and manpower for event days — timing, transport, and setup flow
- Spot problems on the ground and fix them in real-time without waiting to be told
- Support consignment retail operations across partner stores when not on event duty
