Coverage and staffing

Hours of day, minimum team by shift, surge thresholds, and post positions at each gate.

Service indicators

Target delivery time under normal and peak conditions, sampling method, and exceptions for large events.

Reporting and escalation

Daily/weekly report cadence, incident channel, and the supervisor versus venue-management ownership split.

Tools and data

If digital tickets or reports are used, define who owns the data and keep tools as support—not a substitute for field capacity.

FAQ

Should technology appear in the SLA?

Yes when it supports monitoring, with wording that tools support—not replace—field teams.

What is the minimum KPI set?

Delivery time, vehicle volume, and operational incidents or complaints in the measurement window.
