craft services

Film set snacks

Craft services is the department on a film or television production responsible for providing snacks, beverages, and light refreshments to cast and crew throughout the workday.

The craft services table—often just called craft services or crafty—sits apart from catered meals, offering continuous access to coffee, fruit, and quick bites between takes.

I grabbed a bagel from craft services.
