I would design the service around a clear rhythm that passengers can feel even if they do not hear it stated directly. The crew should know when the main beverage and meal passes happen, who is covering which section, and how the cabin stays visible between larger service waves.

The gap between passes is usually where frustration starts, so I would build in lighter touchpoints such as brief walkthroughs, quick follow-ups on earlier requests, and visible presence in the cabin even when a full service pass is not happening. That prevents the aircraft from feeling abandoned once the carts disappear.
