Most hospitality service outlets do something similar to shake out the kinks and get everyone ready for regular service.

Restaurants will often open for a dinner service with family members of staff invited to eat for free....or some version like that...prior to a general "grand opening".

Don't want to kill grand opening buzz by finding out that key service components are missing or not working as planned.
