Company Christmas and end-of-year functions
Include the event format, guest numbers, programme and service style. A standing reception, seated dinner and office celebration need different tasks and service coverage. Tell us whether catering, beverages and equipment are already arranged, and identify the staff responsibilities your venue does not provide.
Private celebrations and venue functions
For a home party or booked function space, outline kitchen and bar facilities, food presentation, drinks service and clearing. Include guest arrival times and the point service finishes. Explain who provides glassware, crockery, ice, catering and waste facilities.
Turn your plans into a staffing brief.
Start your staffing enquiry early
Begin with your preferred date, Melbourne or Sydney location, approximate guest count and the food and drinks plan. Send the details you have and identify what is still being finalised. We can prepare a staffing quote around the roles and shifts required; follow the booking instructions supplied to confirm your booking.
Include the full staff shift
Staff may need to arrive before the party for briefing and preparation and stay after guest-facing service for clearing. Give staff start and finish times separately from the party hours. List the tasks required before arrival, during service and after guests leave.
Provide a realistic hospitality brief
Tell us the expected attendance, food service, beverage menu and service stations. If you are unsure about staff numbers, describe the workload and busiest periods. Share any uniform requirements and the onsite contact who will brief and direct the team.
Keep several dates or locations separate
For multiple company functions or a venue programme, provide each date, suburb, role, headcount and shift. Add catering, equipment or entertainment enquiries as separate requirements. Review the quote and follow the booking instructions supplied; avoid assuming an enquiry alone confirms staffing.
