Home parties and private function spaces
Confirm where the bar will be placed, where stock and ice are stored and whether glassware can be washed onsite. Identify food service and glass collection separately. For a small kitchen or outdoor service area, explain preparation space, access and the facilities staff can use.
Venue receptions and branded occasions
For a booked venue, check which bar services and equipment are already included. Send the remaining duties you need covered. For a launch or client reception, brief service timings around presentations and supply any approved recipes, brand instructions or dress requirements.
Turn your plans into a staffing brief.
Brief the drinks and expected demand
Provide the cocktail list, alcohol-free drinks and standard bar menu. Include guest numbers, the expected arrival pattern and whether all guests are likely to order at once. Explain any ingredients prepared in advance and whether drinks are made to order or served through another agreed format.
Prepare the supplies and working area
Your brief should identify alcohol, mixers, garnishes, ice, tools, glasses, refrigeration and water access. Include stock replenishment and waste handling. Equipment hire or beverage supply should be requested separately from staff, with responsibility for delivery and setup clearly stated.
Include arrival, preparation and close-down
Give the Sydney venue, access point and onsite contact, plus staff start and finish times. Allow for a briefing, preparation and any clearing duties. If service pauses during presentations or changes rooms, describe the handover so the requested shifts follow the actual programme.
