Networking and client hospitality
For a reception, plan the arrival rush, bar opening time, canapé rounds and any presentations. Brief staff on the purpose of the function, the presentation standard and the person who can answer guest questions. Identify VIP arrivals and dietary arrangements through your own event briefing process.
Company dinners and awards evenings
For seated dining, provide the table plan, catering schedule and programme. Speeches, awards and food service need coordinated timing. Explain whether the caterer supplies service staff and which additional roles you need, including drinks, table clearing and the final room reset.
Turn your plans into a staffing brief.
Melbourne building access and arrival
Include the suburb and venue, reception or loading entrance, floor and room. For office buildings, confirm visitor registration, security access and lift arrangements. Staff shifts should include the briefing and setup window, rather than starting at the moment guests arrive.
Write a brief that separates responsibilities
List the duties your venue and caterer already cover. Specify remaining bar, food service, arrival and crew tasks, with headcounts if known. Include uniform or presentation requirements and the onsite supervisor. Keep specialist production work separate from general event support.
Plan one event or a series of functions
For recurring client events or several company dates, give each shift its own date, location and requirements. A breakfast, networking reception and formal dinner can involve different workloads. Outline the programme before selecting numbers so the staffing quote reflects the actual service.
