Waiting and serving staff are for
hire upon request and are charged out according to
the length of time required. Predominately hired plate
waiting staff are drawn from or regular staff who are prepared to work unsocial hours.
For weddings that require hired serving
and waiting
staff, you would expect tables to be cleared
of china, cutlery and glasses during and after the event. Your wedding day or any other
event can be spoiled due to lack of staff. We therefore
advise potential clients that one waiting person is
required per 25/30 guests dependant upon the standard
that you, the
client, require.
Waiting staff hourly rates can range
from low season rates, to high season rates plus Bank Holidays and after midnight.
Volume jobs such as Corporate fun
days of 1,000 or more, require a lesser number of hired staff
to guest
ratio i.e. 1 - 60
For example Harrow Rugby Club
2004.... our brief was to feed 1,000 family guests in 2
hours. We provided 500kgs (half a ton) of food, cooked
1,000 burgers, 1,000 sausages, 250kgs/550lbs of hog roast and
served from 16 serving tables making up 6 serving
stations. We supplied 16 staff and 2 supervisors to cover this event. Most
of the plates,
cutlery etc. used were disposable.
If you are not employing premium
disposables you would normally double the staff to guest
ratio. assuming that the spent china,
cutlery and glasses could be deposited nearby.
