Catering Service Staff - How many service staff will I need?

What people are saying

I Googled ‘Carpet Cleaning Melbourne’ this morning & found the link to Quotify immediately. I entered the information and after submitting this I received a call ... within 5 - 10 minutes.

Thank you. I was very impressed with each of the three pest controllers calling me within minutes of my registering. I will definitely recommend this site.

I would like to let you know that I engaged a local removalist which I came to know through Quotify. Quotify displayed three local removalists and I employed one of them. The service was good (as requested) and both parties are happy about the completed contract.

Catering Service Staff - How many service staff will I need?



We've all been to parties or events where the evening was marred because of bad service or understaffing. You don't want your party, wedding or corporate event to be remembered as one of them! Getting staffing levels right is crucial. Here are some guidelines for getting it right:
  • Bartender - 1 bartender every 60 - 80 guests
  • Speciality drinks bartender (cocktails) - 1 bartender every 40 guests
  • Cocktail reception waiter - 1 waiter every 30- 40 guests
  • Buffet dinner waiter - 1 waiter every 25 guests
  • Sit down dinner waiter - 1 waiter every 12 guests (excellent service) or 20 guests (good service)
  • Event supervisor
When planning staffing budgets ensure that you allow enough time for set-up (1 - 2 hours) and tear down (1 hour).
