Helpful Staffing Hints
Don't skimp on staff.
If your guests can't get a drink, never see the hors d'oeuvres, or wait forever to get served, chances are you don't have enough staff. Staffing properly will assure that all your guests’ needs are met.
Allow the staff sufficient set-up time.
There are many invisible last minute jobs that go into any successful event. The servers must set the tables, display the decorations, fold napkins, roll the silverware and add the finishing touches, among many other things. Not providing the service staff with adequate set-up time causes unnecessary angst for everyone involved.
The staff may have questions.
Common questions include: Should we answer your phone? Is your tableware dishwasher safe? Where should we put the garbage? Do you recycle? Where are the guest bathrooms? Where do we put the guest's coats? Do we serve the host or the guests first? By answering these questions before guests arrive, you will avoid being interrupted during the party.
