When to Book Waiting Staff

Waiting staff are often the difference between an event that technically runs and an event that feels calm to the guest. For seated meals, the team needs to understand pacing, table awareness, communication with the kitchen, and how to clear without disrupting the room.

For receptions, the focus changes to tray service, guest flow, and keeping drinks and canapés moving without crowding the space. VERGO uses the brief to understand the format before recommending the team size.

FAQs

Can VERGO supply runners and supervisors too?

Yes. For larger services, runners and supervisors can be included so waiting staff have clearer support during busy moments.

Can staff handle both food and drinks service?

Usually, yes. If the bar or drinks service is complex, a dedicated bar team may be better. Share the full service plan and VERGO will recommend the split.

Do you cover formal service?

Yes, where the brief calls for it. Include the service style and expectations so the right level of experience can be matched.
