How many waiters should I hire?

Use the following guidelines to properly staff an event:

Buffet Dinner: Minimum one waiter per 25 guests, to effectively set up, serve and clear plates, glassware, etc.

 Cocktail Reception: Minimum one food waiter and one drink waiter per 20-25 guests. If you need to serve a lot of food and / or drinks in a short space of time, you should hire additional staff.

Sit-Down Meal: Minimum two waiters for a sit down meal of up to 10 guests and one more waiter for every 8 additional guests.

You should also consider having one kitchen staff per 30 guests to heat up and plate your food.

Bartenders: Minimum one bartender per 40 guests. With specialty drinks such as blender drinks or Martinis, there should be one bartender per 25 guests.
