Service & Event Staff:
Staff who make it look effortless.

Waiters, bartenders, chefs, and supervisors — individually interviewed, professionally trained, and available at rates built around your event's budget.

01
Our Staff

Reliable hospitality staff, for any size event.

Waiters

The core of every event — serving drinks and canapés, running the bar, and handling stand-up dinners or buffets with ease.

Bartenders

Friendly, efficient service on the basics, with mixologists available for anyone wanting a more elaborate cocktail menu.

Chefs

Sourced through Chefs Pantry, our culinary partners bring restaurant and hotel-level expertise to your private event.

Supervisors

Our most experienced staff, able to lead a team of up to 10, keeping even the most detailed events running smoothly.

Setup / Breakdown Staff

Get your venue guest-ready before the first arrival and cleared down afterwards, handling furniture, décor, and equipment so your team doesn't have to.

Cleaners

Discreet, thorough cleaning throughout and after your event, so the venue is left spotless and handed back exactly as you found it.

Questions

Before you reach out.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, but we can accommodate last-minute requests when possible.

Can we book staff without a full event planning package?

Yes — waiters, bartenders, chefs, and supervisors can be booked on their own for an event you're already planning yourself.

Are your staff vetted?

Every team member goes through an individual interview so we understand their skills and experience before they're booked to your event.

What areas around Cape Town do you cover?

The City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, Constantia, Stellenbosch, and Franschhoek. Further afield, get in touch and we'll confirm.

Is there a minimum number of staff we can book?

A 5-hour minimum booking applies per staff member, but there's no minimum on numbers — we staff events of every size and always aim to find an affordable option that works for you.
