3. Food Tasting and Menu Confirmation — For larger events, we schedule a time for you to experience select offerings before confirming your selections. This step confirms every dish is exactly right ahead of your event day.
4. Coordinating the Service Team — Once the menu is confirmed, we plan kitchen and bar staff according to your venue layout. All operational elements — covering equipment rental — are handled at this stage.
5. On-Site Arrival and Event Prep — Staff shows up ahead of schedule to set up kitchen stations and confirm the venue is fully prepared ahead of the event start.
6. Live Event Service and Guest Hospitality — Here is where our team shines — moving across your venue professionally, delivering dishes and beverages on time and with genuine hospitality.
7. Post-Event Breakdown and Cleanup — Once service concludes, we manages full teardown — breaking down stations and returning the venue clean and clear so there's nothing left for you to do.
