FAQ

Being total event managers, Crave Catering can handle all aspects of your function from food, beverages (alcohol), all your staff requirements, any equipment including marquees to cutlery & crockery; glassware to cookware. Also entertainment like bands and DJ's, magicians & comedians or special effects such as fireworks & paper cannons can be organised especially for you.

Call us and we will advise on all aspects of your function. This is a FREE no obligation service. Our staff are trained in all areas and will know what questions to ask to assure all information is covered.

The following ratios are standard, however, individual functions have unique requirements and we would advise you with your request.

		Cocktail Party	Buffet	Sit Down
	Chef	1:50	1:30	1:20
	Corporate Waiter	1:50	1:30	1:20
	Bar Attendants	1:50	1:30	1:20

Chefs are required for any function where food needs preparation or cooking. Cold menus & drop offs do not need kitchen staff (depending on numbers & complexities). Again we will advise your individual circumstances with you.

Many factors influence the amount of fingerfood allocated per person. The time of the day, demographics and function style will alter the quantities. Allow more food over the meal times (ie breakfast, lunch and dinner). Allow more food where the ratio of men to women is higher. Factor in whether alcohol is being served (people will get hungry then).
