Calculate Number of Waitstaff

Planning an event and wondering how many staff members you'll need? You're not alone. Determining the right number of waitstaff is crucial for ensuring your event runs smoothly, your guests are well-attended, and your timeline stays on track. Too few staff can lead to slow service and frustrated guests, while too many can be unnecessarily costly.
