Banqueting Staff

IHC provides a spectrum of multi-skilled and specialised banqueting staff: professional waiters, knowledgeable bartenders, skilled kitchen staff and chefs, efficient well-trained set-up & strike crew, as well as charismatic supervisors and managers. Each role is critical in ensuring a seamless and memorable banquet experience for both the venue and guests.

IHC banqueting staff boast a range of skills: waiters with in-depth and varied service abilities, bartenders with relevant beverage knowledge, kitchen staff understanding their roles, chefs with culinary finesse, and event supervisors and managers with top-notch charisma and organizational skills. These abilities ensure every banquet runs smoothly with expected enthusiasm and charm.

Venue specifics are key. Whether it’s an intimate space or a grand ballroom, our banqueting staff adapt their service style and set-up to match each venue’s variable expectations, ensuring that each venue and every guest feels catered to in a setting that enhances their expected experience.

Breakfast banquets call for brisk, efficient service; lunch requires a balance of speed and quality; dinner events demand more elaborate service all with attention to detail. Our banqueting staff are trained to adjust their approach to suit the time of day and banquet brief, ensuring both the venue and guest satisfaction, no matter the time of day or banquet brief.

Specialized menus and dietary needs are no obstacle. Our waitering staff are trained to handle all types of dietary requirements with care, ensuring every guest’s needs are met with respect and understanding.

From a casual breakfast buffet to a formal plated evening service, the format dictates the approach. IHC banqueting staff are trained to adapt to different service styles and guest seating arrangements, ensuring impeccable service delivery that complements the banquet event style, guest comfort and expectations.

Pre-event briefing dictates the success of each-and-every banquet event. Before each banquet event, IHC banqueting staff are subject to a comprehensive briefing covering the event timelines, menu details, dietary requirements, specific guest needs, and individual roles and responsibilities. This preparation is crucial for ensuring a well-coordinated and successful banquet service.

IHC banqueting staff undergo specific training for each contracted client, this is done through collaboration between IHC and each contracted client by designing a training manual that includes client specific operational requirements dictated by client input. Each contracted client training manual is signed off and approved by the contracted client before being implemented.
