- Coordinating the Service Team — With the food program in place, we coordinate kitchen and bar staff based on your event format. Logistics details — covering linen and tableware — are locked in during this phase.

- Post-Event Breakdown and Cleanup — Once service concludes, the catering crew takes care of complete breakdown — clearing tables and returning the venue clean and clear so there's nothing left for you to do.
