How many servers will be needed at my event and how much will it cost?
As a general rule, we provide one server for every twenty people with a buffet style service, and one server for every fifteen people for a served meal. However, the server ratio depends on how formal or complicated the event is and may be reduced or increased, depending on multiple factors. A lavish six-course, sit-down dinner may require one server per ten guests, or a very simple buffet many only require one server for thirty guests. Using your event details, we will recommend the minimum number of servers required based on our experience. Our goal is to make your event run smoothly.

RESTAURANT O® offers professionally trained team members for your event. We charge for our staff by the hour, based on a four hour minimum per staff person. We do our best to estimate the amount of time that our staff will be needed for your event. However, since many variables exist, the final cost is based on the actual time worked. Any full service event requires a Lead Server to oversee staff and ensure the coordination of a successful event.
