Delivery & Staff

Delivery & pick up charges for catering will apply as follows. We can deliver your catering in cake boxes or disposable platters to keep costs down. If your catering is delivered on porcelain platters a pick up charge will apply. These fees are calculated on the km's travelled and time of our driver. We aim to keep our delivery fees as fair as possible, merely covering our costs. Unfortunately we are not able to accept client pick ups from our kitchen at this time.

 

 

PLATTERS & EQUIPMENT

You will recieve a delivery docket with all supplied equipment listed. Platters etc must be counted, washed, stacked and be ready for collection at the arranged time, which will normally be the following day.

If you use a number of caterers, please ensure that you have all Sauce Catering equipment separated for pick up, as replacement costs will be charged for any lost or broken equipment. Return trips to collect missing platters and equipment will be charged for. Menu Stands are charged for at $10.00 + gst if unreturned.

We are happy to assist you with regards to hireage of tableware and equipment to complement your function and we have experienced preferred suppliers we rely on. For prices on hireage please contact us.

We have a lovely selection of tea party plates and cup stands available for hire along with many other items we are able to supply.

STAFF

We have professional, friendly staff ready to assist you with your function. We have worked hard on our menus to ensure they meet a range of requirements and function styles. Some of our menus do require onsite staff such as a chef, kitchen assistant etc. We will discuss required or suggested staffing with you when arranging your function.

Unless otherwise requested our staff are stylishly dressed in black and white with long black waiters aprons. For a themed event we would be delighted to arrange costumes for staff to complement your vision.

For smaller functions if you require just one person to manage the flow of service, heat and serve food, and assist with clean up please appreciate we can only send our best and most trusted staff to work unsupervised, as such this role has a premium hourly rate of $32.00.

For functions of 50 guests or over and all weddings a Function Coordinator may be required to manage the food and staff. This will ensure the host is free to enjoy and socialise without needing to delegate or coordinate.

Our competitive staffing rates are below. Please appreciate staff require a minimum shift of 4 hours and must be booked a minimum of 12 days in advance.
