Required 30-Minute Briefing

Team members generally arrive 30 minutes before their main duties for an onsite briefing and handover. This briefing forms part of the total booked duration.

For example, if duties begin at 5:00 pm, the booked arrival time will generally be 4:30 pm.

The client or nominated event contact must be available to provide access and instructions when our team arrives.

Staffing Guide

As an initial guide, allow approximately one team member for every 15 guests. The appropriate staffing level will also depend on the number of duties, venue layout, access, setup complexity and time available.

We may recommend additional staff, additional time or a different service if the selected booking is unsuitable.

Client-Supplied Instructions

Please provide clear photographs, diagrams or written instructions.

All supplied items must be:

At the venue before our arrival
Complete, prepared and ready to use
Lightweight and safe for one person to handle
Clearly labelled and organised by setup area
Accompanied by the required fixtures and materials

Please disclose bulky, fragile or unusually shaped items before booking.

Breaks and Continuous Coverage

Applicable breaks form part of the booked shift. If uninterrupted support is essential, we may recommend booking at least two team members so breaks can be staggered.

Travel, Parking and Surcharges

Travel, tolls, parking and venue-access expenses are additional where applicable.

Sunday, NSW Public Holiday and after-hours surcharges are calculated through the booking options. Additional charges may also apply for difficult access, urgent bookings, restricted bump-in periods or work extending beyond the confirmed finishing time.

Before Booking

Use the booking questions to provide your event date, venue, required times, guest numbers, duties, access information, parking arrangements and setup instructions.

All staffing requests remain subject to availability and review. Placing an order does not guarantee staff availability until Piece Of Cake Events confirms the booking.
