What they think of us
Testimonials and evaluations about us and our services are of great value to improve every day.
What is the difference between a runner and a waiter?
The catering runner facilitates service by transferring dishes, drinks or materials between the kitchen, bar and dining room. The waiters, on the other hand, are responsible for attending directly to the attendees (taking orders, serving, etc.).
What is the difference between a runner and an office?
In the hospitality industry, the runner is the room assistant who transports the dishes from the kitchen to the tables and vice versa. On the other hand, the office is the professional in charge of washing up and keeping clean all the crockery, glassware and cutlery. While one supports the waiter in front of the public, the other supports the kitchen team.
Can you coordinate with outside kitchen or contracted caterers?
Yes, they are easily integrated into the operation of any team and follow the instructions of the kitchen or service manager.
Are they trained in food hygiene or food handling?
To ensure the quality of the service, all Workout Events catering staff is trained in PRL and food handling license.
Do runners wear uniforms?
Yes, runners come to the service in discreet and appropriate attire to perform their duties.
