Waiter needed for 40th birthday
$100
Thornbury VIC 3071, Australia
2nd Feb 2026
Looking for a waiter with basic food prep skills for my 40th birthday party. Located at a private home in Thornbury, required from 6.45pm to 9pm. Event starts at 7pm. All food will be pre-cooked — I just need someone to microwave, assemble and circulate serving guests. It’s a cocktail-style event, so you’ll be roaming with platters throughout the night. Food is simple and easy, mini cheeseburgers, skewers and pasta. It would be great if you could bring a serving tray to roam with. I’ll supply all disposable plates, bowls, cutlery etc. There will also be some light assistance required with collecting used glasses, loading the dishwasher and topping up guests’ drinks if needed. Looking for someone who is friendly, reliable, well-dressed and professional.
Ellie did an excellent job and took care of everything seamlessly. Thanks to her, I was able to fully enjoy my party without worrying about food or service. Highly recommend!
Birthday Event waiter/helper
$200
Fitzroy North VIC, Australia
21st Jan 2026
Hi there! I’m looking for a friendly, reliable waiter to help out at a relaxed birthday event so the host can actually enjoy the day. Sunday 8 Feb from 10am to 2pm This is a casual morning/early afternoon birthday with around 45 guests, arriving gradually rather than all at once. Most guests will be helping themselves, so this role is really about being an extra pair of hands. What you’ll be doing: • Topping up drinks • Providing clean glasses for new arrivals • Laying out pre-cooked food (no cooking required) • Light tidying / general help as needed Nothing formal or high-pressure — just helping the event flow smoothly. What I’m looking for: • Someone friendly, approachable, and proactive • Some experience in hospitality or event work • Comfortable in a relaxed, social environment • LGBTQIA+ friendly is an absolute must 🌈 • Happy to jump in and help where needed The vibe: Very casual, welcoming, and inclusive. This is not a stuffy waiter role — more “helpful legend who keeps things running.” If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you. Please tell me a bit about your experience and availability.
Vered was unbelievably helpful, truly helped my event run smoothly and I couldn’t recommend her higher. Truly, the best at what she does.

Be a private cook/waiter/dishwasher for a date night at home - 6pm-8pm
$120
Fitzroy VIC, Australia
5th Sep 2025
I want to surprise my fiancée with a cozy little date night in our new home. Your job will be to add a bit of magic to the evening by taking care of things: make us a cocktail, prepare dinner (either with your own recipes or I can just give you the ingredients and leave it up to you). Then most importantly, wash up and clean and tidy before you head off. 2 hours work in total. To apply, let me know your preference: 1) I can just provide the ingredients and tell you what to do, or 2) you could provide ingredients (which I’ll pay extra for) and you make your own recipes
Fabulous! Highly recommend Michelle. She was our private chef for date night and she blew us away. Lovely presence and fantastic food!
