Recent Wait Staff reviews in VIC

Andrea, thank you so much for the huge amount of work you did for us yesterday afternoon and evening. It was such a weight off my mind to only have to give you literally ten minutes of my time to acquaint you with my kitchen and the food requirements and you were off and running with such professionalism and warmth for the entire time. I loved your work and I must have had in excess of 30 guests complimenting you and asking where I found you. And my kitchen was tidier when you left than when you first arrived. Thank you so much. You are a treasure. Cheers Jan xx

What a super star. Kez helped us host a 50th anniversary party at home. She did an amazing job with helping and serving catering, restocking drinks, cleaning rubbish, whilst running up and down a very steep hill. Professional and thoughtful, and a good communicator.

Rank was fantastic, my catered food was a real challenge I wasn’t expecting and Ranj coped with it all really well. She was lovely to have in my home and I will definitely hire her whenever I need her skills again.

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.

Wait staff for Xmas party (food)

$150

Surrey Hills, Victoria

28th Nov 2025

Looking for 1 waiter to heat & serve food for a Xmas party from 2-5pm for a family gathering. Ideally suited to a uni student or school student who is well presented and comfortable handling food.

Jessica was absolutely excellent. She and her team made our family Christmas party such a pleasure. Normally my mum and I would be stuck in the kitchen preparing, heating and serving food, but this time we were actually able to relax and enjoy the day. They were professional, attentive and completely on top of everything. It was money incredibly well spent.
