Pre-Event Preparation and Setup

Pre-event preparation refers to the stage prior to an event in which service professionals, and particularly the captain, prepare for the event.

   Review all of the details related to safety independently and (if necessary) with other captains and the client.

2. Review Documentation

3. Conduct a Sanitation Pre-Event Walkthrough
   Schedule the walkthrough with enough time before the event to address any issues. Conduct a walkthrough with documentation to determine sanitation station location and to clarify refuse separation and removal protocols. Take notes and update any necessary event documentation.

4. Review, Organize, and Verify Equipment and Inventory
   Review, organize, and verify equipment to ensure the presence, function, and condition of rented equipment and house equipment.

5. Conduct a Sanitation Staff Meeting
   Gather the sanitation staff (if applicable). Conduct a team meeting.

6. Administer Setup
   Administer the sanitation station(s) setup for different service types (coffee, conference or buffet, cocktail and/or passed hors d'oeuvres, plated or American, and hybrid).
