THE BOARD

Schedule faster, reuse what works

Building and managing your catering staff schedule doesn’t have to mean hours of admin. Liveforce is catering staff scheduling software that lets you build once, adapt as things change and save every setup for next time.

THE RIGHT TEAM

Match your crew to each event

Every catering event has its own demands. A corporate dinner needs different skills to a festival bar. Liveforce gives you the tools to build the right team for every job, not just fill the gaps.

  • Choose the right mix of roles for every job, from chefs and kitchen porters to waiting and bar staff.
  • Set staffing levels around guest numbers, service style and the demands of each event.
  • Keep every job organised with a team leader who can see and manage their crew.
  • Make sure every crew member knows exactly where they need to be.

  • Make expectations clear with dress codes, arrival instructions and running orders.
  • Attach important documents, from menus and floor plans to allergen information and job notes.
