Marquee catering setup — A1
Turnkey marquee catering for weddings, corporate events and large-scale outdoor functions across New Zealand. Our A1 setup focuses on efficient workflow, compliance with NZ H&S expectations, and adaptable service zones to suit guest numbers from 80–800.
Kitchen layout & guest flow
Our layout separates cold prep, hot cook, plating and service lanes to maintain food safety and minimise cross-traffic. We plan entry, queueing and service points for marquee entrances and bar locations.
- Designated dirty/wash zones to protect food areas
- Clear service corridors to reduce guest disruption
- Temporary power and water plans aligned with local requirements
