Running effective post-event evaluations with temporary catering staff agency staff is crucial for ongoing improvement and service excellence
Schedule the review within 24 to 48 hours after the event while recollections are vivid and accurate
Bring together all personnel—managers, chefs, servers, runners, and back-of-house staff—for a focused, organized feedback session
Foster a non-judgmental space that encourages candid input, free from blame or retribution
Start with positive reinforcement by highlighting successes
Praise specific contributions—whether it was a server who managed an unexpected rush or a cook who prepped ahead of schedule
This builds morale and encourages participation
Then move into areas that could be improved
Avoid broad complaints—instead, point to precise incidents
For instance, instead of saying service was slow, note that the third station ran out of napkins during peak hours, causing a five minute delay
Ask open ended questions like what obstacles they faced, what resources were missing, and what could have been done differently
Valuing input across all levels yields deeper insights
Servers, bussers, and runners may identify hidden delays that management didn’t perceive
Assign a neutral observer to document responses, or deploy a collaborative online form accessible to all
Assess whether staffing matched demand, equipment functioned reliably, timing was on point, and communication channels stayed clear
Check if radios had clear reception, menus matched what was served, and prep schedules allowed for smooth transitions
Analyze discrepancies between forecast and execution
Look for patterns across multiple events to identify recurring issues
Client and venue perspectives often reveal blind spots in your own evaluation
They may notice things your team took for granted
Invite candid feedback by asking: What surprised you? What did you love? What would help you recommend us again?
This helps align your team’s performance with client expectations
Distill feedback into actionable priorities with responsible parties
Designate owners: Who ensures the ice machine gets repaired? Who revises the pre-event checklist?
Set deadlines and check in later to ensure changes are implemented
Finally, document everything in a simple report that can be referenced for future events
Balance brevity with enough context so newcomers understand what went wrong—and right—before
The aim is evolution, not instant mastery
When learning becomes routine, even new hires contribute to higher-quality events
