Staffing Issues Costing You
Time, Money, and Reputation
No-Shows That Derail Events
Your agency confirms 20 chefs. 14 show up. On match day. Sound familiar?
Inconsistent Quality
Staff who don't know event-level standards. You end up managing them instead of your operation.
Juggling Multiple Agencies
5-6 suppliers just to fill your rota. Different contacts, different systems, different excuses.
Every no-show costs you more than money — it costs your reputation with the venue and the client.
What If You Had One Partner
You Could Actually Rely On?
Compass Group and Sodexo Live work with dozens of agencies — but they keep coming back to us. Why? Because we deliver when others don't. 95%+ fulfilment rate, every time.
