As of the 17th December, the COVID rules in Queensland are changing. So we thought we would put together a list of questions that we have been asked. To ease the pressure off our clients who are already so busy planning their events, we have also compiled a list of additional measures we are happy to implement for your events.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will the waitstaff attending my function be double vaccinated
Absolutely! It is a requirement by Queensland Health that for events that wish to have unlimited guests, everyone must be vaccinated. For people who are unvaccinated holding events, the number of guests that you are allowed to have is significantly impacted. To ensure that the control of event numbers stays with the person hosting the event, Connections Catering will always send vaccinated waitstaff.
Whose responsibility is it to enforce these rules at an event?
The Queensland Health website states that it is the responsibility of the venue owner to enforce COVID rules. Connections Catering is an independent catering business and not attached to a venue. For this reason, our staff will not be taking responsibility for enforcing COVID rules at events. We will always follow the restrictions and any additional requirements our clients wish for us to follow personally. If you or your guests have any questions about enforcing the COVID rules, our staff will always redirect them to the Venue Owner.
Ways we can make your events EXTRA safe
None of these measures are currently mandated in Queensland, however, Connections is in the hospitality business. Making our clients feel safe and comfortable to enjoy good food together is what we do best. So these are some extra measures our staff have come up with that can be implemented upon the request of our clients.
Our staff can wear masks when servicing your events
We can help remind guests to sign in
We can distribute masks to guests
Our team will be able to check vaccination certificates on guests arrival
We can set up extra sanitising stations for you and distribute to guests regularly throughout the event.
We can present food in individually packed COVID-safe containers to be distributed at your event
Making memorable moments over food is what we love doing. We feel very privileged to work with such amazing clients, catering for special moments in their lives. A COVID super spreader event is not the way we want our clients to remember these times.
Our team are always here to support in making your events special, so if you have any extra questions, always feel free to get in touch!
