Your property brief
Hospitality Support
Variable guest numbers, overlapping events or unclear ownership of setup and clearing can create avoidable disruption. Establish the activity and the support required at each stage. An event plan that covers arrival but not room reset or waste leaves work unresolved after guests depart.
Discuss this service
What the service can include
The brief can include room readiness, refreshment coordination, service-area setup, guest support and clearing within the agreed role. It identifies interfaces with catering, reception, cleaning and facilities teams. Technical repairs, security decisions and food handling need their own defined responsibilities.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
What to consider
Support staff need a clear boundary between helping guests and making decisions for the host. Agree who approves changes, handles dietary questions and resolves service problems. The role should not depend on a person informally knowing every building or event arrangement.
A closer look at the property brief.
The work starts with the property.Before we visit
Provide the property location, rooms, guest activity and access details. Identify shared areas and the owner or operator approving the event. Agree furniture handling, protection of finishes and the responsibilities for cleaning and restoring the space.
How we help
We establish the support brief and sequence, then coordinate access and readiness with the host and connected teams. During the activity, changes follow the agreed approval route. Handover closes setup, service and reset tasks, with unresolved issues passed to the responsible contact.
What affects cost and timing
Duration, guest numbers, room changes, service tasks and working hours affect cost. Setup and clearing time must be included alongside the event itself. The proposal should distinguish staffing or support from food, equipment hire and additional cleaning.
Property and sector applications
Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.

Frequently asked questions
Is hospitality support the same as catering?
No. The role can coordinate catering, but food preparation and service responsibilities must be expressly included.
Can support cover back-to-back meetings?
The schedule needs realistic setup and reset periods, with room priorities and changes agreed in advance.
Who authorises extra tasks during an event?
Nominate the host or manager with authority to change the brief and approve additional work.
Does the service restore the room afterwards?
Include the required reset, furniture position and cleaning handback in the instruction.
Knowledge and guidance
Read kitchen-extraction cleaning guidance where the service uses an equipped kitchen, and keep those equipment responsibilities distinct from food and guest service. Official guidance provides the relevant context for this service. Browse the Knowledge Centre.
