Positions Filled, Thank You Everyone

Hi!  I'm hosting a Potsgiving Dinner party on Saturday November 26th at 5 PM EST and I'm looking to hire 3 more people to help me out.

Since it's a Potluck dinner the majority of the food will be provided by the guests.  Your job will be to help out those guests (show them to the right rooms), watch over the food and drinks (make sure no one hogs it all to themselves), and top off anything that's getting low.  The naturally spawning buffets are free to everyone, so no need to worry about that.

On the day of the party I will need you to meet me in front of my house at least 15 minutes early and in this uniform:

Pawprint Apron
Any White Shirt
Cliff Trousers in Majestic Plain
Any Shoes

Once in Mazza'la Gala each of you will be stationed at one of these rooms:

Drinks - Tended by Vermilion
Butterfly Milk - Must be harvested

Please specify which station you would like to be in charge of!  Also, the items on the menu may change as people sign up, so make sure to double check this post before the party.

The pay is 7500c each, to be paid in complete at the end of the party.  If you have any additional questions feel free to post them here or contact me in game.

  • Knowing the number of dishes we would be expected to make, and the party size would actually be useful information from the perspective of deciding whether or not 7500c is actually a worthwhile wage.

    Right now? Looking like a loss leader.

  • This sounds like fun but I'm a little confused. You want your caterer/servers to bring the ingredients you listed above? Given the cost of the ingredients plus the cost of food for the caterers to replenish their energy as they cook and make butter and so on, the pay seems very low. But perhaps I am misunderstanding and you are providing the ingredients? Or your guests are?

  • My guests and I will be bringing the food, you would only be responsible for topping off anything that's getting low.  Although from what I've seen people are pretty polite at parties and don't go around taking full stacks of things.  As far as how many people will be there, my best guess would be between 20 and 60 (the max allowed in a party space).  In regards to the ingredients, I just listed those so you would have an idea of what to bring along with you.  I hope this answers your questions!

  • By "topping off" do you mean that the caterers would need to use their own ingredients and come prepared to make those foods, or that you expect that the host and guest would provide all of the ingredients and that the caterer would only really need to use energy to make those foods?

    How long will the party last?

  • The caterers would have to provide their own ingredients (and food to restore energy) or come with food/drinks already prepared.  Once at the party I would advise waiting for the food and drinks to drop below 5 before making a new batch or adding more.

    The party will last between 1 hour and 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on how long it takes to set up the space and run a game later on.

  • If you would like to attend, please join my group the Party of the Month Club and then sign up for a dish to bring.

    Paxton, if you don't mind I'd like to put you on Dessert duty.

  • lisavictoria, I've listed you as an alternate/floating server.  In the event that someone is not able to come or stay for the whole party, you will take over their station.  If everyone shows up, I'd like you to move from room to room and provide any help they might need.  This may include making food and drinks, running out to a vendor for ingredients, or boosting the other servers' energy and mood.  If you are still low on currants, I can pay part of your wages before the party.
