Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standard catering staff and ODC staff?
ODC (Outdoor Catering) staff are specifically trained for rapid food transport between separate production kitchens and dining lawns, handling live culinary counters, and managing heavy plate clearance in high-capacity venues.
Can Ziggers handle full-day multi-shift catering requirements?
Yes. For traditional South Indian weddings requiring Morning Muhurtham Breakfast, Afternoon Feast (Elai Saapadu), and Evening Reception Dinner, we deploy structured shift rotations to prevent staff fatigue.
How does food hygiene and waste clearance work?
All ODC staff follow strict food safety hygiene protocols (hairnets, hand sanitization, clean aprons). Dedicated clearance crews ensure used banana leaves, plates, and glasses are cleared immediately from dining tables.
