CGC is indeed in crisis of manpower especially at VCC from now until almost end of the month.
VCC banquet team consists of banquet manager and 7 staff, 8 in total.
We have functions 7 days a week and average 500 guests, and up to 1000 per day in the upcoming weeks, plus evening functions some days. They have to cover set up and services which is obviously too much for them to carry on.
I do not think we can stand up till mid of September such as today function, half day meeting with lunch 260 guests, one banquet manager and one server showed up.
We have 100 staff in total by now and support from other departments goes to VCC as much as possible.
We get casual staff from schools and colleges but quality and energy is not that level.
I am writing this email in order to ask for your kind consideration to support CGC by giving us one banquet staff at supervisor level to be with us till end of September. 2 additional skilled banquet staff mean a lot for us at the moment. We are pleased to pay extra for transportation and accommodation if needed. I know CGC might be far from their residence. I like them to come with understanding and willingness.
Sorry to bother you at the busy time but I have to try everything I can.
Your consideration is much appreciated.
Thank you so much and best regards
