catering crew

Banquet service team

A catering crew is the team of workers who prepare, transport, and serve food for events, film sets, or other large gatherings.

The term emphasizes the collective operation rather than individual roles: The catering crew arrived at dawn to set up for the wedding reception.

On film and television productions, the catering crew feeds cast and crew throughout long shooting days.
