For the 4th year in a row, Platinum Staffing took on one of Melbourne’s most highly anticipated events – The Melbourne Cup Carnival!

Just like every other year, the 2024 Melbourne Cup Carnival displayed an impressive array of horse-racing, entertainment, and most importantly (in our opinion), world-class hospitality and service. Each of the 4 days presented new and exciting opportunities for our dedicated team of hospitality professionals to showcase their skills and assist in ensuring that each guest in attendance was provided with outstanding service – the Platinum Staffing way!

Hospitality Excellence

Platinum Staffing played a pivotal role during MCC across various venues – from bustling retail bars to sophisticated corporate dining spaces. Our expert staff ensured every guest’s experience was seamless, contributing significantly to the carnival’s reputation for exceptional service.

In retail food and beverage outlets, Platinum’s team delivered quick, efficient service to the thousands of attendees eager to enjoy the carnival atmosphere. Their professionalism kept operations smooth, ensuring guests had a delightful experience while grabbing a bite or drink amid the excitement of the races. Similarly, in the corporate spaces other members of our team ensured all guest needs and expectations were met day after day, keeping their smiles on and their standards high.

Birdcage – the Crown Marquee Experience

Perhaps the most glamorous setting for Platinum Staffing was the renowned Crown Marquee in the Birdcage. Known for its exclusivity and luxurious ambiance, the marquee required nothing short of perfection – which our team delivered!

With the Platinum team exclusively covering the front of house operations, the vibes were high as the staff members provided bespoke food and beverage service to VIP guests, including celebrities, influencers, and racing enthusiasts. Their attention to detail, polished demeanour, and passion for service ensured the Crown Marquee maintained its prestigious reputation.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

The success of Platinum Staffing’s contribution to the Melbourne Cup Carnival highlighted our commitment to working as a team to provide the best customer service in the game. As the carnival drew to a close, it was clear that our team had left a lasting impression on the event. Their dedication to what they do not only improved the guest experience but also reinforced our standing as leaders in the hospitality staffing industry.

With another Melbourne Cup Carnival in the books, Platinum Staffing continues to prove that our people make the difference. Here’s to 2025!
