Staff expenses

If the scale of the event is such that the food and drinks cannot be left on the table, we will be charging for staff expenses. The staff charge is for the duration of the event, and we charge for full hours. The minimum charge is for 1 hour.

Staff charge in connection with catering service (VAT 14%)

  • Hourly service fee at 7 am–4 pm (charged per actualised hour) €35.00
  • Hourly service fee at 4 pm–12 am (charged per actualised hour) €40.00
  • Hourly service fee at 12 am– and on Sundays and public holidays €59.00

Staff charge (catering only or in connection with glassware rental)

  • Service fee (VAT 24%) €35.00
  • Service fee (VAT 24%) on Sundays, public holidays and at tight time €64.00

Things to consider:

  • Please reserve a large enough space for your event to make it safe for everyone – your guests as well as our staff. In bigger events, the food and drinks can be set up on multiple service points if the space is large enough.
  • We recommend individually wrapped products for hygiene reasons.
  • Terms of cancellation: free cancellation 3 days prior to the event.
  • We recommend ordering water bottles for your event rather than large dispensers.
  • In the current situation, we do not allow products to be taken out after the event.

In these exceptional times, the circumstances are constantly changing. We will be following the terms and conditions as set by the University of Helsinki for the use of facilities.
