At the banquet, who supervises serving and clearing the plates?

The maitre d'hotel (better known in the US simply as the maitre d') would be the person, but to translate your question, I would emphasize the part about who supervises this.
The maitre d' oversees the process, which is carried out by the waiters. Sometimes, you can have waiters serving and busboys clearing.
Reference: I worked my way through college waiting on tables :)

maitre d' / headwaiter

Non sono sicura di capire la tua domanda. Se ti riferisci all'aiuto in generale, e catering staff/ catering personnel
