What is a pancake live station?
A pancake live station is a freshly operated dessert station where a dedicated FunCo operator makes and serves warm fluffy pancakes on-site throughout your event — with maple syrup and Hershey's chocolate syrup for guests to choose from. Every pancake is made fresh on the griddle and served warm directly to guests.
What syrups are included?
Two syrups are included as standard: maple syrup and Hershey's chocolate syrup. Guests choose their preferred syrup at the point of serving — or combine both for the full indulgent experience.
Why Hershey's specifically?
Hershey's is one of the world's most recognised dessert brands — its chocolate syrup is immediately familiar to guests of all ages and backgrounds. Using Hershey's by name signals product quality and creates instant positive brand association at the serving station.
Is the pancake live station halal?
Halal-friendly ingredients are available on request. Let us know your dietary requirements at the point of booking and we'll confirm halal-certified pancake batter and syrup options for your event.
What allergens are present?
Pancakes contain gluten (wheat flour), eggs, and dairy (milk in the batter). Both syrups are dairy-free. We recommend labelling the station clearly and advising guests with gluten, egg, or dairy sensitivities accordingly.
Does the live station require power?
Yes — a single standard 13A power socket is required to power the commercial pancake griddle.
Can the station be set up outdoors?
The station can be set up in sheltered outdoor areas — under tents, marquees, or covered walkways. The griddle produces heat — ensure adequate ventilation at your venue. Open outdoor placement in direct rain is not recommended.
How is the pancake station different from the waffle station?
Pancakes are soft and fluffy — made from a poured batter on a flat griddle. Waffles are pressed in a mould — crispier on the outside with a distinctive grid texture. The pancake station offers maple syrup and Hershey's chocolate syrup; the waffle station offers five spread toppings including the uniquely Singaporean kaya. For comfort food and brand-recognised syrups, pancakes are the stronger choice. For local heritage topping variety, waffles are better.
How many guests can the station serve?
A commercial griddle can cook multiple pancakes simultaneously. Throughput depends on pancake size and serving speed. We advise on quantity planning at the point of booking based on your guest count and event duration.
Is the pancake station suitable for morning or breakfast activations?
Absolutely — pancakes are one of the most natural breakfast and brunch event foods. The pancake station works as effectively at a morning corporate activation as it does at an evening D&D, making it one of the most time-flexible live food stations in our catalogue.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 7 working days in advance. Peak seasons — year-end D&Ds, school carnivals, and National Day — fill up quickly. Two to three weeks earlier is safer.
How long can I rent the live station for?
We offer flexible rental durations — hourly packages and full-day event setups are both available. Contact us with your event timeline for a tailored quote.
Can I brand the live station with my company logo?
Station signage options are available as an add-on. Contact us at booking to discuss branding options for your event.

Yes. FunCo offers price matching across our event rental services. Share a quote from another Singapore vendor and we'll match it where possible.
