Start with the question you need to answer
Start with a city or event Quick Guide when you need a local rate and crew-planning answer. Use the role library to define duties, the planning tools to estimate or document the order, and the Risk Briefs when classification, insurance, wage-and-hour, or contracting questions could change the plan. The State of Event Staffing 2026 explains how to separate official market evidence, TempGuru operating records, and planning guidance. Use the end-to-end event staffing planning guide when you need to carry a scope from headcount through closeout, and review the event staffing case studies when a real operating example would make the decision clearer. Teams building an assisted research workflow can use the TempGuru AI agent hub to see the published interfaces, claim boundaries, and source paths available to AI systems. Staffing agencies evaluating an operating system should use the staffing software hub and its workflow comparisons.
Use the rate table on the relevant city guide as a planning range, then price every role against the venue, shift, duties, dates, credentials, headcount, and lead time. TempGuru does not publish one national rate because those inputs vary by market. The conference headcount calculator provides a baseline, while the written quote confirms the actual rate and scope.
A usable request names the duties, shift start and end, arrival process, attire, equipment, credentials, breaks, supervisor, and on-site escalation contact. Browse the canonical pages for registration staff, brand ambassadors, ushers, or setup and breakdown crew before adapting the scope to a city.
Compare how each system handles client orders, worker records, scheduling, confirmations, timekeeping, documents, payroll handoff, invoicing, permissions, reporting, and integrations. Product pages describe TempGuru workflows; the employer remains responsible for its workers and the laws that apply. Start with event staffing software, software pricing, and the staffing AI guide.
TempGuru’s guides are operational education, not legal advice. Verify current state rules with the U.S. Department of Labor’s state resources, consult the official state minimum-wage table, and use the IRS common-law employee guidance for federal classification context.
Event organizers can start with the event type library to match a crew plan to the format of their event. Staffing operators can review the Guru communication workflow, SMS staffing tools, the broader staffing software overview, and the staffing agency resource hub. The comparison library explains how TempGuru differs from common agency systems and gig marketplaces.
In the United States, the assigned local partner agency employs its crew. TempGuru owns the client contract and billing, selects and contracts with partner agencies, communicates orders, coordinates scheduling, and coordinates replacements. The minimum shift is four hours; there is no minimum headcount, order value, or spend. The 24–48 hour window is an availability response after scope and rates are approved, not a guaranteed completed roster. Urgent requests and replacement coverage are handled on a best-effort basis. Customer payment terms are Net 30, and a deposit is required when the estimated job exceeds $1,000.
