The brief is the booking.

Date, venue, call time and how many people are on it sit on one record. The shift somebody works is the shift the organiser asked for, not a version of it that survived being retyped.

The crew is on the record, not in your head.

Everyone you put on a shift carries their own working hours, so the names attached to a night are names who were actually free when you attached them.

Built around the shift

Built for the nights a venue hands you and the crew you send

Wedding crews

Hold wedding crews, the compact access and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Bartender shifts

Hold bartender shifts, the village-hall slot and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Corporate functions

Hold corporate functions, the office lift time and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Venue waitstaff

Hold venue waitstaff, the courtyard setup and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Festival teams

Hold festival teams, the wet-weather cover and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Private parties

Hold private parties, the evening turnaround and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Setup and pack-down

Hold setup and pack-down, the Sunday booking and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Multi-day events

Hold multi-day events, the venue close and staff shift on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Run the service day from one record.

Keep the event staffing booking, venue time and organiser notes close while the crew handles compact venue bookings.

  • Arrival is part of the job

    Hold access and arrival notes for the event staffing booking where short setup windows and dependable wet-weather cover can disrupt the plan.

  • The crew sees the same brief

    Put the staff shift, guest notes and venue access together before anyone starts prep for compact venue bookings.

  • Changes stay attached

    Update roles, headcount, shift length and venue access on the booking for compact venue bookings, rather than leaving the latest detail in a stray message.

Everyone on the night, on one board.

Names, call times and finishes laid across the evening, so the person starting at six and the person relieving them at ten are reading one version of it. Three functions running at once is a board rather than a phone call to each person.

Sell the time you can actually cover.

Availability reflects call times, roles, breaks and finish times for compact venue bookings, not an optimistic gap between two events.

Headcount is the price.

Two on the bar and four on the floor for six hours is not one number, it is lines you can see and change. When the organiser goes from four servers to six, the money and the roster move in the same edit instead of one of them quietly staying behind — and the document somebody approved says which headcount was agreed.
