Staffing an event without the group-chat chaos
The 40-message group chat is not a staffing system. Templates, skill matching, and SMS confirmations get a crew locked in hours — without you chasing anyone.
You book a 150-guest wedding and the next hour disappears into a group chat: "Who's free the 14th?" Three thumbs-up, one maybe, someone asks what the pay is, and two days later you're still one server short.
Staff from a template, not a thread
Every event type you run has a shape. Write it down once — a 150-guest plated dinner needs one lead, two chefs, six servers, one driver — and catering staff scheduling becomes filling slots, not composing messages.
Match on skill and availability, then confirm by SMS
- The roster knows who's a certified bartender and who can drive the van.
- Availability is already on file, so nobody gets pinged for a shift they can't take.
- Each staffer gets a personal SMS with date, venue, role, and pay — and a one-tap confirm.
Confirmations land in hours. The event page shows exactly who's locked and which slot is still open — and on the day, GPS clock-in tells you everyone actually arrived.
The group chat can go back to being for memes.
