Here are tips on how you can use ShortStaf to make your next event easy and enjoyable.
1. Communicate With Your Staff
When posting your event, make sure you include all details.
This will prepare your Staff for what type of event they will be working
What do you want the Staff to wear? Do they need to bring anything with them? Is this a theme party? Fill your Staff in! It will enhance your experience and the event.
2. Fully Staff Your Event
Do you need someone to serve food? Cocktails? Oh, don’t forget to put up those decorations beforehand! …And you need help taking them down too. That’s 3 different positions on ShortStaf! (or 6 extra hands).
3. Review Your Staff!
Let your Staff know how they did! They rocked your event, made everything SO easy, and all with a smile.
Review them on the app so other hosts can have that same, awesome experience!
4. Have Questions? We Have Answers!
We want you to have the best ShortStaf experience. We make this possible by providing you with all the necessary information to make your event a success.
By visiting our FAQ page, you will find questions that Hosts (just like you) had! If you don’t find what you’re looking for there, feel free to contact us! Just open your ShortStaf app and go to "Account" > "Chat & FAQ" to connect with a team member!
5. Don’t Pay Your Staff in Cash
As a Host, you’ve already paid your Staff member(s) through the app. The Staff members do not receive these funds until after the conclusion of the event. Feel free to tip the Staff for doing an exceptional job- but we’ve taken care of the entire payment process for you! You can also add a gratuity directly through the app. View your event on the Home Dashboard, and click the event. Here you will find the "add tip" button.
6. Does your Staff have a complete profile?
Choose a Staff member with a complete profile and a professional picture. Staff members can upload multiple photos! Now, you can get to know them.
7. Finding The Right Match
From the Staff’s profile, you will be able to get a feel for who they are. With a complete profile, a professional picture, and a tagline that describes their personality, you will find the perfect match for your event! Feel free to message your Staff after accepting them to discuss details.
