Here are tips on how you can use ShortStaf to make your next event easy and enjoyable.

1. Communicate With Your Staf

When posting your event, make sure you include the details.
This will prepare your Staf for what type of event they will be working. 

What do you want the Staf to wear? Do they need to bring anything with them? Is this a theme party? Fill your Staf in! It will enhance your experience and the event.

2. Fully Staf Your Event

Do you need someone to serve food? Cocktails? Oh, don’t forget putting up those decorations before hand! …And you need help taking them down too. That’s 3 different positions on ShortStaf! (or 6 extra hands).

3. Review Your Staf!        

Let your Staf 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 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 the Account tab. Here you will see the Intercom chat icon. Message us any time.

5. Don’t Pay Your Staf in Cash

As a Host, you’ve already paid your Staf member(s) through the app. The Staf members do not receive these funds until after the conclusion of the event. Feel free to tip the Staf 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 Staf have a complete profile?  

Choose a Staf member with a complete profile and a professional picture. Staf members have the ability to upload multiple photos! Now, you can really get to know them.

7. Finding The Right Match

From the Staf’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 Staf after accepting them to discuss details.
