THE CALENDAR

Assemble the perfect team for every event

Every event brings different demands. For venue staff scheduling, Liveforce helps you assemble the right mix of roles, skills and experience for each one, creating teams that fit the venue, the occasion and the experience being delivered.

  • See every upcoming event, shift and staffing requirement together on one calendar
  • Identify the right people by role, skills, experience and availability for each event
  • Reuse successful event setups and schedules, then adapt the team as requirements change
  • Scale staffing up or down to match the size, type and demands of each event

BY ZONE

The right people, in the right places

Every area of a venue plays a different role in the experience. Liveforce helps you organise teams around each space, matching the right people to the roles and responsibilities required throughout the venue, all part of clear venue staff management.

  • Build your staffing plan around entrances, hospitality, guest services, production areas and other key zones
  • Match people to each area based on their role, skills, experience and availability
  • See how every area is staffed before doors open, with the whole operation visible in one place
  • Adjust shifts and assignments as plans change, keeping teams up to date with the latest information

THE BIG DAY

From quiet days, to sell-out crowds

Staffing requirements can change dramatically from one event to the next. Venue staffing software helps you scale the team to match demand while still making sure the right people are selected for every role.

  • Scale from a small core team to hundreds of event staff as demand grows
  • Find available people with the right skills and experience when more coverage is needed
  • Fill gaps quickly when plans change or someone can no longer work their shift
  • Keep every booking, update and team member organised as the size of the operation grows

COMPLIANCE

Know your team is ready for the role

When you’re responsible for a venue team, or supplying people into one, you need confidence that everyone has the right information in place. Liveforce keeps essential documents and qualifications connected to each crew profile, ready when you’re building the team.

  • Keep right-to-work documents, qualifications and licences stored against each crew member
  • Identify people with the qualifications required for specific roles, from security to specialist event work
  • Keep important expiry dates visible, helping your team stay on top of documents that need renewing
  • Build each event team with the information you need already connected to the people you're scheduling

CHECK-IN AND PAY

From arrival to payroll ready

Once the team is in place, Liveforce helps you keep track of the day with venue staffing software. See who’s arrived, capture the hours worked and turn completed shifts into accurate, payroll-ready timesheets.

  • See when your team checks in and out, giving you visibility of who’s on site
  • Capture worked hours against the right people, shifts and events
  • Review and approve timesheets without chasing paper records across the venue
  • Turn approved hours into payroll-ready reports, ready for your pay process

Frequently asked questions

What is venue staffing software?

Venue staffing software plans who works each event, in which role and area, and records the hours they work. Liveforce shows every upcoming event, shift and staffing requirement on one calendar, from a quiet weekday to a sell-out show. Your small core team and casual staff are scheduled from the same pool.

How do you staff a venue that hosts gigs, conferences and private hires?

Liveforce lets you save a staffing setup for each event type, such as gigs, conferences or private hires. For the next booking, you reuse it and adjust the numbers. Staff are matched by role, skills and experience, so each event gets the right mix of people.

How do you know who has arrived before the doors open?

Staff check in from their phones on arrival, and Liveforce shows who is on site in each area. If someone hasn’t arrived for an entrance or bar shift, you see the gap early. You can then offer the shift to available staff before doors open.

How do you keep venue standards consistent with a changing casual team?

Liveforce keeps each person’s experience and past events on their profile. That makes it easy to rebook people who already know your venue. The brief attached to each shift covers dress code, entrances and house rules. New staff get the same information as regulars before they arrive.

Is Liveforce practical for a small venue with a handful of casual staff?

Liveforce suits a small venue if you’re confirming availability, sending rotas and collecting hours every week. Casual staff see their shifts in the Crew App and get updates by push or SMS. Rota changes reach the right people without a group chat. Those weekly tasks take about as long for 15 casuals as for 100.
