From door to cloakroom, every role, in one roster.

Most venues run 6–12 different roles every weekend. Openevent treats them all the same, one shift, one person, one record.

Door & welcome

Hosts, greeters, list checks, ID, fast-rotating, late-confirmed.

Bar & service

Bartenders, runners, sommeliers. Hourly or per-shift compensation.

Security

Door security and floor security, assignments and notes per shift.

Wardrobe & cloakroom

Often a single shift across the night with float and tip tracking.

DJ tech & sound

Set-up, sound check, line check, anchored to the event timeline.

Catering & kitchen

Brigade, runners, plating staff, briefed with notes per service.

VIP & host

Table hosts, bottle service, VIP entrance, tracked separately.

Clean-up & turnover

Late-night and morning shifts, closing checklists attached.

Multiple shifts per event. Per-person compensation.

Create as many shifts per event as you need, door, bar, wardrobe, waiters, security, VIP. Add staff individually. Track compensation per person and see at a glance whether they have been paid.

Each shift can carry its own documents, notes and hours, building a complete record of every shift and every person who worked it.

Especially useful for venues with a large pool of freelancers and rotating extras , the system holds the truth, not your head.

Your team manages their own shifts.

Each staff member opens the Crew App on their phone and sees exactly what they need, nothing more.

Confirmed shifts

Date, time, location and role for every shift, all in one place. Tap a shift to see the briefing, notes and pay status.

Open shifts, one-tap apply

You publish an opening. Staff apply with a single tap. You confirm. No phone calls, no group chats, especially useful for last-minute cover.

Swaps without chasing

A staff member who can't make a shift proposes a swap with a colleague in the app. The colleague accepts. The manager sees the change, no chasing required.

Staff

No more 'hobby operations'. Staff check their shifts, swap with colleagues, and keep an overview of their hours and pay.

POS

With the Openevent Crew app, every staff member can accept card payments directly from their iPhone (Android coming soon). Customise menus per outlet, assign staff, and track every penny.

The phone calls and group chats end here.

Most venues run staffing across three tools and a WhatsApp group. Openevent replaces all of them, and the chasing that comes with them.

The shift spreadsheet

One sheet, edited by four people, always one version behind.

The staff WhatsApp group

Last-minute cover requests, swap negotiations, missed messages.

The unpaid-hours surprise

Hours tracked at the shift level, nothing slips through.

The phone-call swap dance

Staff swap shifts directly in the Crew App. Manager just sees the outcome.

The 'who is on the floor tonight' question

Tonight's roster is one tap away, for managers and the team.

The post-event reconciliation

Hours, compensation, attendance, recorded as the shift runs, not after.

Common questions

  • Yes. Publish a shift as open and any qualified staff member can apply directly from the Crew App.
  • Yes. The swap is initiated by the staff member and confirmed by the colleague, visible to the manager.
  • Yes. Hours are tracked per shift and per person, so you can see who worked what and what they're owed, with no separate spreadsheet to reconcile.
  • Yes. Save a shift plan as a template per event or venue and apply it in one click, so a recurring club night or weekly event is staffed in seconds.
Coming soon Hours tracked become payments processed, automated payouts to your team, on the same platform.
