Event Staff is the only way to go for contracted workers
Incredible. Customer service was always willing to help. The app is quick and easy. It's an easy to use out of the box solution to many people who can't use a standard scheduling platform. Being able to use availability request is the number one reason we've been with them for 6 years.
PROSEvent Staff App is a great platform that enhances communication and availability between the company and its workers. Being able to use availability request is the number one reason we've been with them for 6 years.
CONSI don't have anything negative to say about Event Staff App.

Perfect Solution for our Events Company
Event Staff App allowed us to schedule our event teams more efficiently and made it easier for our teams to accept the jobs that we needed them at all over the country. The time that we have been able to save by using this software has allowed us to tackle the other issues that we face thereby improving our overall events!
PROSSoftware is very easy to use and the implementation was very smooth. The ability to communicate to the individual teams as well as our full roster came in handy many times. The software allows great visibility to both our schedulers as well as our staff. The customer service is amazing! I have never worked with a software provider that is so quick to respond and offer solutions that go above and beyond.
CONSIt would be nice to be able to send messages that originate from the sender vs the main Admin. All emails are sent with the reply to as the primary email address on file. Not a huge deal and we were able to find a workaround that worked for us. The site design isn't as clean as some of the other solutions that are out there but the benefit of the functionality far outweighs that issue. I would rather have something that works as it should then have something that looks pretty but doesn't perform. This Software Performs!
Reasons for switching to Event Staff App
Our old platform worked great until they transitioned to a new version that was riddled with bugs that made it impossible to use at the volume that we needed.

Great App!
I liked how easy it was to set up, the amazing customer service, and the ability to send out schedules.
CONSI heard from staff that there were a lot of texts and e-mails, especially reminders about shifts. I should have probably turned that off, but I didn't hear about it until Sunday night.
Reason for choosing Event Staff App
Pricing was the main factor. The customer service afterwards makes me believe I made the right choice and will pick Event Staff App in the future.

The best business tool you and business partner you would ever want!
As an Event Operations Manager, this tool is priceless to me and my team!!! It saves us so much time! Time that would normally be spent on staffing, scheduling and recruiting our on-call staff to work our events! Plus, our on-call staff also appreciates the ease of use on their end! The User Dashboard gives us an easy view of all upcoming scheduled Events. All operations and support team cam can look and see scheduled events and all confirmed staff for each event! With a few simple steps, we easily schedule an Event, schedule our Event Staff and we're done! Now we are free to move on to another task without having to make a phone call, email or sent a text! Unbelievably freeing!!! The best business tool and business partner you would ever want in your business! Saves us so much time and money!!! The best part, it's affordable to small business and sophisticated for a big business and everyone in between! Thank you Event Staff App! We are raving fans!!!
PROSAffordability, ease of use and the amazing amount of time it saves me and my team!!! The amount of time it saves us makes it a must have!
CONSCan't really think of any negatives. I would say in the beginning, like anything else, you and your team have to get used to a new system and you have to get your staff to "buy in" to using a new and technologically advanced system. However, after the first few events, it gets easier and easier. Before you realize, you have fully staffed and event or program and you have all the extra time!

Great product for customization!
Excellent customer service and responsiveness. We have used this product for several years and over time they have developed more features which has been great!
PROSThe ability to customize the event detail sheet to fit the needs of our business and the unique type of events that we do. It's a no-frills product but delivers in all the areas that we need.
CONSSome of the features are not super user-intuitive but once you get the hang of navigating in the app it works great. Fills our basic needs
Reasons for switching to Event Staff App
Wanted to be able to have staff put in their availability, assign shifts, and customize the event details page with all the information we need our team for know for an event

Don't wait try it now
I purchased a business in 2019 that had been using Event Staff App since 2013 and continued using the app for scheduling employees for events. Using Event Staff App allowed me to focus on other parts of the business. Not to mention I had information on events from 2013. I could run reports on which staff members worked which events, client, and venue information for marketing. One of the first questions from employees after I purchased the company is if we will keep using Event Staff App. I ask them what they thought about the app and they said it was great and easy to use. You done keep using something for 6 years if it is not a GREAT product!
PROSScheduling staff for events only takes a few clicks and everyone was notified. The history allows me to make sure I choose the best staff member for specific events. The notifications take the worry of checking and double checking to see if employees have opened the request.
CONSCannot think of any. Anytime I did not understand something support was quick to respond.

Love Event Staff App!
Event Staff App made the scheduling of 15 employees a breeze. I loved using this product for the four years I needed it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to schedule staff.
PROSI love this staffing tool....it is so easy to use and navigate between areas. It sends a clear concise message regarding the details of an event to my staff. Then it so so simple for them to reply yes or no. I also love the customer support...questions were answered quickly and they always followed up to ensure all was good.
CONSThere was nothing I didn't like...........

Great software for your business if you need to plan, manage, and execute events with staffing.
Ease of use, the ability to message specific staff, the ability to text the staff of their appointments & schedule, customer service and rapid implementing of items we needed
CONSReally small things, nothing major. The PDF printout of the map of the event always was a little too big so the staff schedule was on the back or 2nd sheet of paper. Clients are able to opt out of text messaging by removing their phone number from their account (might have missed a setting to turn this off though!).

Awesome App
This App makes my job more manageable. I love it!
PROSI really like that I can access all my events on all my devices. I love that I can see all shifts have been confirmed. I love that I can see all my events listed as I create them. I also love that I can see if my staff is receiving notifications and that I can send messages quickly if shifts need to be replaced. It’s keeping me organized and new staff are navigating their way easily.
CONSAt first we had some issues but I think they are mainly due to staff accidentally unsubscribing and then only App Admin can correct. But support staff are there to quickly offer support.
Reasons for switching to Event Staff App
A switch was made before my transfer to this department.

Amazing system that made my life so simple!
I like that I was able to edit the program to customize my needs for events, for example I could add my own titles based on the event requests. The system was very user-friendly and easy to navigate and keep me organized for events.
CONSI use gmail for a lot of things it would have been efficient if when I had an event scheduled it automatically scheduled to my calendar of events.

Best catering staffing software
We compared a variety of SaaS Apps and this one beat out when I work, deputy, and schedulehead. All those and more were focused on locations or regular jobs and were not set up to affordability manage a work forcw that might go from 3-30 staff on any given day. Still has some ui and other dev issues to resolve but Christophe is so responsive and was able to add a really helpful calendar view as well. No other scheduling software has the ability to request availability by skill set before assigning staff. Also, super great value

All the right things...
I've been using Event Staff App for 8 months now and it makes scheduling so easy... not only for myself but for staff as well. Any issue or question I've ever had concerning the software have been resolved or answered promptly. They even made changes to the app that we requested to make it work perfectly for us! My staff loves that requests are sent via text and email for ease of use, and that the dashboard is so convenient for them to keep track of their schedule... it even gives me reminders if there is a scheduling conflict so I can't make mistakes! Awesome! Fabulous customer service, super easy to use, auto-fill to save my time, continually making improvements before I even know I want them! Thanks for making my job easier Christophe! Keep up the great work!

As an administrator, Event Staff App helps to quickly organize a group of individuals to service an event. I like how Event Staff App allows you to view ratings for workers and rate workers, so I know the quality of worker I am getting for my events.

Event Staff App is a seamless software, providing ease for both management, and service employees!
Christophe with Event Staff App is wonderful to work with! He helped us to customize Event Staff App to more closely fit our company's needs for scheduling. The website makes scheduling our catering employees very simple, and has a great interface with Google Calendar and iCalendar, which helps our staff to keep track of their event assignments. The layout is very clear cut, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Event Staff App for straight forward scheduling for catering staff!

Great, flexible staff management program!
We used this program for managing our sailing staff this season and it made huge difference in our internal operations. Setting up the program and getting everyone on-board was super simple. My scheduling staff learned how to use the program with very few issues and my sailing staff found it easy to use as well. In the past we have had to call/send emails and it was always chaotic. This made it so much faster and easier.
