These case studies document three TempGuru staffing programs using the records available for
each one. They show program scale, shift-slot structure, and operating decisions. They are not
universal staffing ratios, performance guarantees, or proof that another event will produce the
same result.
How to read this page
The useful part is the operating decision
Every figure stays attached to its reporting window, source boundary, and limitation. A shift
slot means one planned worker assignment on one shift. It does not automatically mean one unique
person or one person on site at the same time. Rounded program metrics remain rounded because the
underlying exports do not supply every denominator or formula.
For employment and compliance context, use the event staffing compliance hub.

Concerts In America
Reporting window: March 2026 through July 2026
A concert program spread across nearly as many markets as dates
A TempGuru aggregate operations report describes nearly 50 concert dates, more than 100 shifts, more than 40 markets and venues, and about 700 worked hours during the reporting window.

Operational lesson
A distributed program needs one consistent operating packet and a separate local brief for every date. Venue access, role boundaries, check-in fields, escalation paths, and closeout records should be standardized without treating an aggregate result as a universal staffing ratio.
What this record does not prove
The aggregate record does not establish attendance, venue capacity, peak staffing, simultaneous headcount, per-date variation, a universal role mix, or causality. Selected Georgetown, Plano, and Jacksonville assignment reports separately document TempGuru-supplied role quantities; they do not describe the concerts' complete workforces.
Reporting window: September 2025 through July 2026
A large concert program measured at the program level
TempGuru records for the reporting window show 2,176 staffed shows across more than 200 markets and nearly 250 venues, with more than 20,000 staff requests and more than 150,000 worked hours. Shows were not one-per-date; TempGuru staffed more than 100 shows on one Saturday.

Operational lesson
At this scale, returning-worker continuity can be treated as a planning signal, but every local roster still needs a current check against the venue, roles, shifts, and approved scope.
What this record does not prove
Most other program figures are rounded or expressed as minimums to reduce reidentification risk. The records do not identify the Saturday with more than 100 shows or establish that it was the busiest day. They describe staffing recorded through TempGuru, not the shows' full workforces, and do not establish simultaneous staffing, per-show roster size, role mix, attendance, capacity, or causality.

OC MENA Festival
Reporting window: June 17 through June 21, 2026 staffing window; live festival June 19 through June 21
The staffing plan changed between recruitment and live operations
OC MENA Festival ran at the OC Fair & Event Center. Megan Hayward confirmed more than 30,000 attendees and an assignment containing 300 staff slots plus 11 additional shift-lead slots, or 311 combined TempGuru shift slots.

Operational lesson
A recruitment posting is a dated staffing snapshot, not the final operating roster. Reconcile later coverage, supervision, language capability, role changes, and shift additions against the accepted assignment instead of treating attendance as a staffing formula.
What this record does not prove
A shift slot is one planned worker assignment on one shift. The 311 combined slots do not mean 311 unique workers, 311 people on site at once, or the festival's complete multi-vendor workforce. The supplied Friday-through-Sunday schedule itemizes 183 of the 311 combined slots; the remaining assignment slots are not allocated by that excerpt.
