Your venue contract has a clause about how the room comes back. We've all read it. Most cleanup crews haven't.

We staff festivals, stadiums, and conventions with crews who know what 'broom-clean' actually means and what the venue's going to inspect on the way out.

They're employees, not contractors. We pay them, insure them, and stand behind them. That's the whole pitch.

What cleanup crew actually does

Everything the venue checks.

01

Trash & Waste Removal

Bins, bags, sort streams, hauled to compactor.

02

Floor & Surface Cleaning

Swept, mopped, spot-treated. Carpets, concrete, turf.

03

Restroom Sanitation

Restocked, sanitized, signed off.

Coordinated with strike. Nothing left behind.

05

Final Inspection

Walked with venue ops. Punch list closed.

The standard

Boring, on purpose.

The fun part of staffing is the part you don't notice. Here's what every cleanup crew we deploy is already past.

check_circle

Identity verified

Screened through our W-2 agency partners. Real people, real records.

Role-specific training

Trained on the actual job before the truck unloads. Not a tutorial on the way over.

Named lead on site

Every deployment has a supervisor with a name. You don't manage the crew. They do.

Insured & classified correctly

W-2 payroll. Workers' comp. General liability. The forms nobody likes filling out are filled out.

One vendor.
Every city.
Zero surprises.

The model

We're not the cheapest option.

We're also not the option that calls you at 6am because three people no-showed.

  • verified_user

    W-2, every shift

    Employees, not contractors. Payroll taxes, withholding, classification — handled.

  • policy

    Insured for what you actually face

    General liability and workers' comp. The IRS audit, the slip-and-fall, the no-show — covered.

  • badge

    300+ markets, one contract

    National tour or one-night theater run. Same paperwork. Same standard. Same number to call.

We built TempGuru because someone had to. Turns out that someone was us. The staffing industry needed a reality check — and cleanup crew are exactly where that conversation starts.

Common questions

The honest answers.

How fast can TempGuru deliver cleanup crew? expand_more

24 to 48 hours in most markets. If we can't hit that window we tell you upfront, not the night before load-in.

What makes TempGuru different from a gig staffing app? expand_more

W-2 employment, workers' comp, named supervisors, and a contract with real accountability. Not 1099 contractors marketed as flexibility. The gig app didn't show up to the audit. Funny how that works.

Can TempGuru scale cleanup crew for multi-day events and tours? expand_more

Yes. 25 to 500+ per event across multiple venues, across 300+ markets, on a single contract.

Are TempGuru cleanup crew really W-2 employees? expand_more

Yes. Every shift. Payroll taxes withheld, workers' comp coverage, and proper classification — not 1099 misclassification dressed up as gig work.

Is insurance included? expand_more

General liability and workers' compensation are included on every deployment. Certificates of insurance are available before the event.

One vendor. Every city.
Zero surprises.

Tell us what you need. We'll tell you honestly what we can do. Then we'll do it.
