The first checkpoint
is the most important one.
Trained. Insured. W-2. The people standing between your venue and a 6am phone call about three no-shows.
Whoever's at the gate decides who gets in and how. That's not a bouncer job and it's not a greeter job. It's both, done quickly, in front of a line.
We staff stadiums, festivals, and ticketed venues with people trained on credential systems, scan flow, escalation, and how to say no without making it a scene.
They're employees, not contractors. We pay them, insure them, and stand behind them. That's the whole pitch.
Access control, not access theater.
Credential Verification
Wristbands, badges, mobile passes. Real check, not a wave-through.
id_cardTicket Scanning
Trained on the major scanner systems. Lines move.
qr_code_scannerAccess Control
Who's in, who isn't, who needs an escort.
lock_openCapacity Monitoring
Watching the count. Calling it when it matters.
groupsIncident Reporting
Logged, escalated, documented. For when the conversation comes later.
descriptionBoring, on purpose.
The fun part of staffing is the part you don't notice. Here's what every gate staff we deploy is already past.
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.
We're not the cheapest option.
We're also not the option that calls you at 6am because three people no-showed.

Megan Hayward
Founder & CEO, TempGuru
We built TempGuru because someone had to. Turns out that someone was us. The staffing industry needed a reality check — and gate staff are exactly where that conversation starts.
The honest answers.
How fast can TempGuru deliver gate staff? 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 gate staff 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 gate staff 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.
