Premium service.
Without the performance.
Trained. Insured. W-2. The people standing between your venue and a 6am phone call about three no-shows.
The VIP room is where your sponsors decide if they're coming back next year. Whoever's pouring the drink is the deciding factor.
We staff premium suites, sponsor lounges, and executive activations with people who know when to step forward and when to disappear.
They're employees, not contractors. We pay them, insure them, and stand behind them. That's the whole pitch.
Discreet. Attentive. Done.

Names you'll recognize, deals you won't hear about.
lockBoring, on purpose.
The fun part of staffing is the part you don't notice. Here's what every VIP hospitality 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 VIP hospitality staff are exactly where that conversation starts.
The honest answers.
How fast can TempGuru deliver VIP hospitality 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 VIP hospitality 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 VIP hospitality 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.
