Check-in that doesn't
back up the lobby.
Trained. Insured. W-2. The people standing between your venue and a 6am phone call about three no-shows.
The check-in line is the first thing your attendees experience and the first thing they post about. When it works, nobody mentions it. When it doesn't, that's the review.
We staff conferences, conventions, and ticketed events with people who can run a badge printer at 8am, troubleshoot a stuck record, and keep a 400-deep line moving without anyone noticing how hard that is.
They're employees, not contractors. We pay them, insure them, and stand behind them. That's the whole pitch.
Five jobs that decide your morning.
Check-In & Verification
ID match, ticket scan, badge handoff. The 30-second handshake that sets the tone for the whole day.
how_to_regBadge & Credential Issuance
Printing, sleeving, lanyards, replacements. The supplies don't run out on our shift.
badgeAttendee Database Entry
Walk-up registrations, on-site corrections, list reconciliation. Trained on the major platforms.
databaseVIP & Speaker Handling
The list inside the list. Quietly pulled aside, quickly handled, never made to wait.
starWayfinding & Handoff
Pointing them to the right room, the right session, the right person. The badge isn't the end of the job.
near_meBoring, on purpose.
The fun part of staffing is the part you don't notice. Here's what every registration 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 registration staff are exactly where that conversation starts.
The honest answers.
How fast can TempGuru deliver registration 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 registration 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 registration 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.
