Houston is a city that never sleeps-especially when it comes to events. From festivals and corporate expos to weddings and private parties, every event needs one thing to run smoothly: reliable staff.

If you’ve ever scrambled last minute to find bartenders, servers, or event coordinators, this guide is for you.

Here’s how to do it smarter in 2025.


1. Know What Roles You Actually Need

Every event is different. Do you need greeters? Bartenders? Setup crews?

Read our Houston-specific bartending job guide to understand how these roles are evolving.


2. Use On-Demand Staffing Apps

Traditional staffing agencies often charge hefty fees and need long lead times.

Modern platforms like AnyShift for Business offer:

  • Pre-vetted workers for all event roles
  • Flexible booking (even same-day!)
  • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

Explore our event staffing features.


3. Prep Your Team With Clear Instructions

Want fewer no-shows and better performance? Communicate! Send clear instructions in advance.

AnyShift helps you send shift info, attire expectations, and venue details through the app.


4. Have a Backup Plan

Even with the best prep, things happen. Keep 1–2 extra workers on call via the platform.

You can rotate them into other shifts later, or use them for high-traffic hours.


5. Review Cost Breakdown Before You Book

Is temporary staffing expensive? Not if you do it right.
