    +Door staff is the first and last impression of your event. A bad door experience — slow lines, rude bouncers, guest list confusion — undoes every dollar you spent on marketing. We have run doors at 200-person warehouse parties and 837-person venue nights. Here is how to manage the one touchpoint that every attendee experiences.

    +## Hiring and rates
    +
    +Door staff rate: $20 per hour. For a 10.5-hour shift from 9:30pm to 8am, that is $210 per person. Two door staff for a standard event costs $400-420 total. This is one of the most predictable line items in the budget and should never be the place you try to save money.
