A Local Wisconsin Event Staffing Partner
Hiring locally gives traveling producers and out-of-area organizations an established staffing resource on the ground. Zest in Class recruits, schedules and coordinates Wisconsin event personnel so your team does not have to source every temporary position individually.
Founded in 2017, Zest in Class has supported events of many sizes and formats throughout Southern Wisconsin and beyond. Our experience includes weddings and private celebrations, venue operations, ticketed events, large public gatherings and multi-shift staffing projects.
We understand that event plans evolve. Attendance changes, schedules move, entrances are adjusted and priorities shift. Our approach is responsive, practical and solution-oriented.
Supplemental Staffing for Existing Event Teams
Already have a production team, venue crew or group of returning staff? We can supplement your existing operation without attempting to replace the systems that already work.
Zest in Class can provide additional local personnel for specific positions, dates, entrances, beverage stations or shifts. We coordinate with your designated contacts, learn your procedures and place our team where additional coverage is needed.
Supplemental staffing can be particularly useful for:
- Peak attendance dates
- Expanded festival footprints
- Additional gates or service areas
- Longer operating hours
- Staff call-offs or vacancies
- Setup and teardown days
- Local staffing needs for traveling producers
- Events with multiple venues or work areas
On-Site Leads and Event Supervisors
For larger teams and events with multiple staffing areas, on-site leadership helps create accountability and faster communication.
Depending on the scope of your event, Zest in Class can assign leads or supervisors to:
- Check staff in and confirm assignments
- Communicate reporting locations and break schedules
- Monitor Zest in Class staffing areas
- Relay event updates to our personnel
- Coordinate approved position changes
- Document attendance and staffing adjustments
- Communicate with your designated event contact
- Help resolve routine staffing issues in real time
Our leads supervise Zest in Class personnel while working within the command structure established by your event management team.
