How customers receive the service
Confirm the event date, venue, reporting time, dress requirements, guest-flow plan and the organiser’s instructions before accepting the job. Arrive early for the briefing, guide guests politely, monitor the assigned area and report problems through the agreed event contact rather than making unapproved changes. After the event, confirm that your assigned duties are complete and record the actual time and transport cost.
Adapt it to your location
What to factor in before you set your price
Include transport, required supplies, setup or waiting time and any approved communication expense. Start with a small event or limited number of items and record the real time and materials used. Confirm the event or occasion, quantity of work, location, timing, materials and the organiser’s exact expectations before quoting. Before advertising event ushering, write down the expenses that one real customer order would create.
