Door supervisors for venues & private functions
The welcome sets the tone. The brief sets the boundary.


Choose the person for the doorway
Door supervision can involve admissions, guest lists and coordination with venue staff. Tell us the setting, operating hours and who has authority to resolve an admission query.
A high-end reception, restaurant and busy private function need different presentation and experience. We discuss customer-facing skills and the appropriate licence for the duties.
Before the assignment
Explain how a supervisor should communicate with the manager, especially during a busy period. Knowing who makes the final decision can prevent avoidable friction.

What does a door supervisor need from the venue manager?
The admissions policy, expected attendance, house rules, operating hours and the escalation contact. These help the officer work as part of the venue’s arrangements.
Is a formal dress code enough for a premium door service?
Appearance is one part of it. Clear communication, judgement and experience with the setting should also be considered when selecting the operative.
