Ask any event organizer about their worst guest complaints and restrooms are near the top of the list. The fix is rarely more toilets — it is keeping the ones you have clean, stocked, and pleasant all night. That takes attendants.
It is about peak, not average
Restroom demand spikes hard — between sets, at intermission, right after doors. Staff to the peak. A bank of restrooms that looks fine at 7pm can be overwhelmed by 9pm without an attendant keeping pace.
A practical starting point
- Assign at least one attendant per major restroom bank or trailer during peak hours;
- For high-traffic events, rotate attendants so cleaning never stops;
- Add coverage for VIP and ADA facilities, which guests expect to be spotless;
- Scale up for events serving alcohol — usage and mess both climb.
What a good attendant actually does
Restocking paper and soap, wiping surfaces, clearing the floor, flagging plumbing issues early, and simply being a visible presence that keeps the space orderly. It is preventative — the goal is that a guest never walks into a problem.
