How do you prevent staff fatigue when your venue hosts events every day and there’s barely time to reset the entire space? We run a mid-sized event hall, and some weeks it’s like a never-ending cycle — one party leaves, the next group is already waiting at the door. Chairs, tables, carpets, catering spills, everything needs resetting, and my team is exhausted. I’m looking for advice on keeping the space presentable without draining everyone to the limit. Does anyone rotate teams, extend turnaro ?

Hi! We run a community center and had the same “no break between events” issue for months. What helped us breathe again was bringing in a service that could jump in fast and handle the reset properly. Right around the midpoint of a hectic season we tried commercial cleaning north london and it changed our schedule completely. They covered carpets, spills, washrooms, all the mess we never had time for. My team finally stopped racing the clock, events started looking cleaner and more polished, and we didn’t feel like we were constantly behind.

I used to manage a student venue back in the day, and even then, with fewer clients and simpler setups, it was a real challenge. People underestimate how much physical work goes into restoring a space after an event. The worst was when we had a double booking and only one hour between events — the team looked ready to collapse. So now I'm extra curious how professionals manage this flow while keeping everyone sane.
