The main jobs responsible for security and order at events, nightclubs or crowded places are usually called doormen and bouncers. Although both are involved in control and safety, their jobs are quite different from each other. We ensure that you get trained and responsible security staff based on what’s required, either a polite doorman or a watchful bouncer.
What Is a Doorman?
A doorman mainly greets guests, helps them get in and forms an initial impression for the guests. Generally found in hotels, fancy residential blocks and corporate offices, doormen make sure guests, tenants and visitors are comfortable while ensuring security. Their responsibilities are:
- Greet every guest with a polite greeting
- Looking at invitations or reservations
- Helping with your luggage or showing you where you need to go
- Checking all possible ways into the company to prevent uninvited access
Doormen serve guests and look after safety without them noticing. They get training in resolving disputes and are often deployed in Commercial Security Service roles for corporate and residential spaces.
What Is a Bouncer?
A bouncer is mainly concerned with making sure people follow the rules. At bars, nightclubs and concerts, bouncers are in charge of stopping fights, upholding the rules and making sure disturbances are prevented. Their main tasks are:
- Using IDs to stop minors from getting in
- Managing any intoxicated or aggressive people at the doors
- Taking action if there is a physical confrontation
Bouncers are essential for maintaining safety at high-energy venues, making them a critical part of any Event Security strategy.
Which One Do You Need?
Whether to have a doorman or a bouncer will depend on what your venue calls for. In luxury hotels and corporate buildings, having a doorman guarantees a nice start for all visitors. A bouncer is vital for nightclubs and wild events to keep everything under control.
