door staff

Venue entry controllers

Door staff are the employees who control entry to a venue—checking IDs, enforcing dress codes, and turning away troublemakers.

The term is standard in British English for what Americans more often call bouncers, though door staff sounds more professional: The door staff refused entry to anyone without a ticket.

The singular is door staffer or member of door staff.
