What Bierblock is built for
No POS system. No enterprise theatre.
Bierblock is built for clubs and festivals, not for restaurants with permanent staff and complex cash register logic. The focus stays on orders, overview and simple operation.
For clubs, fire brigades, festival teams
The Bierblock.
Now digital.
Order like on the pad — but readable and instantly visible for everyone. No paper chaos, no POS system.

Bierblock replaces the order pad, not the cash register. Payment and billing happen just like before.
How one order runs
From the table to the grill and back.
An example from the sample event “Feuerwehrfest am Dorfplatz”: table 41 orders a Kasnudel with salad and a Berner Würstel with fries. Both dishes belong to the Grill station.
1. Take it at the table
Service picks table 41 on the floor plan, taps dishes and sides, and sends the order.
Table 41, “Order” tab: Kasnudel salad and Berner Würstel are selected; the total and “Send order” sit at the bottom. 2. It arrives at the grill monitor
The station monitor shows the same order as an open card with table, items and total. “Prepare” starts the kitchen, “Mark ready” finishes an item.
Grill station: order no. 1 for table 41 waits as an open item. 3. Serve at the table
Ready items appear at the table on the “Serve” tab. Here the Kasnudel is marked ready; the Würstel is still in progress and therefore not listed yet.
Table 41, “Serve” tab: the Kasnudel from order no. 1 marked ready.
Example captures from a local test environment with test data, not from a real event. The order was sent in the app for the captures; the kitchen status (“Mark ready”) was set by a test run; payment and pickup are tracked separately in the app (“Checkout” tab).

Anonymised real Bierblock event · summer 2026
From Excel planning to more time for people.
At a real event in summer 2026, the organiser had previously managed orders in Excel. According to the organiser, Bierblock left considerably more time to deal with issues on site and look after people at the event.
An event workflow from practice
- Before using Bierblock, the organiser managed orders and festival operations in Excel.
- At the event, Bierblock recorded 2,311 orders containing 5,832 sold units.
- The organiser reports having more time to handle practical issues on site and look after guests.
- With the data from the evaluation table on the reports page, settling up with servers and stations became much simpler.
- For the annual general meeting later in the year, the PDF export and the anonymised AI export were very helpful for delivering a complete report.

The organiser reports having considerably more time with Bierblock to resolve practical issues on site and look after guests. Time saved was not measured in minutes.
Real aggregated event data, analysed anonymously. The export labels sales as approximate. Time saved is the organiser's qualitative feedback, not a timed measurement. The club and people remain anonymous; sales are not a before-and-after comparison.
Start free test eventWhy Bierblock?
Because the notepad always loses in the end.
Paper is fast. That's exactly why it's popular. But once you add many volunteers, multiple tables and open orders, things can quickly turn chaotic.
Notes end up wherever they land.
On the table, at the bar, in an apron pocket or somewhere in between.
Not everyone can read your handwriting.
What one person scribbles quickly looks like a doctor's note to the next.
Shouting doesn't scale.
The fuller the festival, the more important a shared overview becomes for everyone.
The shared overview
Review transmitted items at the station.
When connected, assigned order items appear on the station monitor — open, in progress and ready. The team checks status and coordinates service.
Features
Plenty of tools for organisers. Easy for volunteers.
Bierblock does more than replace paper slips. The interface stays clear and quick for volunteers.
Review an order before submitting.
Choose products and quantities, and select a table where the workflow uses one. Configure helper access and rehearse a complete order before the event.
Test devices and connectivity.
Rehearse the workflow with the intended number of devices at the venue. Performance and transmission depend on setup and connection.
No “who has the order sheet?”
When connected, assigned stations see transmitted items and their status. The team still coordinates responsibilities and questions.
Open configured access in a browser.
No app download is required. The organiser configures helper access; test sign-in, role and device before the event.
How much time do paper order trips take?
Calculates how much helper time goes into walking between service and the bar. You can adjust the example assumptions to your event.
Enter number of helpers and event duration. Calculated with 4 order slip trips per hour and 2 minutes per complete trip there and back; both values can be adjusted.
Fewer order slip trips, one shared order status. In the free demo you can see how orders go from the phone directly to the responsible station.

When it gets busy,help is right there.
Instead of searching a manual, ask the AI assistant in the live event. It briefly explains what a status means or where to carry out the next step.
Floating chat button at the bottom right.
After signing in as an organiser, tap it and ask in your event. On very narrow phones, it spans the bottom edge.
For organisers. The assistant explains and guides. Completing orders and handling payments stays in the fast volunteer screens.

Mobile and desktop
Take orders on mobile. Stay in control on desktop.
Helpers take orders on their own phones in a browser. Organizers and the bar see the same up-to-date status on a larger screen.
Direct sales on phone and desktop
The order layout is deliberately calm, clear and consistent: it is easier on the eyes during long shifts, and the next product or button stays easy to spot even in the rush.
The floor plan on every screen
For larger festivals: place tables, the bar and kitchen where they really are, so helpers can find the right area quickly.

Common questions
What festival teams often ask.
Answered briefly — from tech to billing, what matters before you head out to the festival.
Does Bierblock work without an app?
Yes. Bierblock runs entirely in the browser. Volunteers open a link or scan a QR code — no installation, no app store, no updates. Ideal for rotating shifts and personal devices.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Bierblock bridges short outages automatically. Orders taken without a connection are stored in a local queue on the device and sent as soon as the network is back — when syncing, Bierblock prevents the same order from being transmitted twice. Only the shared live overview across all volunteers needs a connection: orders taken offline become visible to everyone once you're back online. For longer festivals we still recommend stable Wi-Fi or a hotspot.
Can volunteers use their own phones?
Yes, by design. Each volunteer connects via the browser on their own smartphone — secured with a volunteer PIN. You don't need to buy any dedicated devices.
Is Bierblock a cash register?
No. Bierblock replaces the order pad, not the cash register. It takes orders and creates an overview. Payment and billing happen just like before, through your usual register.
Can several serving stations work at the same time?
Yes. Any number of waiters and serving stations work in parallel at the same stand. Everyone sees the same live overview without blocking each other.
Can I test Bierblock before the festival?
Yes — and unlike the usual trial with an expiry date, Bierblock has no time limit: you can test for as long as you like. The demo is free and needs no payment details — create a test event, add drinks and run through the entire workflow. Without a subscription you can place up to 20 test orders per event; for the real festival with unlimited orders you book a package.
