Can waiters take orders without an app?

Exactly. Bierblock runs entirely in the browser. No download, no registration for waiters.

What happens if a waiter taps the wrong item?

Orders can be changed before submitting. A cancelled order is marked as cancelled.

Can I create different drink categories?

Yes. You can create item groups — e.g. beer, wine, non-alcoholic, food.

Does order taking work on older phones?

Bierblock only needs a modern browser. Older smartphones (from 2017 onwards) generally work fine.

Can we number and name tables?

Yes. You set up tables with their own name or number — e.g. Table 1, Front bench, VIP table.

How long does setup take before the festival?

With a prepared item list, the event is configured in 15–30 minutes.

No app, no training

Digital Order Taking for Your Next Festival

Instead of pen and paper, the waiter takes orders directly on their phone — and all stations see them instantly. Bierblock makes digital order taking as simple as a mark on a notepad.

The Problem

The problem with analogue order taking

One note per table, one mark per drink — that is fast. Until the note is gone.

Illegible handwriting.

What one person writes quickly, another cannot read. Back-and-forth questions cost time.

Notes disappear.

Between table and bar, many a note vanishes in an apron or on the floor.

Duplicate orders or forgotten rounds.

Without a central system nobody knows whether table 7 has already received their second round.

The Solution

How digital order taking works with Bierblock

Three steps, no paper, no app.

1. Scan QR code

Waiters scan the Bierblock link once. Done — no login, no download.

2. Tap the order

Select drink, set quantity, assign table. Takes 5 seconds.

3. Bar responds instantly

The order appears at the bar in real time — no shouting, no note.
