Everything about organising festivals.
Guides for fire brigade and club festivals, checklists that actually help, and honest comparisons — so you know whether Bierblock is right for your festival.
Organising & Planning
Organising Fire Brigade Festivals
Organising a fire brigade festival takes months of preparation. So that everything runs smoothly on the day, bar, kitchen and waiters must be well coordinated — ideally digitally.
Organising Club Festivals — Step by Step
Organising a club festival means: table reservations, volunteer lists, drink planning, accounting. Bierblock takes at least the bar stress off your plate.
Fire Brigade Festival Checklist
A fire brigade festival requires permits, volunteers, food and a well-organised bar operation. This checklist helps you forget nothing — including the digital side.
Club Festival Checklist
A club festival requires permits, volunteers, food and a functioning bar. This checklist helps you forget nothing.
Solving Problems
End the Paper Chaos at Club Festivals
Paper chaos at club festivals is not inevitable. It is a solved problem — with a phone and Bierblock. No more illegible notes, no more lost orders.
Fewer Bar Mistakes at Club Festivals
Bar mistakes cost time, money and trust. Most stem from unclear or illegible orders. Bierblock makes every order clear and traceable — for bar and waiters.
Comparisons
Bierblock vs. Paper Notepad
The paper notepad is familiar, cheap and ready to use immediately. Bierblock is digital, set up quickly and gives all volunteers the same overview. Who wins at the club festival?
Bierblock vs. Excel
Many clubs try to coordinate festivals with Excel — volunteer lists, menus, reports. But for live order taking during the festival, Excel is the wrong tool.
Bierblock vs. WhatsApp
Many volunteer teams use WhatsApp for festival coordination. It works for planning — but during the event, a chat is not an ordering system.
Bierblock vs. Radio/Walkie-Talkie
Radio is reliable and works without internet. But for order taking at festivals with many tables, it quickly reaches its limits.
Background & Context
Festival Software Austria
Austrian festivals have their own traditions — Feuerwehrfest, Heuriger, Zeltfest. Bierblock is built for exactly these event types: simple, affordable, without training.
Software for Club Events
Club events do not need complex software. They need a system that volunteers can use immediately, without IT knowledge. That is Bierblock.
Digitalisation in Clubs
Digitalisation in clubs does not start with a CRM or an app. It starts with one concrete problem — and a simple solution. Bierblock is the first digital tool for clubs without IT budget.
