How It Works
Three steps.
Zero friction.
From your pocket to a cold drink in your hand. No queue, no cash, no card terminal. Just your phone.
Step 01
Ticket + wallet in one checkout
Buy your ticket and pre-load your event wallet in a single Mollie payment. Enough to cover your expected rounds — you can always top up from inside the app.
One flow, not two
Ticket purchase and wallet top-up happen in the same Mollie checkout — you land at the venue ready to order.
Bancontact first
Belgium's favourite payment method, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards.
Top up anytime
Running low mid-night? Add more from anywhere in the venue — it hits the ledger within seconds of payment.
Event-scoped wallet
Your balance is tied to this event only — same as a physical money card. Unspent credit stays with the organizer after the event. PSD2 Limited Network Exemption, compliant by design.
Step 02
Order from your phone
Browse the menu for each bar station, pick your drinks, tap to confirm. Wallet debits instantly — no PINs, no swipes, no waiting on a terminal.
Full menu, per bar
Every item, every price, every availability state — live. Sold-out items grey out the moment the bartender flips the switch.
Rounds in one order
Add multiple drinks to a single order. Split the round later, or don't — up to you.
Real-time availability
Bartenders toggle items on/off from the tablet. You see the change immediately via WebSocket.
Idempotency built in
Network retry? Tapping twice? Each order gets an idempotency key so you never get double-charged.
Step 03
Pickup code or table QR
Classic mode: your phone shows a 2-digit pickup code — walk straight to the bar and grab your order. Table mode: scan the QR on your table and a runner brings it to you.
Skip the order queue
Pickup lane is separate from the order queue. Walk past everyone still trying to order and shout over the music.
2-digit pickup code
Auto-incrementing per bar station (01-99, resets). Short, readable, impossible to forget.
Table QR for sit-down venues
When the organizer enables table mode, orders route to the table you scanned. Move tables? Scan a different QR.
Everything in history
Every order, price, time, code, status — all in the app. Ready for any 'wait, did I pay for that?' moment.
