- **Price:** from CHF 450 per weekend, quote based on the size of the event. The demo is free.
- **Devices:** the helpers’ own phones, in the browser on Android, iPhone and Windows. Nothing to install.
- **On site:** the Eventbox comes with its own Wi-Fi and a 4G router. Data is stored on the Eventbox at the festival.

- **Provider:** dxb gmbh, Bädlistrasse 89, 8583 Sulgen, Switzerland, phone +41 71 508 16 16, info@dxb.ch

## How it works: three steps

1. **Order at the table:** tap the table, tap the items, send. “Hot dog with mustard” is a single tap.
2. **The ticket prints at the counter:** the sausage prints in the kitchen, the beer at the bar, the coffee at the coffee stand. All by itself.
3. **Take payment:** the change is shown in big numbers. Cash, card or TWINT, split bills too. Rounded to 5 centimes.
   Usually guests pay as soon as they order. If you would rather let tables pay at the end, switch to “keep table open” in the admin.

## Made for volunteer helpers

- Their own phone, no app: scan the QR code, enter the PIN, go. In the browser on Android, iPhone and Windows.
- Big buttons, clear colours. Light or dark, just as the phone is set.
- Find the table fast: by area, by search, from favourites or on the floor plan.
- Two helpers, one table: the basket belongs to the table and is the same on every phone.
- Wrong tap? Cancel it. Lost a ticket? Reprint it.

## Keeps going when things get bumpy

- **No signal:** the order waits on the phone and goes out exactly once as soon as there is signal again. Nothing doubled, nothing lost.
- **Power cut:** with a UPS (backup battery), the Eventbox on site warns every phone, saves the data and shuts down cleanly.
- **Backup every 5 minutes:** backed up continuously, onto a USB stick too if you like.
- **Out of paper:** the phone tells you. The tickets wait and print as soon as the printer is ready again.
- **Own Wi-Fi:** the Eventbox comes with its own Wi-Fi and a 4G router. You don’t depend on the venue’s Wi-Fi.
- **Data stays on site:** everything is stored on the Eventbox at your festival. Transactions are never deleted; corrections show up as cancellations.

## For the organising committee and the treasurer

- **Dashboard for the committee:** sales, open tables and printers live.
- **Floor plan of your site:** festival tent, terrace and bar, just like the real thing; see at a glance which tables are open and where nobody has been for a while.
- **Closing at the push of a button:** daily and event closing reports as PDF, plus the complete journal.
- **Cash-up per helper:** the expected amount per person is ready and the counting aid does the maths. Float and cash drops are recorded properly.
- **Export for your accounts:** journal as CSV or PDF, summary entries for Bexio and Abacus (Swiss accounting software).
- **Next year in minutes:** reuse items, tables, floor plan and printers as a template.
- **Rehearse first:** in a practice event with virtual printers, the committee runs through the evening.
- **Kitchen display:** every open order, from “new” to “collected”.

More features: pay at once or keep the table open, pick-up display, stock and “sold out”, cup and bottle deposits,
vouchers with QR code, accounts for helpers and members with limits, meals for helpers, helper shift plan with sign-up
link, menu as PDF and on the web, live reports, up to 50 phones at once.

Note: the screenshots on the website show the app in German.

## Optional: guests order themselves

- QR code on the table: guests scan it with their own phone and see the menu, in four languages.
- Pay with TWINT or card. The order is only booked and printed once the payment is confirmed.
- Live status: guests see how far along their order is. With a pick-up display if you like.
- Switch it on per table and for set times.

dxEvent 2 is a mobile ordering and point-of-sale (POS) app for the food and drinks at club festivals, known in Switzerland as the “Festwirtschaft”. Volunteer helpers take orders on their own phones, the order tickets print automatically in the kitchen, at the bar and at the coffee stand, and guests pay in cash, by card or with TWINT, the Swiss mobile payment app. dxb gmbh in Sulgen, Switzerland, rebuilt dxEvent from scratch based on 6 years of experience and 90 festivals.

### How much does dxEvent 2 cost?
From CHF 450 per weekend. You get a quote based on the size of your event. The demo is free.

### What kind of events is dxEvent for?
For club and association festivals with food and drinks, from music festivals to Swiss wrestling festivals. So far that has been 90 festivals, for example the 26th Thurgau Cantonal Music Festival 2023 in Märstetten and the Thurgau Cantonal Swiss Wrestling Festivals 2022 in Müllheim and 2023 in Egnach.

### Do helpers need to install an app?
No. dxEvent runs in the browser. Each phone is paired once with a QR code, then the helper signs in with their PIN. Nothing is installed, and it works on the helper’s own phone.

### What if the internet goes down?
Ordering, printing and payment run through the Eventbox on site, with its own Wi-Fi. If a phone briefly loses its connection, it keeps the order and sends it exactly once as soon as the connection is back. Online payments by guests need the internet; that is what the 4G router in the Eventbox is for.

### Which phones work?
Android, iPhone and Windows, each in the browser. Helpers can use their own phone.

### How many phones at the same time?
dxEvent 2 is built for up to 50 phones at the same time. Tell us how many helpers you expect and we will plan it with you.

### How long does it take to get started?
For helpers, a few minutes: choose the table, tap the items, send, take payment. The organising committee sets up items, tables and printers beforehand and runs through the evening in a practice event with virtual printers. Next year you simply reuse the template.

### Where is our data stored?
On the Eventbox at your venue. It is backed up every 5 minutes, onto a USB stick too if you like. After the festival you have the closing report, the journal and exports for your accounts.

### Can we try dxEvent first?
