The summer season is (finally) just around the corner! It’s the perfect time of year for festivals and open-air events. For organisers, however, this also means: huge crowds, lots of temporary (inexperienced) staff or volunteers, and hundreds of visitors all wanting to order or pay at the same time. Catering at your event is no afterthought; it’s one of the most essential elements – and one of the biggest sources of frustration if things go wrong. Long queues, staff who don’t know the system… we probably don’t need to tell you. Fortunately, there are Unipage systems that allow you to avoid all those classic problems (and the associated headaches) with ease. Curious? Find out how in this blog!
Organisers who use Unipage to manage their sales outlets centrally notice the difference straight away:
Shorter queues (and therefore happier customers)
An average 25% increase in order value thanks to smart upsells
An average time saving of 3 minutes per customer at the ordering kiosk
Fewer errors in orders, less waste, more time saved
Temporary staff or volunteers can get started within minutes; making mistakes becomes (almost) impossible
Real-time overview of sales figures per stall or per location

With Unipage, you can manage all your outlets and menus online.
Whether you use our fixed POS system, order kiosks, QR codes, digital menu boards… You only need to update your menu or prices once, and the changes are immediately applied everywhere, even when you’re not in the shop.
a. Counter-mounted till system
Orders are recorded flawlessly, cashless payments are processed, and everything is tracked in real time. The system is so intuitive that even temporary staff can operate it independently and without error after just a brief briefing.
No internet connection for a moment? No problem – our till system will keep working.
b. Self-service ordering kiosks
Visitors place their orders and pay themselves, without the need for staff assistance. This significantly reduces queues. What’s more, the ordering kiosk automatically suggests upsells at just the right moment, such as snack recommendations or drink offers for a small additional charge.
Subtle, yet effective and easy to set up. You’ll also benefit from an average 25% increase in order value.
c. Ordering via QR code using a smartphone
Visitors scan a QR code, view the menu and place their order using their own phone. No app required.
Stick the codes onto your tables or parasols and your point of sale is ready, without needing extra staff to take orders.
d. Digital price lists on large screens
Install digital menu screens behind the counter or in strategic locations around the premises. Easily update your menu or prices from a single location.
Everything is then updated immediately on every screen. No more hassle from having to adjust each screen individually.
e. Quick to set up, even for temporary locations
Unipage is designed for flexible use. You don’t need any fancy infrastructure: a stable internet connection and a tablet or touchscreen will do.
In most cases, our system is up and running straight away after a quick setup.
For recurring events (such as a summer festival, an open-air market or a leisure park during the high season), Unipage is also easily scalable.
You start with what you need and expand as you grow. This allows you to add modules to one or more sales points to expand the capabilities of your sales channel.
For example, do you offer dishes that are quick to prepare? If so, why not automatically send your customers a text message when their order is ready!
Ready for a great summer? We certainly are!
Unipage helps you set up your points of sale with no hassle. Quick and centrally managed. No fuss, just value!

You don’t need to plan weeks in advance for a POS system for your festival or event. With the right software, all you need is a tablet or touchscreen and a stable internet connection. The system is up and running in no time – within 30 minutes. You can quickly add products and prices to the platform, and add a new location in just a few clicks. No need for fixed infrastructure or technical knowledge, making it ideal for those organising a one-off event or operating only during specific periods or just in the summer season.
Yes, and that is also one of the biggest advantages of an integrated POS system. From a single central platform, you can manage your POS terminals, order kiosks, QR zones and digital menu boards all at once. Changing a price or adding a product? That change is immediately applied across all active sales points. This means that, as an organiser, you always have an accurate and up-to-date overview, even if you’re running ten food stands or several bars simultaneously.
Temporary staff and volunteers can often be a challenge at events: they aren’t familiar with the system and you have little time to train them thoroughly. Thanks to the intuitive interface of our POS system , most staff can work completely independently after just 15 to 30 minutes. Order kiosks also handle a large proportion of the orders, which automatically reduces the pressure on less experienced staff and significantly reduces the risk of errors.
You don’t always have control over your internet connection. Our POS system is specifically designed to handle this: transactions are processed locally on the device itself, even without an active internet connection. As soon as the connection is restored, all data is automatically synchronised with the central platform. This happens fully automatically, without manual intervention and without any data loss. Your customers won’t notice a thing, your staff can carry on working as normal, and not a single order or payment gets lost in the shuffle.
More and more visitors prefer to pay cashless, especially at festivals and outdoor events. All terminals support contactless payments via bank card (Bancontact), mobile payment methods and traditional card transactions. Would you like to offer cash as well? That’s possible. A good mix of payment methods also reduces queuing time at the till: faster payments mean a smoother flow, allowing you to serve more visitors per hour without having to deploy extra staff.
Via our central dashboard, you can access detailed sales figures at any time. You can see by sales point, by time and by product how much was sold and what the turnover was. Ideal for subsequently evaluating which stand sold best, when it was busiest and how the margins per product compare with one another. These insights help you to plan the next event more effectively and deploy your staff more efficiently.
A mobile or temporary POS system is ideal for any event where several people want to order and pay at the same time: music festivals, open-air markets, sporting events, neighbourhood parties, leisure parks during the high season and food truck festivals. Unipage scales with the size of your event: you start with the modules you need and expand as your event grows. No fixed infrastructure is required. All you need is a tablet and an internet connection.
