For leagues, tournaments & fundraisers
Sell drink tickets online, hand them over in seconds.
Buy a Beer takes the paper roll, the cash box and the line-up out of your event bar. Supporters buy tickets ahead of time, your volunteers print them on demand, and the bar scans a QR code to pour.
How it works
-
1
We set up your event
Your own branded storefront, your teams and players loaded in, your drink price pulled straight from your Square catalogue.
-
2
Supporters buy online
Share a link. Friends, family and sponsors buy a round for a team or an individual player from their phone, paid securely through Square.
-
3
Tickets get printed
Orders land on your volunteer dashboard. One tap prints a labelled ticket with a unique QR code, ready for pickup.

The bar scans and pours
A scan station validates each ticket once, records what was poured, and gives you a full report when the event wraps up.
What you get
Online sales, anywhere
Sell before and during the event. Shareable links let supporters buy for a specific team, player or volunteer without an account.
Square payments
Money goes to your Square account, not ours. Pricing comes from your Square catalogue, so what you charge is always what you show.
Printed QR tickets
Every single drink gets its own uniquely coded ticket, printed on a label printer with the recipient and the sender right on it.
One-scan redemption
A phone or tablet scan station validates each ticket exactly once — no double pours, no guessing, no reconciliation headaches.
Pickup boards & notifications
A big-screen pickup display for the venue, plus optional email to the purchaser when their order is ready.
Reporting you can trust
Sales totals, redemption history and a full audit trail of every status change, available the moment the event ends.
