DrinkDock for events and catering
Rent a machine for an indoor cash-bar reception, a launch or a ticketed event. It handles the canned beer and seltzer so your bar team can run wine and cocktails, and every alcohol sale is ID-checked.
Event rentals come after our first Philadelphia pilot, which is planned for 2027. Ask about a date now and we’ll tell you whether it’s in range.
How an event rental works
1. Pick a date and a machine
A DrinkDock One for most rooms, or a Compact for smaller ones. Quoted per machine per day.
2. Set the menu
You or your caterer choose the drinks and prices. We load an event menu screen, with your logo if you like.
3. We deliver and set up
Within 30 miles of Philadelphia, before your doors open. One of our team is on call by phone during the event.
4. Pickup and report
We collect the machine afterward and send a sales report by drink and by hour.
Who pays matters
Every guest pays at the machine, so it fits some events and not others.
Good fits
Indoor cash-bar receptions, launches and ticketed events where guests buy their own drinks. Indoor use only for now.
Not a fit yet
Hosted bars, where the host pays for everyone’s drinks. Drink tickets and host-paid allowances aren’t supported yet.
Always under a license
Alcohol is sold under the venue’s or a licensed caterer’s license. We confirm with them, and check the setup against that license, before we confirm the date.
Have a date in mind?
Tell us the date, the venue, the headcount and who’s paying for drinks. We’ll reply within two business days.
