Organize helpers – without paper lists, spreadsheets and group chats.

Create your event, share a link or QR code – helpers sign themselves up. No app, no helper accounts.

  • First event free
  • Helpers need no account
  • Data hosted in the EU

Always know where help is still needed.

A sheet on the notice board, a spreadsheet making the rounds, three group chats at once: in the end two people run the cake stall while nobody minds the grill. With FestCrew you see the staffing of every shift in real time – and your helpers instantly see where they are needed most.

Three steps to a full roster

1

Create your event

Areas, shifts and contribution lists in a few steps – under 10 minutes with ready-made templates.

2

Share a link or QR code

Post the link in your club chat, put the QR code on the notice board or hand out the ready-made PDF flyer – reach your helpers where they already are.

3

Helpers sign themselves up

No account, no app: a name and email address is all it takes. Every helper gets a confirmation with a calendar entry and can change or cancel their sign-ups later.

Ready-made templates for your event

School fair, fire brigade festival, tournament or bazaar – start from a template with areas, shifts and lists and adapt it.

Everything your event needs

Shifts & areas

Organize your event into areas like grill, checkout or setup and create shifts with a fixed number of helpers – overbooking is impossible.

Contribution lists

Cakes, salads, gazebos: collect contributions through freely defined lists. If you like, helpers can offer their own items too.

QR code & PDF flyer

Every event comes with a link, a QR code and a ready-made PDF flyer – perfect for notice boards and parent letters.

Confirmation & calendar entry

After signing up, helpers automatically receive a confirmation email with a calendar entry and reminder – for Apple, Google and Outlook.

Waitlist & conflict checks

Optional backup slots catch sign-ups when a shift is full – and nobody ends up in two overlapping shifts by accident.

Insights & export

Staffing levels and gaps at a glance, plus Excel export and printable PDF shift plans – per area if you like.

Contact persons per area

Contact persons see the staffing of their area and add helpers directly – no account needed.

Templates & two languages

Next year's event starts as a copy of this year's. And the entire interface including emails is available in German and English.

Participant lists

Kids' carnival, day trip or course: let people sign up as participants instead of helpers – with your own details fields, selectable time slots and a participant limit.

Built for volunteers and parent communities

Clubs

Sports day, club anniversary, tournament: departments take over entire stands while contact persons keep an eye on their area.

Daycares & schools

Summer fair, bazaar, project day: a QR code in the parent letter is enough – parents sign up from their phone in two minutes.

Communities & fire brigades

Village fair, open day, holiday program: many helpers from different groups, coordinated through a single list – and for the holiday program, participants sign up right alongside.

Frequently asked questions

Do helpers need their own account?

No. Helpers open the link, pick their shifts and enter their name and email – done. Through a personal link they can view, change or cancel their sign-ups later on.

What does FestCrew really cost?

One mini event and one small or large event are free. After that you pay once per event ($1 mini, $6 small, $24 large) – no subscription, no recurring cost.

What happens to helpers' data?

Helper data is used only for your event, stored in the EU and deleted automatically afterwards. You get the data processing agreement as a PDF every time you publish.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. FestCrew is built for smartphones – helpers sign up right from their phone, no app install required. Organizing works entirely in the browser too.

Can I try FestCrew first?

Yes. One mini event and one small or large event are free, and you can put any event online as a trial for 48 hours.

Can several people organize together?

Yes. You can invite additional organizers by email. On top of that, contact persons per area can help out entirely without an account.

Can people sign up as participants instead of helpers?

Yes. With participant lists, people register for a kids' carnival, a trip or a course – no account needed, via their own link. You decide on details, dates and the number of participants.
