Bar & coffee concepts on Vulcanus Festivals – powered by SmoothieBarmen

On Vulcanus Festivals, open fire is only one half of the experience. The other half is the bar and coffee programme – and this is where the SmoothieBarmen hospitality agency steps in, with its concepts ranging from cocktails and spritzes to HealthyBar mocktails, specialty coffee and automated dispensing solutions.

Together with Vulcanus grills and local distributors, SmoothieBarmen builds complete F&B concepts that can be replicated in hotels, beach bars, resorts and events across different regions.

1. Cocktail & spritz bar designed for high-volume service

During events and peak season, speed and consistency are critical. The SmoothieBarmen bar setups on Vulcanus Festivals use:

  • standardised recipes with clear measures and cost per drink,
  • pre-batch and automated dispensing (CloudMix, Tower, FlowSmart and similar systems) wherever it makes operational sense,
  • product lines that ensure repeatable flavour and minimal waste.

This allows the bar to keep up with high guest numbers while maintaining quality – perfectly in sync with the pace of the Vulcanus grill line.

2. HealthyBar & functional drinks

The HealthyBar concept brings drinks that look like cocktails but are built from clean fruit and botanical bases – ideal for wellness, spa and daytime guests:

  • 100% fruit bases and functional shots,
  • vitamin and immunity mocktails,
  • low-sugar and zero-sugar options for health-conscious guests.

This way, the bar can generate revenue throughout the day – not only in the evening – while communicating a clear message of quality and care for wellbeing.

3. Future of Brewing – coffee as part of the experience

On Vulcanus Festivals and related events, coffee is not “just another espresso”. Through the Future of Brewing approach, coffee becomes part of the overall F&B identity:

  • introduction of filter, cold brew and nitro options (depending on the concept),
  • automated milk solutions that free up staff and speed up service,
  • coffee paired with desserts, after-dinner moments and daytime consumption.

For hotels, lounge bars and premium offices, this is a way to position coffee as an experience, not a minimum standard.

4. Automation & control – from HealthyTower to CloudMix and FlowSmart

With its Tower, CloudMix, FlowSmart and other dispensing systems, SmoothieBarmen helps Vulcanus partners make their bar and coffee operations:

  • faster – less waiting time and higher throughput per hour,
  • more consistent – every cocktail, spritz or coffee follows the same recipe,
  • more controlled – clear cost per drink, lower waste and better insight into consumption.

On Vulcanus B2B Festivals these solutions are shown in real-life conditions: open fire food, real guests, real volumes – a unique opportunity to see how automation and data work together with the grill and the bar.

5. What hotels, bars, restaurants and suppliers can gain

For hoteliers, bar and restaurant owners and F&B suppliers, the SmoothieBarmen bar and coffee zones on Vulcanus Festivals are:

  • a live showroom of a well-designed bar & coffee setup working alongside Vulcanus grills,
  • a laboratory of ideas for new cocktail lines, mocktails, coffee drinks and food & beverage pairings,
  • a meeting point for concrete cooperation and pilot projects for the next season.

International partners can work with their local Vulcanus distributor for hardware and open fire expertise, and with SmoothieBarmen as a concept and implementation partner for the bar, coffee and automation side.
