OUR STORY
OUR STORY
BARCODE did not start with a business plan. It started in 2010, with William Albrecht and a hospitality agency called Team-Work, placing trained crew at events across Belgium. Tatiana Moens worked there as a student, learning the job from the inside. In 2013, she joined William as a partner.
For years, Team-Work showed up everywhere: weddings, festivals, corporate nights, private dinners. Bars set up at midnight, broken down at five in the morning, in barns, beach tents, ballrooms, warehouses. And every time, William and Tatiana noticed the same thing.
When you plan an event, you pick the venue first. Then a caterer. The caterer focuses on the food, because that is what they are good at. Drinks get added to the side of the contract, almost as an afterthought. Cheap glassware, a folding table, a couple of crates, a friend pouring beers.
Meanwhile, guests drink as much as they eat. Sometimes more. The first thing they hold at an event is a drink. The last face they see is the bartender. The bar carries the whole evening, but no one had built a service that took drinks as seriously as caterers take food.
So we did. BARCODE was born.

OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
At BARCODE, we look at drinks catering differently. We are a team of drinks specialists who carry the whole bar side of an event from start to finish. Ordering the drinks, building the bar, pouring behind it, even bringing the empties back when the night is over. Wherever you need us, we step in.
Over the years we have worked weddings, festivals, corporate launches, private dinners. Every event has its own rhythm and its own kind of guest. We know how to read a room and look after the people in it. That is what we are here for.

OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH
It starts with a conversation. What are you celebrating, what does the event need, what is the budget. We listen first. Then we build a clear proposal with a plan and a price that fits what you actually need. Together we shape the final version, line by line, so nothing is over-promised and nothing is missed.
Once it is signed, we take the worry off your hands. We run the drinks side from the moment the first crate arrives to the moment the last guest puts down their glass. We follow the timings, lead the team behind the bar, and look after the stock and the gear like it is our own kitchen. You get to be the host. We handle the bar.
After the last guest leaves, we pack down cleanly. Bottles counted, glasses stacked, gear ready for pickup the next morning. The venue stays the way we found it, and you get to go home and sleep. That is the part most people forget to think about, and it is the part we care about most.
