Since 2016

The Hofbräuhaus in Munich is considered the most famous tavern in the world. Filled beer steins, hearty Bavarian food, and living tradition keep the tables and benches full all year round. The constant coming and going requires strict access control to key areas such as the taproom, kitchen, storage, and administrative offices. This task is now handled by an electronic locking system.

Another advantage of the solution: the transition into the digital age did not come at the expense of the historic building fabric. Without extensive structural modifications, the system was seamlessly integrated into the diverse spatial concepts within the Hofbräuhaus’s historic architecture.

The task

An emotional film production was to be used to convey easily comprehensible product information and brand appeal, and to reduce inhibitions towards a technology that requires explanation. To this end, we leveraged the international renown of Munich's Hofbräuhaus. To ensure smooth and secure operational processes, access to the bar, kitchen, storage areas, etc. is controlled there. The perfect medium for our film and corresponding storytelling: impressions of the world-famous restaurant support the accessible short film about the customer benefits of this locking system as a solution for a business of this size. An authentic solution in a practical example, credibility and a good story that does not focus purely on technical features. A link to newsletter campaigning and extension on social media were part of the strategy.
