Krewe.Tools

Run your krewe like a well-oiled float.

Registration, dues, floats, throws, events and reports in one home for your krewe. Members pay online. Officers see everything. Nobody opens a spreadsheet.

Every member’s money in one place

Dues, throws orders and event tickets each keep their own balance, side by side on one member record. What does this rider owe? One click to know.

Your own Stripe account

Each krewe connects its own Stripe. Your name is on the statement, payouts land in your bank, and card or bank transfer both work.

Ready for next season

Accounts, member types and lieutenants stay with your krewe from year to year, and floats copy forward. Returning riders never start from scratch.

Less time chasing dues. More time on the float.

Members and registration

Registration that runs itself.

Open registration on a date, and riders sign up, answer your questions, sign your membership agreement and pay at least your minimum to hold their spot. When the season is full, people join the waiting list and you invite them in as spots open.

  • Custom questions and member types
  • A signed agreement from every rider, every season
  • A member portal where riders keep their contact details and answers up to date
  • Directions to the den, parade staging and events

Membership agreement

I understand that riding in the parade carries risk and agree to the krewe’s rules on conduct, throws and costumes…

Dues and payments

Every dollar, accounted for.

Dues, partial payments, credits and charges live on each member’s Dues tab, with their throws orders and tickets right beside it. Members pay by card or bank transfer through your krewe’s own Stripe account.

  • Pay any amount after the minimum, by your balance-due date
  • Credits and manual charges from the Dues tab
  • An optional discount for paying by bank transfer
  • Dues balances and season totals reports, ready to download

Parade operations

Every seat on every float, assigned.

Lay out each float the way it really is: one or two levels, driver and sidewalk seats, stairs and bathrooms marked. Give each float a lieutenant, who drags their riders into seats and submits the chart, then you publish it to riders.

  • Last year’s seat shown as a hint for returning riders
  • Substitutes without losing the original rider’s record
  • Seating PDFs, float rosters, and riders without costumes or waivers

Events and ticketing

Sell the ball, the tables and the after party.

Set up an event, choose which member types can buy, and sell single tickets or whole tables. Free events work as an RSVP. At the door, check guests in from any phone by scanning their ticket.

  • Paid tickets through Stripe, or free RSVPs
  • Table seat counts on tickets, emails and the check-in list
  • Door check-in from several phones at once

And the rest of the season.

Krewes without floats never see Parade Ops, and a krewe that doesn’t sell throws can keep its store closed. Use what you need.

Store and throws

Products with sizes, colors and stock, sold only to your members, with you choosing which groups can shop. Distribution day runs off a QR code: an order is ready for pickup the moment it is paid in full.

Rider packageCase of beadsLED throwsReady for pickup

Reports

Float roster, riders without costumes, dues balances, season totals, throws inventory and more. Download any of them as a spreadsheet.

Lieutenant tools

Their riders, those riders’ seats, orders and tickets, and the float’s seating chart. Nothing from anyone else’s float.

Admin tools

Look up and edit any member, add one by hand, apply a credit or a charge, assign lieutenants and store managers.

Season to season

Accounts, member types and lieutenants carry over, floats copy forward, and last year’s seat shows as a hint when you build this year’s chart.

Your krewe, your brand

Every krewe gets its own site with its own logo, colors, sender address, data and Stripe account. One platform behind it, kept up to date for everyone at once.

Built for everyone in the krewe.

Officers and treasurers

See who has paid, who has not, and what the season has collected, without reconciling three spreadsheets and a Venmo feed.

Lieutenants

Your float, your riders, their seats and their throws. See whose dues are paid and who still needs a costume, right from your phone.

Riders

Register, pay part now and the rest later, buy your throws and your ball tickets, and find the den on parade morning.

Krewe.Tools grew out of custom systems built for working New Orleans krewes. The business rules, the edge cases and the hard-won lessons from real parade seasons are already in it.

Questions krewes ask us

Does each krewe get its own site?

Yes. Every krewe has its own site with its own address, logo, colors, members, data and Stripe account. Nothing is shared between krewes except the software underneath, which we keep updated for everyone at once.

Who processes the payments?

Your krewe does, through its own Stripe account. Your name appears on the member’s statement, payouts go to your bank, and you own refunds and disputes.

Can members pay in installments?

Yes. For dues, a member pays at least the minimum you set to hold their spot, then pays the rest by your balance-due date, in as many payments as they like. Throws orders can be paid in part too, and are ready for pickup once paid in full. Event tickets are always paid in full.

What happens at the end of the season?

Your krewe carries into the next season. Member accounts, member types and lieutenants stay put, floats copy forward, and each rider’s last seat shows as a hint on the new seating chart. A guided season rollover is on the way.

Can lieutenants see only their own riders?

Yes. A lieutenant sees their float, their riders, those riders’ seats, orders and tickets, and nothing else.

Our krewe needs a custom feature. Can it be added?

In most cases, yes. If you have something specific in mind, send the details to [email protected] and we’ll let you know what’s possible. Custom features may carry a one-time development cost.
