IEM's, new desk. Who then owns the equipment?

No, a digital stage box would be something like a Behringer XR18, or an Allen & Heath QU-SB.

 

An hour seems like a long time to set up for a 5 piece.

Drummer's new mixer is one of these; https://www.studiospares.com/studiomatser-club-xs-16-16-channel-mixer-860080.htm  That's not a "digital stage box", is it? Pardon my ignorance..

 

Very much not! And only gives you 2 aux for monitor mixes, but then it's not that expensive.

Sounds like the drummer and guitarist have it worked out. 1 aux for their IEM mix, one for the monitors. 

 

I wouldn't overthink it. It's a step up from a 4 chanel mixer with one aux. And not much money.

 2 aux out? Pathetic, my analog Yamaha does 3 aux out pre-fade and one post-fade which can be pressed into service if necessary.

We moved to IEMs, but proper cheap and dirty approach. 
 

I run a Kemper into our mixer (which is actually an audio interface), guitarist is using plugins and VSTs. We use a splitter cable for vocals and fire into the interface. Then mix in Ableton (which includes the click track) into a cheap IEM box. Output goes to the iems and guitar and synths come out to separate DIs. I use another output on the Kemper (or QC, or Darkglass - as has evolved in the past while)
 

Everything IEM (and guitar/laptop) fits in a 2U case. We can be setup in 5 mins. Minus the drummer. He takes a while. 

edit: should say - we play originals and don’t need our own PA etc.
