Point of sale and payments for live events
FastBar is the lightning-fast point of sale built for events and the venues that host them. Accept cards, mobile wallets, cash and RFID wristbands, and see every sale in real time.
Trusted by events and venues across the US and beyond
The FastBar system
Accept every way your guests want to pay, and see every sale from every bar, vendor and location in one real-time dashboard.
Every way your guests pay
<1 sec
per RFID wristband payment
A wristband tap takes less than a second and a card about ten. Your staff spend their time serving, not waiting on a payment screen.
16–35%
higher spend at cashless events
When lines move, guests come back for another drink, another plate, another shirt. Faster checkout turns into more sales every hour.
<5 min
to train new staff
Set up menus in minutes, change prices on the fly, and see sales by bar, vendor and product as they happen. Reporting is done when the event is.
The problem
Cash boxes, drink tickets, tokens and old registers weren't built for a rush of guests who all want to buy at once.
The old way
With FastBar
The old way
Slow transactions back the line up. Guests give up, buy less, and remember the wait.
With FastBar
Wristband taps in under a second and cards in about ten keep the line moving.
The old way
Cash, tickets and tokens all get counted and matched by hand, long after guests go home.
With FastBar
When the event is done, it's done. Your reports are ready to export and share.
The old way
You can't see which bar is slammed or what's running low while it still matters.
With FastBar
See sales by bar, vendor and product as they happen, and move staff where they're needed.
The old way
Retail and restaurant POS struggle with outdoor sites, spotty WiFi and dozens of vendors.
With FastBar
Works offline, runs on lightweight mobile devices, and handles every vendor in one system.
Who we serve
