FASTBAR BENEFITS
Serve More Guests, Maximize Sales
FastBar is built for high-volume events where every second—and every transaction—counts.
With payment processing under one second, your lines stay short, your guests stay satisfied, and your sales never slow down. Whether it’s a drink, a snack, or a t-shirt, guests don’t hesitate when checkout is instant.
Because nobody wants to wait 20 minutes for a beer—or walk away from a purchase because the line feels too long.
The results speak for themselves. Industry studies indicate that adopting a cashless system can increase revenue by 16–35%. At FastBar-powered events, we regularly see guests spend twice as much as they do with legacy systems—simply because they’re served faster, more often, and with less friction.
Increase Guest Satisfaction
At live events, the guest experience is everything—and nothing frustrates attendees faster than long lines, clunky systems, or confusing payment flows.
FastBar makes every transaction effortless. Whether guests are tapping a card, swiping a phone, scanning a wristband, or using a pre-loaded event card, the checkout process is fast, familiar, and seamless—no apps to download, no accounts to create, and no barriers to spending.
It just works. And that’s exactly what guests expect.
From the very first interaction, FastBar reinforces a sense of professionalism and polish. With sub-second transaction speeds and an intuitive interface for service staff, your guests stay in the moment—instead of stuck in line.
Smarter Event Control & Profitability
FastBar provides real-time visibility into what’s happening across your event—enabling you to make better decisions faster.
Track sales, inventory, and staff performance in real time. Spot trends before they become problems. Identify high-performing zones, adjust pricing on the fly, or redeploy staff where they’re needed most—all without leaving the floor.
You’re no longer flying blind until the next day’s report. You’re steering the event in real-time.
With centralized data and actionable insights, FastBar doesn’t just streamline service—it unlocks new levels of profitability. From optimizing bar layouts to reducing overstaffing and waste, you’re armed with the information you need to drive more revenue from the same footprint.

FastBar processes payments in less than a second—even during peak rushes. That means more guests served per hour, shorter lines, and fewer walkaways. Your team moves faster, your bars stay unclogged, and your guests stay happy.
2x Guest Spend at Many Events
When guests don’t have to wait or fumble through payment, they spend more. FastBar clients consistently report 100% or more significant increases in per-guest sales simply by removing the increases of 100% or more in per-capita sales simply by removing the checkout bottleneck
