FastBar for venues
The event point of sale
for your venue
FastBar is the point of sale for the events your venue hosts: concerts, festivals, golf tournaments, banquets and VIP areas. It goes where your main POS can't, takes every way your guests pay, and your team runs it alongside the systems you use for the rest of your property.
- Goes where your main POS can't
- Keeps selling when the WiFi drops
- Your team runs it, we back you up
Trusted by events and venues across the US and beyond
The problem
Your guests came for the show.
Not the line at the bar.
Heavy registers, paper tickets and systems that don't talk to each other make every event harder than it needs to be.
The old way
With FastBar
The old way
A register that can't reach the event
Your main POS is built for restaurants and gift shops, with cables and terminals that are hard to get out to the banquet hall, the amphitheater or any other event space.
With FastBar
Mobile by design
FastBar runs on battery-powered tablets and phones, so you can set up a bar wherever the event is, and move it when you need to.
The old way
Lines that keep guests from the show
Slow payments back the line up, and guests spend the night waiting instead of enjoying your venue.
With FastBar
Payments in seconds
RFID wristband taps take under a second, and Northern Quest cut card payments from 45 seconds to 10.
The old way
Five systems for one event
Payment cards, terminals, paper chits, cash and tokens, each with its own report.
With FastBar
Every way to pay on one system
Payment cards, mobile wallets, RFID wristbands, cash, and room and member charges in one report. The Washington Athletic Club went from five systems to one.
The old way
Waiting days for the numbers
Event sales get pieced together after the fact, long after it's too late to act on them.
With FastBar
Live reporting on your phone
See sales by bar, event space and hour as they happen, and close out the moment the event ends.
The old way
Training that takes days
Seasonal and banquet staff have to learn a complicated register before every big event.
With FastBar
Ready in under five minutes
New staff learn FastBar in under five minutes, so you can staff up for any event.
Venue types
Built for the venues that host events
From tribal casinos with a summer concert series to hotels with rooftop bars and banquets, FastBar fits the events you run.
By role
Start from your role
Every department asks different questions. Here's how FastBar answers them for marketing, IT, finance and F&B operations.
The FastBar system
A complete point of sale for every event you host
Accept every way your guests pay, from payment cards to room and member charges, and see every sale from every bar and event space in one real-time dashboard.
Every way your guests pay
- RFID wristbands
- Cards: tap, chip or swipe
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Cash
- Room and member charges
<1 sec
per RFID wristband payment
Serve guests faster

faster card transactions at Northern Quest
Shorter lines

<5 min
to train new staff
Simple for your team
Set up menus in minutes, change prices on the fly, and train new staff in under five minutes.
RFID wristbands
Guests tap, and get back to the show
RFID wristbands are the fastest way through the line at concerts, festivals and VIP areas. Guests connect a payment card once, then pay with a tap at every bar and stand.
Register once
Guests connect a payment card from a pre-registration link sent with their ticket, or at a registration station on site. They can load cash instead.
Tap to pay in under a second
Secure wristbands stay on all event, so guests tap at any bar or stand and get back to the show.
Automatic close-out
Guests can check their tab anytime from the link we text them, and every tab closes out automatically when the event ends.
1 sec
per RFID wristband tap at Northern Quest, down from 45 seconds per card payment on their old system

RFID is one way to pay, not the only one. Use it everywhere, in some areas, or not at all.

- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Cash

RFID wristbands
Branded, secure RFID wristbands and registration stations, whenever you want them.

We train your team, and Premium Support is there whenever you need it, on call or on-site.

FAQ
Venue questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is happy to help.
Does FastBar replace our main point of sale?
No. FastBar is the point of sale for your events, and it runs side by side with your existing systems, so your restaurants, bars and hotel systems carry on as they are.
Should we buy or rent?
Most venues buy their hardware, because they host events all year and owning costs less over time. If you only host one or two events a year, like a New Year's Eve party, renting may suit you better. Talk to our team
How does software licensing work?
It's flexible. License FastBar just for the events you run, so if you host six events a year, you pay for six, with no subscription. If you host more, license it on an ongoing basis that flexes with your busier months. Every licence includes every FastBar feature. See pricing
Will it work where we have no WiFi?
Yes. FastBar keeps taking payments without a connection and syncs everything once it's back online. We still recommend WiFi for live reporting.
Can it work with our other systems?
Yes. FastBar runs side by side with your existing systems, so each one can do what it does best. Flexible reports make it easy to bring each event's numbers into your other systems. FastBar's open API is included at no extra cost, and if you'd like us to connect FastBar to your systems, we're happy to take it on as a professional services project. Talk to our team
Who supports us on event night?
We train your team before your first event, and Premium Support is there whenever you need it, with our team on-site for big events if you want us. 24/7 support is available.
Can we use our own iPads?
Yes. Download FastBar from the App Store and add a software licence, or buy point-of-sale kits from us.
