The problem
Your guests came for the show.
When the line's too long, they skip the drink.
Intermission rushes, slow payments and end-of-night counts leave money on the table at every show.
The old way
With FastBar
The old way
Lines that eat the intermission
Everyone heads to the bar at once. Guests who see the line decide it isn't worth it, and the ones who wait miss part of the show.
With FastBar
A tap, and back to the show
An RFID wristband tap takes under a second, and venues using FastBar have cut card transaction times by up to 78%.
The old way
Not enough bars where the crowd is
When one area gets busier than you planned, getting another bar up and running takes equipment and time you may not have.
With FastBar
Sell anywhere
FastBar runs on battery-powered tablets and phones, so you can open a portable bar or a pop-up wherever the crowd is.
The old way
End-of-night till counts
Cash and receipts from every stand get counted and matched long after the doors close.
With FastBar
Done when the show is
Every sale is recorded as it happens, so your numbers are ready the moment you close out.
The old way
Vendors on separate systems
When food and beverage partners or pop-up vendors sell on their own systems, you're left piecing their numbers together after the show.
With FastBar
Every vendor on one system
Vendors sell on FastBar, you both see the same sales live, and FastBar's digital settlement does the math.
The old way
Sales lost when the network drops
A packed venue is hard on payment systems that need a good connection.
With FastBar
Keeps selling offline
Every payment method keeps working offline, and sales sync automatically once you're back online.
The FastBar system
A complete point of sale, purpose-built for events
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
- 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
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
Sell more
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
Simplify operations
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.
RFID wristbands
The fastest way to pay: a tap of the wrist
Attendees connect a payment card or load cash once, then pay with a tap of their wristband at every bar and booth. No wallets, phones or tokens to dig out.
Register once
Attendees connect a payment card from a pre-registration link sent with their ticket, or at a registration station on site. Prefer cash? They can load it onto their wristband instead.
Tap to pay in under a second
Secure wristbands stay on all event, so attendees just tap at any bar or booth and get back to the show.
Automatic close-out
Attendees can check their tab anytime from the link we text them. When the event ends, every tab closes out automatically.
<1 sec
per wristband tap, so lines keep moving and attendees come back for more
Every other way to pay works too
RFID is one way to pay, not the only one. Use it everywhere, in some areas, or not at all.
- Credit and debit cards
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Cash
- Member and room charges

Own your setup, run it your way
Venues and teams that run events all year usually own their FastBar setup. We train your team, then you run FastBar yourselves, with support whenever you need it.
Devices
Point-of-sale kits with a tablet, stand and card reader, or run FastBar on iPads you already have. Light enough to move between bars and spaces.
Flexible licensing
License FastBar just for the events you run, or on an ongoing basis that flexes with your busy months. Every licence includes every FastBar feature.
RFID wristbands
Branded, secure RFID wristbands and registration stations, whenever you want them.
Training and support
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.
Can FastBar handle a sold-out show?
Yes. Northern Quest runs its amphitheater concert series on FastBar, and RFID wristband taps take under a second, so the line keeps moving through every rush. Read the story
Can we sell from portable bars and pop-ups?
Yes. FastBar runs on battery-powered tablets and phones, so any table can become a bar.
Does it work with our food and beverage partner?
Yes. Partners and vendors can sell on FastBar with their own menus and their own view of their sales, and the digital settlement works out what each side owes.
Will it work when the venue network is busy?
Yes. FastBar keeps taking payments without a connection and syncs everything once it's back online.
Can we see sales by stand?
Yes. Set up each stand or bar as its own location and see what each one sold, as it happens.
Should we buy or rent?
Venues that host shows all year usually buy their hardware, because owning costs less over time. If you only host a few events, renting may suit you better. See pricing
