Three thousand
phones. One
working signal.

Events break payment systems. Everyone arrives at once, the local cell collapses, and the bar goes cash-only at exactly the moment nobody has cash. Offline processing is the whole answer.

Live within the week

Services, durations, prices and staff loaded in — usually an afternoon's work. You take bookings the same week.

Keep your diary and your clients

Coming off Fresha, Treatwell or paper? We migrate the client list and forward bookings so nothing drops.

Your rules, enforced automatically

Deposits, cancellation windows and no-show fees set the way you want — so the system has the awkward conversation, not you.

What it does

Built for a field
with no bars.

Keeps trading offline

Card payments process without signal and sync when connectivity returns. The bar doesn't stop when the network does.

Multiple bars and stalls

Each point of sale reports separately while rolling into one set of event numbers. You know which bar actually earned.

Tickets and entry

Sell in advance and on the gate, with the same system handling both so your numbers agree.

Fast service at peak

Short menus laid out for speed. When the headliner finishes, the bar has about twenty minutes to take a day's takings.

Per-stall, per-day reporting

See which pitches, days and bars performed. Plan next year on numbers instead of impressions.

Money in fast

Next-day payouts as standard, or instant for a small fee when suppliers need paying before you've left the site.

A day on the job

Gates open
to load-out.

An event is a business that exists for three days and cannot afford an hour of downtime.

01

Set up — trading in minutes

Kit charged, menus loaded, staff logged in. No site wifi to depend on and no router to configure in a marquee.

02

Gates — the rush hits

Everyone arrives together and the cell tower saturates. Offline processing means you keep taking money regardless.

03

Peak — twenty minutes that matter

Set-change rush served fast on a short menu. Throughput is the entire revenue model.

04

Load-out — the numbers already exist

Takings by bar, by day, by hour. Settle with vendors and plan next year without reconstructing anything.

Questions

The ones we get asked.

What happens when there's no signal at all?

Square processes offline and takes the payments when connectivity returns. For events this is the single most important capability, and it's why traders switch.

Can I run several bars and see them separately?

Yes — each till reports individually and rolls up into event totals, so you can compare bars and settle with vendors accurately.

Can I sell tickets as well?

Yes, in advance and on the gate, through the same system so the numbers reconcile.

Is there a monthly fee if I only run events in summer?

Not on the Free plan. You pay when you take a payment, which suits seasonal trading far better than a fixed monthly contract.
