The first step to implement a cashless payment system is to choose the kind of technology you want to use. You should first evaluate your needs and those of your users to determine which option is more suitable for your event. At FesteaPay, we can help you decide which method works best for your event and provide a mobile payments system with our solutions tailored to each kind of event.

A cashless payment system is a payment method alternative to cash. While credit and debit cards technically are cashless, the term normally refers to more advanced systems like payment with smartphones, wristbands or other kinds of digital wallets.

Yes. We partner with Stripe and other audited and licensed payment service providers to handle all card transactions, meaning that we don't see the customer's credit card info at all, therefore eliminating the possibility of a data breach on our part. As for our service providers, none have ever had a data breach and regularly undergo security audits.

Having technical issues during your event is something we want to avoid at all costs, so we have reinforced our infrastructure to be able to handle even the most extreme peak demand times. In the unlikely event of network connectivity issues, our systems are designed to reconnect quickly and using minimum bandwidth to ensure any incident is as short as possible. No matter what happens, we have a team on call at all times during an event which will be there to help if needed.

Short answer: yes. Cashless payment systems are generally built on top of traditional credit and debit card networks, and those always charge payment processing fees which still apply when paying through a cashless system. These fees range between 1.5% and 3% for most cards. These fees don't include the cost of services provided by the cashless provider.

FesteaPay's interface for customers and staff is very intuitive and was designed do minimize the time it takes from wanting to order to having received your products. Therefore, you should not expect any difficulties during your event. We do recommend letting your attendees know that there will be a cashless system ahead of time and are happy to provide material customized to your event's brand.

Attendees only need to scan a QR to access to the menu without the need for downloading an app to their smartphone. The vast majority of users already have their payment data saved on their phone, so they can be ordering in less than a minute.

The app works with Google Pay, Apple Pay and any debit or credit card, and works both on Android and iOS.

The greater part of the time a customer spends ordering at the bar is spent writing down the order and collecting payment. For the second part, one can use a prepayment system like tokens. For the first part, the current trend is to not write down the order at all, leading to data loss.

Festea not only provides a cashless payments system but also frees bartenders from having to input the order. They only have to scan a QR code and give the customer what the reader app tells them. In this way, you get the benefits of a cashless system without missing out on any data, unlike with other cashless systems.

You'll be able to analyze the exacta number of orders of each product, as well as the benefit you get with each one of them throughout the events to be able to manage the stock in the simplest way possible.

Festea provides all the benefits of cashless without creating the need to distribute wristbands or manually input orders for future data analysis.

• No wristbands are needed: eliminate recharge points and the need to refund unused credit to your audience. Everyone has the menu on their phone to order and pay.

• Eliminate lines. Since recharge points are not required, Festea cuts the number of places where lines can form in half. Moreover, thanks to the fast cashless payments technology and to the fact that it's the customer who inputs their order, lines will not be formed at bars themselves.

• Data, data and more data! Get data on what exactly is being sold in real time, without burdening your staff with having to manually input orders.
