Cashless Festival FAQ
Do fans prefer cashless?
Yes. Fans move through lines faster with tap‑to‑pay and wristbands, which increases per‑fan spend and satisfaction.
Can we run hybrid (cash + cashless)?
Absolutely. Many festivals phase in cashless while keeping limited cash windows. atVenu supports both without data loss.
What happens if the network drops?
Keep selling. Our POS is offline‑ready with secure queuing and sync—purpose‑built for festival environments.
How do RFID wristbands work?
Each wristband can be linked to a card or wallet. Fans tap or scan to pay, and you get instant, item‑level reporting.
