Feature · wristband balance
Balance on a wristband. No network, no app.
The guest tops up at the door and pays at the counter by tapping. No wallet, no PIN, no queue at the card terminal.
Why bother?
- Card payments take too long at the barFive seconds per payment sounds small — with 400 guests that is 33 minutes of queue per night.
- Cash at three bars is a counting problemEvery drawer separately, every discrepancy explained separately. At four in the morning.
- The network dies exactly when it is busyA terminal without network means no payment. A balance on the chip needs no network.
How it works
Top up At the door or the bar
Top up in cash or by card, the amount lands on the wristband. Every top-up is a cash-book entry — traceable, not „somewhere in the chip".
Spend Tap and done
The bar deducts straight from the balance, tip included. Double spending is technically impossible (a lock per band), even if two bars cash out at once.
Scope The balance belongs to YOUR venue
It is tied to your business — not transferable across the platform. Enforced technically with per-programme keys, not by house rules.
End Leftover balance is not a free lunch
Payout and expiry are governed processes with a receipt — no silent retention, no spreadsheet on the side.
Where are the limits?
Honesty matters most here, because it is someone else's money:
Balances are a matter of trust.
So we talk about it before you use it, not after. Four questions to start.
