What is the “problem” that your tool seeks to solve?
FastBar eliminates the need to use cash or a credit card at an event. We automate transactions using wearable, NFC, and mobile payment technologies. FastBar is best used at events where attendees make multiple onsite transactions. That can include, food, drinks, merchandise, auction items, donations, golf, spa or any other add on item.
What is the best audience for this tool? Corporate events? Social? Other? Large? Small?
Trade shows, festivals, fairs, galas, fundraisers, social events, holiday parties, or any event that has a cash bar or accepts drink tickets.

Anything else we need to know?
To process a transaction, we scan NFC tags. These tags can be embedded into wristbands, name badges, or even eSkin tattoos!
This weekly series spotlights a new tech tool that is designed to help make planning events much more seamless. Whether it’s using event software to track every detail from start to finish or mobile apps that deliver content to attendees’ fingertips, these technologies allow planners to divert their stress to more critical issues like deciding which napkin color looks best.
