How to grow your payments app with mobile bars and cocktail caterers

- 1Your card appears in your app
- 2Tap it to pay in a shop
- 3See every payment as it happens
Mobile bars and cocktail caterers bring a bar to weddings, birthdays, corporate events and festivals. Most take a deposit to book the date and the balance before the event, and at cash bars they sell drinks to guests all night, often in fields with weak signal. A payments app that sends deposit and final payment links and takes quick tap payments at the bar can win these businesses, and every guest who pays sees your app.

Book dates with a deposit
A payment link sent with the quote lets the client lock in the date in a tap, so the bar isn't holding a Saturday for someone who changes their mind.

Serve the queue faster
Guests at a busy bar want to tap and go. Quick card payments mean shorter queues and more drinks sold.
Grow through events
Mobile bars work alongside caterers, wedding suppliers and party decorators. One bar on your app can introduce the others.
