Food, Drink & Exhibitor Festivals
Cashless payment system for food, drink & exhibitor festivals
One tap-to-pay wallet across food stalls, bars, and exhibitor booths — with automated settlement for a mixed vendor floor.
Across Lebanon and the region, the biggest events put everything under one roof: food stalls, drink and cocktail bars, and rows of exhibitor and brand booths selling crafts, fashion, and products. That mix is great for attendees and a nightmare for payments — every vendor type ends up running its own cash float, its own change problems, and its own end-of-night count. PayFest replaces all of it with a single NFC wallet: attendees top up once and tap to pay at any booth, whether they're buying a manoushe, a cocktail, or a handmade product.
Every vendor — food truck, bar, or exhibitor — gets a tap-to-pay terminal on an ordinary Android phone, so there's no hardware to rent per stall and onboarding takes minutes. Exhibitors in particular stop losing the classic “sorry, cash only” sale: cashless tapping turns browsing into impulse buys and lifts spend across food, drink, and retail alike. Meanwhile you watch the whole floor in real time and settle every trader automatically at close — no spreadsheets, no cash reconciliation across a hundred mixed vendors.
Why It Works
Built for food, drink & exhibitor festivals
How PayFest solves the payment problems specific to food, drink & exhibitor festivals.
One wallet for every booth
Attendees top up once and tap to pay at food stalls, bars, and exhibitor booths alike — no separate tokens, no cash, no 'which stall takes what'.
Onboard any vendor in minutes
Food trucks, cocktail bars, and product booths each get a tap-to-pay terminal on a phone — no special hardware to rent or wire per stall.
Win the impulse sale
Exhibitors stop losing 'cash only' sales — frictionless tapping turns browsing into impulse buys and lifts spend across food, drink, and retail.
Settle a mixed floor automatically
Per-vendor sales are tallied and reconciled at close across every category, so food, drink, and exhibitor traders are paid accurately without a cash count.
