Built for South African events · POPIA-aware

One tap.
Drinks flowing.
Zero friction.

Tapbar replaces cash and paper drink tickets with NFC wristbands. Guests tap to pay, bars see live stock, and the money settles the moment the event ends — built for South African festivals, weddings and markets.

How it works

Gate to last round in four steps

1

Join

Guests scan the event QR and load tokens by card, EFT, Apple Pay, QR — or cash at a top-up station.

2

Verify

Staff check ID once and mark the band 18+. No documents stored, ever.

3

Tap

The bartender rings up the round; one tap of the wristband approves it and deducts stock live.

4

Settle

Afterwards guests split leftover tokens between a refund, the tip pool and a cause.

Everything a mobile bar needs

One platform, first tap to final cent

Tap. Pour. Done.

NFC wristband or card, approved in seconds. The balance lives in the wallet, not the band — lose it, cancel it, link a new one.

R1 = 1 token

Event wallets guests actually understand, with no top-up or cashout fees taken from them.

Live stock control

Every pour deducts stock — cans, bottles, kegs and spirits by the millilitre. Variance reports end the guesswork.

Refunds, tips & donations

Guests split leftover tokens between a refund, the bartender tip pool and your chosen cause.

Provable offline

Lost signal in a field? The bar keeps pouring and reconciles cleanly the moment it reconnects.

Settle when it ends

A ledger-derived settlement statement — every figure traceable back to a transaction.

See the whole night, live

Every surface runs in this environment with seeded demo data — customer app, bartender POS, cash station, owner dashboard and organiser live stats.
