EPOS for venues and attractions

We fit venues and attractions with a till built for high footfall at speed: ticketing and entry scanning, cashless top-up accounts, and fast service across bars, kiosks and retail points, all reporting back to one system.

What a venue or attraction till needs

A venue runs several kinds of trade at once: ticketing at the door, drinks and food at the bar, and merchandise or retail at a kiosk, and all of it needs to report back to one place rather than three tills that don’t talk to each other. Entry has to move fast enough that a queue doesn’t build before the doors even open properly, season ticket and membership holders expect to get through quicker than a one-off visitor, and an interval or a half-time break needs to clear a bar or concession queue in minutes, not the whole break. Outdoor sites and one-off or multi-day events add another layer: hardware needs to survive being set up fresh each day, not just sit on a fixed counter.

Kit we recommend

Ticketing handles the door: unlimited ticket types, a seat-plan creator for allocated seating, and a free Entry Scanner app that checks each ticket’s QR code in or out. Around the venue, TouchTopUp runs cashless accounts so visitors load money once and spend it at any bar, kiosk or retail point on site, and CollectionPoint clears a food or drink queue by calling orders forward instead of a queue forming to ask. At a busy bar or concession point, SelfService kiosks let visitors order and pay without queuing for a till, particularly useful when an interval or a half-time break packs everyone in at once. For entry and retail kiosks, we fit the Aures KRYSTAL or, for a bigger concourse, the Aures KOMET or Oxhoo ELYA 27, both with a printer and scanner built in, and a hands-free scanner such as the Aures XP7680G at a merchandise or retail point. Where staff need to sell away from a fixed point, such as a concession stand or a roaming vendor at an event, CES Edge runs a full till on a handheld instead.

A typical setup

A ticketing and entry point, cashless top-up for spending around the venue, and till or kiosk points for bars, retail and catering, all on the same reporting system, so you can see the whole day’s trade in one place rather than reconciling several. Every point of sale, from the ticket desk to the bar, feeds the same TouchOffice Web dashboard, so cashing up at the end of the night doesn’t mean adding up several separate tills by hand. A rugged handheld such as the Oxhoo TAB10 suits staff checking tickets or stock away from a fixed counter.

Integrations that matter here

Ticketing platforms, cashless payment providers and accounting software are the integrations venues and attractions ask about most, DigiTickets among them for recording a ticket sale and redeeming it at the door. See the full integrations directory for what’s available, or read how we handle webhooks, polling and file drops for EPOS data if you’re weighing up a less common system.

Support after we fit it

We fit the ticketing, till and top-up hardware on site, set entry, bar and retail points up to report to one system, and train your team before doors open. As ticket types or pricing tiers change between seasons, we update the setup rather than leaving you to work around what’s already built. We’re based in Runcorn and support venues and attractions across the North West, from a single-site attraction to a multi-outlet venue.

A shift in service

Doors open and season pass holders scan straight through at entry while new visitors buy tickets at the desk. Through the day, cashless top-up accounts move visitors through bars and kiosks quickly, and when the interval rush hits, self-service points and CollectionPoint’s order queue clear the crowd before the show starts again.
