# POS and Ticketing System for Events and Entertainment Venues in Kenya

POS and ticket sales for events, cinemas and entertainment venues in Kenya

Every typed price is a chance for a mistake, and every mistake is money.

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Tickets are sold without a count tied to gate entry.
- Gate and bar cash is counted by hand late at night.
- Ticket types and prices change per event and are applied unevenly.

Quick answer

At an event, money moves fast at the gate, the bar and the food stalls. Without a record, ticket counts and takings are argued about after the crowd has left.

### If you wait

- Queues because every price is typed
- Mistakes you find out about at month end

### What you get

- Scan and sell in seconds
- Stock updates with every sale
- An end-of-day report for each cashier

**Event summary**: Tickets sold, revenue and drinks sold

## Typical equipment

| 80mm receipt printer | Prints receipts and kitchen or bar orders |
| Barcode scanner | Scans products in a second, with no price typing errors |
| Cash drawer | Opens automatically on each cash sale |
| Portable receipt or ticket printer | For gate and bar tills |
| Mobile POS handheld (optional) | For roaming sellers |
