About Whizz-kit: the offline-first festival POS system

Whizz-kit built the modern POS system the festival industry needs. Fast, offline-proof and reliable. 7.6% more bar revenue. Discover our story.

Our story: from calculation tool to festival POS system

Whizz-kit was founded in 2022 in Arnhem by Frank and Christiaan. Frank brought years of experience from festival hospitality, Christiaan his expertise from the software and hardware world. Together they saw one frustration recurring: unnecessary, costly calculation errors at the bar.

What started as a simple calculation tool to help bar staff rapidly grew into a complete festival POS system. By 2025, there are more than 1000 registers in stock and Whizz-kit runs at 350+ festivals per year in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Caribbean.

Why offline-first is at the core

A festival is controlled chaos: peak crowds, poor connectivity and thousands of people at once. That is exactly when the POS system has to keep running. That is why Whizz-kit is built offline-first: it works fully without internet, with no limit on time or revenue. Transactions are processed locally and sync automatically the moment the connection returns.

That is our revenue guarantee. We don't just rent out registers, we protect your revenue. Every payment goes through, even without internet and even under maximum pressure, with direct scalability up to mega festivals with 100,000+ visitors.

Built for the reality of festivals

Whizz-kit combines PIN, tokens, Eventcards and hybrid payments in one system, with integrated deposit management and a real-time dashboard. The average 7.6% higher bar revenue comes from speed and error reduction at the bar. Organizers choose Whizz-kit for its delivery reliability and the unique offline-first methodology that guarantees bar sales always continue.
