Organizing a student gala requires meticulous logistics: venue, music, security, catering... and, above all, payment management.
Between the ticket office, the bar, the checkroom and the entertainment, an efficient payment system is essential to avoid queues and maximize sales.
💡 More and more student associations are opting for a cashless or hybrid solution to gain in speed and security.
1️⃣ Why the choice of payment system is crucial for a student gala
At a gala, every minute counts:
- Long queues = lost sales
- Poor cash management = risk of error, theft and loss
- Limited means of payment = frustrated participants
A good payment system needs to be simple, fast and reliable, even with a large number of participants.
