GABS is a 100% cashless event and all transactions must be processed using Square. 

Guidelines

• Exhibitors will receive a Square device which will be pre-loaded with your menu. All transactions must be processed via the POS provided.
• Devices cannot be manually updated, any errors or pricing updates must be lodged with GABS team to update. 
• Devices will be available in the setup period leading into opening session and returned to designated location at the conclusion of closing session.
• If you’ve never used Square before, attend the POS training session.
• Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring devices are sufficiently charged and placed in a safe position away from liquids and other damaging substances / risks.
• The Square team will be onsite for assistance throughout the event.

Non-Compliance

• All sites must use the Point of Sale devices provided by GABS Festival for all transactions. Accepting cash or using a different POS system is strictly prohibited.
• Failure to do so will result in an immediate fine of $500 and the inability to attend future events. Repeated offences will result in forfeiture of sales and closure of stand.
• Transactions will be monitored through the event and there will be “mystery shoppers” present to monitor POS usage.
• Devices are to be returned in the same condition as issued, cost of repairs / replacement to damaged devices will be oncharged to the Exhibitor.
• Failure to return devices issued will result in late fees and cost of replacement equipment will be oncharged to the Exhibitor.

Exhibitor Rebate

Following each event, GABS will return 50% of each exhibitor’s stand sales, plus 80% of the exhibitor’s merchandise sales back to the Exhibitor. This is the Exhibitor Rebate.

We will generate a Tax Invoice on behalf of each Exhibitor, and pay the Exhibitor Rebate into your nominated bank account within 7 days after the event.
