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

Guidelines

• Product and pricing is required in advance of the festival for system configuration. 
• Exhibitors will receive a POS device which will be pre-loaded with your menu. All transactions must be processed via this device(s). 
• Devices cannot be manually updated, any errors or pricing updates must be lodged with GABS team via the WhatsApp command centre. 
• Devices will be available in the setup period leading into opening session and will be collected from your site at the conclusion of the closing session. DO NOT leave your site until the device has been collected by the support team. 
• POS training will be offered if required. Please select this option via the exhibitor portal during the registration process.  
• Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring devices are sufficiently charged and placed in a safe position away from liquids and other damaging substances / risks.
• The POS team will be onsite for assistance throughout the event.

Non-Compliance

• 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.
