anyKrowd
Cashless wallets, ticketing and CRM for venues
anyKrowd gives clubs, festivals and event venues one platform combining ticketing, closed-loop cashless payments (app or RFID), access control and real-time spend dashboards. Belgian clients include Hangar, Jeux d'Hiver, Reggae Geel, Voodoo Village and RWDM. The pitch is that venues run bar payments and customer data on their own stack instead of stitching a POS to a ticketing provider.
Our reading. Best for clubs, festivals and event venues that want cashless bars plus first-party customer data.
