Payments for Theatres

Fast, reliable payments across every bar.

Contactless-first payments designed for the speed of interval service. Every transaction captured, every bar reconciled, every penny accounted for.

The problem

Slow card machines cost you sales during the interval.

When every second counts, a payment terminal that takes 10 seconds instead of 2 means dozens of lost transactions. Dines payments are built for speed at scale.

Reliable payments in buildings that test them.

Reliable payments in buildings that test them.

Historic theatres are full of thick walls and Wi-Fi dead spots. Dines fails over from Wi-Fi to eSIM automatically, and if both drop, offline mode kicks in. Your bars keep taking payments in the auditorium, the upper circle, and everywhere in between.

  • Automatic failover: Wi-Fi → eSIM → offline
  • 97.3% offline transaction capture rate
  • Multi-bar reconciliation runs automatically at the end of each show

Key features

Built for the way theatres actually work.

Contactless-first

Tap and go. Optimised for the most common interval transaction so your team can serve the next customer fast.

Multi-Bar Reconciliation

Automatic end-of-show reconciliation across lobby, circle, and stalls bars.

Pre-Payment for Pre-Orders

Customers pay when they order, not when they collect. Reduces interval payment load.

Tab Support

Corporate hospitality tabs and group accounts for sponsors and VIP guests.

Tipping

Optional tipping prompt on the terminal for bar staff.

Offline payments

Old buildings mean Wi-Fi dead spots. Dines fails over to eSIM or offline mode automatically so you never stop taking payments, even in the auditorium.
