The Story

2022-2025

01.

The Client

Hogs for the Cause is a New Orleans institution—part BBQ competition, part music festival, and a major fundraiser. With 100+ teams, 30,000+ attendees, and millions of dollars raised each year for families battling pediatric brain cancer, organizers needed reliable tech to handle it all.

The Challenge

High foot traffic, a cash-heavy setup, and a wide-open venue created operational bottlenecks. Organizers wanted to go fully cashless, while still supporting a premium guest and VIP experience.

03.

The Results

WRSTBND deployed 200+ cashless POS devices and transitioned the event to a fully digital payment model. VIP guests used wristbands with stored credits, while GA attendees paid via mobile. The result: faster lines, smoother ops, and record-breaking sales.
