CORE Cashless is a leader in transaction and guest-experience systems for high-volume entertainment venues including theme parks, family entertainment centers, waterparks, stadiums, festivals, and cruise resorts. Their mission is to eliminate friction in payments and access, letting guests focus on the fun. CORE Cashless offers a full ecosystem of integrated solutions, including rugged CORE Readers that support multiple formats (RFID, NFC, barcode), CORE POS & Mobile POS systems for on-the-go staff transactions, CORE Kiosks for self-service reloading and account management, and CORE Access Control tools for managing entry and guest flow. Together, these products create a seamless, durable, and analytics-driven platform that enhances both operator efficiency and the guest experience.
