History
The WizBang Technologies onetap point of sale system began life in 1997, in the basement of entrepreneur John Hansen's house in Auckland, New Zealand. John's dream was to create a ground-breaking and innovative new hospitality point of sale system, encompassing wireless hand held technology. Wi-Fi wireless networking was not available for portable devices at the time, so the wireless radio units were designed and hand-engineered individually. Working together with software designer and daughter Amanda, a first class honours graduate in MSIS, a complete hospitality working prototype was built and put into field tests at several hospitality venues in Auckland. The feedback was incredible, and suddenly John and Amanda's POS system incorporating wireless mobile ordering units was in hot demand. WizBang Technologies was born.
