How it works
Simple for you. Seamless for your guests.
The entire process runs itself. From installation to monthly payments, we handle everything.
01
We deliver and install
We bring the unit to your venue, position it in the right spot and connect it to a standard plug socket. No engineers, no disruption, no downtime.
02
Guests tap and borrow
A customer taps her card on the unit and takes a charged power bank, and keeps their phone topped up throughout their visit. They return it before they leave.
03
You earn every month
We monitor stock levels remotely, restock automatically and send you a full report alongside your monthly commission payment. No action needed from you.
Why it works for venues
More than just a charging point.
A charging unit does three things at once - solves a guest problem, keeps people in your venue longer, and generates income you didn’t have before.
Passive monthly income
You earn a commission on every rental made at your venue, paid monthly with full transparent reporting. No effort required on your part.

⌚︎
Guests stay longer
Don’t give people a reason to leave your venue. A customer whose phone is dying is a customer thinking about leaving. Remove that obstacle and retain customers.
⌀
Zero staff involvement
Can you just charge my phone behind the bar? Less requests, less staff distraction, less liability for customer’s phones left behind the bar. No work for you or your staff.
✓
We handle everything
Installation, remote monitoring, restocking and maintenance are all on us. If something needs attention, we deal with it - you just collect your monthly payment.
⚡︎
Negligible running costs
The unit draws around 10-15 watts - similar to a small LED bulb. Your electricity cost is approximately £3 per month. Similar to a cup of coffee.
⎚
Your screen, your content
The unit’s built in display can show your upcoming events, promotions and offers - giving you a free digital advertising point right where your customers are standing.
