Phone charging for cafés, pubs and restaurants

Customers stay longer. It costs you nothing.

We put a power-bank station on your counter. Guests tap a card or phone, take a charged bank and keep their night going.

Why venues say yes

A full battery keeps a table full.

We post you the station and look after it. You give it a spot on the counter.

Keep customers around longer

A guest with a flat phone leaves. A guest with a charged one orders another round.

Support your payment menus

QR menus, app ordering and tap-to-pay all need a phone with battery. Keep them working.

Stop lending out chargers

No more cables behind the bar or phones charging by the till. Guests help themselves.
