For venues
Phone charging stations, by the room you run
The machine is the same everywhere. What changes is why people in your room reach for it, where it should sit, and what it is worth to you. Pick the kind of business you run — each page covers placement, what staff have to do, and how a venue gets one.
Bars & restaurants
The table that stays longer
A dead phone is the thing that ends a table early — the tab gets closed so someone can get to a charger. A station answers that without a server lending a cable nobody gets back.
Gyms & studios
The phone is part of the workout
Music, the tracking app, the timer, the ride home. A member on a low battery cuts the session short. The machine sits where they already stop, and staff manage nothing.
Hotels & lobbies
The charger question your desk already gets
Guests land with nothing left in the battery and ask the front desk. An amenity you did not have to build, at a desk that is already checking in a queue.
Malls & centres
A dead phone ends the visit
No map, no payment, no photos, no way to find the car — so the visit ends and the spend stops. A station keeps the shopper in the building for the rest of the afternoon.
Your kind of room isn't on this list
These are the pages we have written, not the venues we take. Salons, clinics and waiting rooms, dealerships, event spaces, coworking floors, campuses, casinos, bowling and entertainment centres — if people in your room are on their phones and stay a while, the machine works there. We started in Dallas and install anywhere in the US. If your venue wants a machine, apply and we will make it happen — no waitlist, no service-area restriction. You know your floor better than we do, so tell us about the room and we will work out where it goes with you.
The same four steps in every room
Someone scans the code on the machine or uses the app, pays there, and takes one power bank. It goes in a pocket and keeps charging while they carry on doing whatever they came to your venue to do — so nobody is stuck standing next to a wall socket. They return it to any Ampz station. Your staff hand out nothing, take no payment and manage no batteries. There is no build-out and no electrical run: the unit takes about a square foot and sits on a counter or a stand near a standard outlet, and it connects over cellular rather than your wifi. Ampz handles servicing and monitoring remotely.
