For bars & restaurants
Phone charging stations for bars & restaurants
A dead phone ends a tab early. Ampz keeps guests charged, keeps them at the table, and pays your venue on every rental.
The hidden cost of dead phones in your venue
No mobile pay, no photos, no rideshare home — a dying phone is a real reason a guest cuts a visit short. That's a shorter tab and an earlier exit, for a problem your venue didn't create and can now get paid to solve. For the full breakdown of setup, payout timing, and what to expect, see our guide to phone charging station for bars and restaurants.
How it works — scan, pay, charge, return
A guest scans the machine's QR code, pays for a power bank, and returns it to any Ampz station when they're done. They scan the code on the machine or use the app — both paths work, and nothing has to be downloaded to rent. No staff involved, no cables at the bar.
What your venue earns
Ampz runs on the partnership model that fits your business. Every station also carries an on-machine screen — added visibility for house specials, events, or a sponsor.
Host
Ampz owns and services the machine; your venue shares in the revenue. Zero capex.
Purchase
Buy the unit outright and keep the rental income.
Lease
Fixed monthly cost, predictable, no revenue-share math.
Exact revenue terms and screen specs are set per model and location — request a plan.
Zero operational lift
Ampz handles servicing and monitoring remotely. Your team doesn't manage batteries, doesn't troubleshoot the machine, and doesn't add a task to close duties. Once the agreement is signed, the sequence is: site walk → install → live.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the hardware?
Depends on your model — Ampz (Host), your venue (Purchase/Lease).
What happens if a power bank isn't returned?
Covered in the partner agreement; not the venue's liability.
How long is the contract?
Term length is set per partnership model — ask for specifics with your plan.
Does it need wifi or an electrical run?
Standard power outlet; the unit connects over cellular, not house wifi.
When do we see our first payout?
Payout timing is set per model — ask for specifics with your plan.
What cities is this in?
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.
