full.bar stations rent portable phone batteries anywhere people gather — cafés, clinics, laundromats, gyms, and yes, bars. Grab one, charge on the go, drop it back. And every rental splits three ways: the venue hosting it, the operator who placed it, and us.
Free to host, zero work to run. Your customers stay longer (and remember who saved their battery) — we even mail fresh batteries before the station runs out. Your staff just slots them in.
Become a hostYou find a venue and make the pitch — we ship the station and run everything else. Every venue you sign pays you 37% of its rentals for the next 18 months. $199 per placement.
Become an operatorTap a card, take a charged battery. $3 to start with the first 30 minutes included, then $1 per 30 — capped at $20 a day.
The battery goes with them — across the waiting room or across town. Return it to any open slot. Held onto it? At $45 total it's theirs and the meter stops. Nobody ever pays more than that.
Net revenue from every rental splits automatically — 37% to the operator who placed the station, 33% to the venue, 30% to full.bar. Paid out weekly.
The station itself
An 8-slot countertop dispenser, about 15 inches tall, online over Wi-Fi or LTE. It reports its own battery inventory — when it runs low, we mail the venue fresh ones.
The split never changes — no negotiation, no tiers, no fine print. Costs come off the top (card processing, the battery itself on a buyout), and what's left divides the same way on every rental, at every venue.
The only question is which side of it you're on.
Operator — whoever placed the station
Venue — whoever hosts it
full.bar — we run the network
Splits apply to net revenue (gross minus processing and hardware costs). Operator share runs for 18 months per venue placement — full terms on the operator page.
An 8-slot countertop dispenser of portable phone batteries, about 15 inches tall, connected over Wi-Fi or LTE. It takes card payments, tracks every rental, and reports its own battery inventory so we know when to mail the venue more.
$3 to unlock a battery (first 30 minutes included), then $1 per 30 minutes, capped at $20 per day. Total charges are hard-capped at $45 — at that point the battery simply belongs to the customer and billing stops. Nobody can ever be charged more.
We do, by mail. The station tells us when it runs low and we ship fresh batteries straight to the venue. Staff slot them in — about thirty seconds of work. Operators have no servicing duties.
full.bar, always. Venues host the station for free; operators pay a program fee for the revenue share, not for equipment. If a placement winds down, the hardware comes back to us.
Anywhere people gather and wait: cafés, clinics and medical waiting rooms, laundromats, gyms, salons, hotels, campuses — and nightlife. If phones drain there, a station earns there.
