04 Solutions
Built for the places people stay, eat, train and work.
Hostels
Hostels and budget accommodation
In shared dorms, sockets are often in short supply. A station at reception or in the common room lets guests take a charged powerbank out for the day, or charge in their bunk without queuing for a plug.
Food & drink
Restaurants, cafés and bars
Customers can charge at their table rather than asking staff to plug in a phone behind the bar or counter.
Gyms
Gyms and leisure facilities
Members can pick up a powerbank at reception and keep their phone charged for music, tracking and messages during their session.
Offices
Offices and workplaces
A shared charging point for staff and visitors in receptions, meeting rooms and co-working spaces, so people can keep working away from their desk without trailing cables.

07 FAQs
Questions from businesses.
Which businesses are the stations for?
We focus on hotels, hostels, restaurants, cafés and bars, gyms and offices: places where people spend time and want their phone to last. If your premises are a different type, tell us about them in your enquiry.
How does the station work?
A customer presses Start on the station, taps a contactless payment card and takes the powerbank that is released. They charge their phone while they carry on with their visit, then return the powerbank to the station when they are finished.
Do our staff need to run it?
No. Customers rent and return powerbanks themselves at the station, so your team does not handle phones, cables or payments. The station just needs to stay plugged in and easy to find.
Where should the station go?
Somewhere visible, near a power socket, that customers pass when they arrive and leave. That is usually a hotel or hostel reception, a restaurant’s entrance or bar, a gym’s front desk, or an office reception. We agree the exact spot for each site.
Which charging connections are available?
The reference powerbanks include built-in USB-C and Lightning cables and support wireless charging. We will confirm the exact connections for the hardware supplied to your business as part of your proposal.
Can the screen display our business imagery?
Yes, the station screen can display images supplied by your business. Let us know what you would like to show and we will discuss formats and how updates are handled.
What should we discuss before installation?
Useful points include where the station will sit, access to a power socket, how many locations you are considering, the imagery you would like on screen, and any site rules or approvals that apply. We will raise anything else specific to your premises during our conversation.
Can we enquire about multiple locations?
Yes. Tell us how many locations you have and the towns or cities they are in, and we will discuss the appropriate setup for each.
How do we obtain pricing?
Pricing and commercial terms depend on your requirements, so we provide them in a proposal after understanding your business. Request a proposal to start that conversation.
