Start with the power you already have
Look at your floor plan first. If the booths along the wall have working outlets and guests sit through a full meal, that may cover most requests.
A station makes the most sense where outlets do not reach the seats, where guests move from the bar to a table, or where you would rather not have cords running across walkways.
Charging that goes to the table
A guest with a dying phone scans the station in the Juiceboxx app, takes a power bank, and carries it back to the table. The phone keeps working for the menu, the check, and the ride home.
Nobody asks the host to keep a phone behind the stand, and nobody leaves the table to stand at an outlet. The rental steps show exactly what the guest does.
Place it near the host stand, not on it
Guests should see the station as they arrive or wait for a table, but it should not crowd the host stand or the waiting area. Near the entrance or the bar usually works well.
We look at traffic flow during your busy hours and recommend the spot during the placement visit.
Be clear it is a paid rental
Rentals cost $2 for each 30 minutes, capped at $12 per 24-hour day, and the charge runs through the app, separate from the guest's check. Your staff never take payment for it.
A quick line from the host helps: "There's a charging station by the door. It's a small rental in the app."
Keep servers out of returns
Guests return power banks to any Juiceboxx station, not to a server. A power bank left with the receipt has not been returned, so point guests to the station on their way out.
Hosting is free, and your restaurant earns commission under a location-specific agreement. The venue guide covers how placement decisions are made.
