Build the list before the first call
List the venues where people stay a while and use their phones: bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, gyms, hotels, and event spaces. Note who makes decisions at each one and whether you know them.
The first conversation
Venue managers ask three things first: what it costs, what staff have to do, and what the venue earns. The answers are simple. It costs $0 to host, staff only point to the station, and the venue earns commission under a hosting agreement. The venue cost page covers the details.
Placement day
The person who can sign the hosting agreement should approve the final spot. Juiceboxx installs the equipment, and the station is ready for guests the same day.
The first busy Saturday
Watch how guests find and use the station. Is it visible from where people wait? Are power banks coming back? The answers guide adjustments.
The first service call
If a station looks empty, check first whether power banks are simply out on rental or were returned elsewhere, before assuming a fault. Anything else goes straight to Juiceboxx.
What makes a market ready
A market is ready for its first station when there are several high-dwell venues close enough together that a guest could rent at one and return at another, and when someone can visit those venues regularly. Clusters matter more than city size: a few strong venues on the same strip beat scattered sites across a county.
Clusters beat scattered sites
Guests can return a power bank to any station, so several stations close together make each one more useful. A strip with a bowling alley, two bars, and a gym is a stronger start than four venues scattered across a county.
What the 25 markets mean
The 25 markets are where we are actively growing, not a map of existing stations. The network overview lists them.
