What your customer does

A dead phone is an emergency, so the rental has to be faster than asking a bartender for a charger. This is the whole flow.

  1. 1

    Tap or scan

    They tap the reader with a phone or card, or scan the QR code. No app download and no account required.

  2. 2

    Take the power bank

    A charged bank unlocks and slides out, cables already attached. Nothing for your venue to hand over or keep behind the bar.

  3. 3

    Charge and carry on

    They stay at the table, on the floor, or in the crowd instead of hunting for a wall outlet — which is exactly why venues want the machine there.

  4. 4

    Return it to any station

    They push it into a free slot at any JB Charging station and billing stops on its own. Nobody has to come back to the same venue.

You set what that costs them. Pricing is per 30 minutes, hour or day from your distributor portal — most distributors run $3 per 30 minutes with a $20 maximum, and charge more where demand is higher.

The Economics

Where that $3 goes

Here is an example of how rental revenue is shared. Actual demand, operating costs, and any advertising sales vary by location.

A single $3 rental

Your 80% share is before any venue share and operating costs. JB Charging retains 20% for platform services. You purchase equipment, secure venues, install and maintain stations, and manage your route. Revenue and profitability are not guaranteed; costs may exceed income.

80%

of every rental is yours

JB Charging retains 20% for platform services. Your share is before venue payments, equipment, travel, maintenance, taxes, and other operating costs.

100%

of the ad revenue is yours

You can offer screen space to local advertisers. JB Charging does not take a share of your ad sales; you are responsible for securing advertisers and any associated costs. Sales are not guaranteed.

1st

of the month, direct deposit

Earnings land in your bank account monthly, and you can watch them accumulate in real time on the dashboard in between.

$0

in monthly fees

No subscription and no SIM bill — every machine ships with 4G connectivity included, with Wi-Fi as a backup.

What We Handle

Support for local operators

JB Charging provides platform tools and customer support. Distributors remain responsible for venue placement, installation, maintenance, venue relationships, and local operations.

Lost or damaged power bank?

Contact support and review the replacement coverage and conditions in your distributor agreement. Availability and delivery time can affect station operation.

Renter needs help at 1am?

Customers can contact JB Charging through the machine, app, or receipt. Operators may still need to resolve local station or venue issues.

Connectivity?

Built-in 4G SIM at no charge, Wi-Fi as a fallback. Plug the machine in and it comes online.

Uptime?

The management platform uses U.S.-hosted infrastructure. Connectivity and service availability vary; uninterrupted operation is not guaranteed.

FAQs

Questions about the rental itself

The things people ask once they have seen the machine.

No. They can tap the built-in card reader with Apple Pay, Google Pay or any contactless card and start a rental in seconds. The JB Charging app (iOS and Android) is there for people who want it — it maps every station on the network — but it is never required.
