Power people can
count on.
Cardinal puts portable phone charging where people gather, so guests stay longer and never hit zero. Host it at your venue, or place stations and earn from every rental.
Live Deployments
Our Network Is Growing
Real Cardinal stations, live in bars, gyms, cafes, and venues across the region, and we're adding new locations every week.
For Venues
Why venues say yes
Adding a station is a short conversation. These are the five questions venue owners ask most, answered straight.
What does this cost me?
Nothing. The station is placed at no cost to the venue, and there is no equipment to purchase, finance, or maintain.
Who deals with it when something breaks?
Not the venue. Hardware, software, payments, and customer support are handled by Cardinal and the platform behind it.
Does my staff have to run it?
No. Guests unlock a power bank from their phone and return it themselves. Staff are never part of the transaction.
What do I actually get out of it?
A charging amenity guests ask for, a reason to stay longer, and one less dead phone cutting a visit short at the bar or table.
How much room does it take?
Countertop models need roughly the footprint of a napkin holder. Floor units tuck against a wall.
Everyone needs a charge.
Someone gets paid for it.
Cardinal distributors place portable charging stations in bars, restaurants, and venues, then earn from every rental. The model fits around the life you already have.
Keep the paycheck. Build the second one.
Charging stations run unattended. No shifts to cover and no customers to serve. You place them, the network handles the rest, and nothing about your day job has to change.
Nothing to quit/No daily hours/We run the software and support
A hustle that stops charging you by the hour.
Most side hustles pay you once and only while you are working. Every station you place keeps earning from rentals long after the install, so your income tracks your footprint instead of your free time.
Recurring rental revenue/Add locations as you go/Scale at your own pace
You already know every owner in town.
That network is the hardest part of this business, and you have it. Turn those relationships into placed stations and a revenue line that runs quietly alongside what you already operate.

The Ecosystem Layer
Turning power into foot traffic
Every charging session is a stationary, high-attention moment. That makes the screen in front of someone genuinely useful, and it gives venues a way to extend dwell time and point users toward what is nearby.
On-screen promotion
Ads and offers run directly on the charging tower screen.
In-app visibility
Reach users mid-rental, while the session is still active.
Location-aware prompts
Surface nearby venues and services at the moment they are useful.
