Power Up Your Venue's Revenue
Published 22 April 2025 · Updated 20 October 2026
ChargedUp installs free phone charging stations in pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels. Customers tap a card to borrow a power bank, stay longer, and your venue earns a share of every rental. Join the 3,000 UK venues already on the network (as of October 2026).
Is ChargedUp free for venues?
Yes, for the standard partnership. The station, installation, staff training, maintenance and 24/7 customer support cost the venue nothing, there is no long-term contract, and ChargedUp pays the venue a share of every customer rental. The exception is ChargedUp Unlimited, a £59 a month subscription (excluding VAT, as of October 2026) for venues that want their customers to charge for free. Choose the free station if you are a pub, bar or restaurant with steady footfall; choose Unlimited if charging is a perk you want to give away, such as in a gym, hotel or coworking space.
