How it works
A guest rents in under a minute — then keeps moving.
No wall outlet. No charger behind the bar. No staff member handling cables.
- 01
Scan or Tap
A guest starts a rental using the available QR, card, or mobile-wallet payment method.
- 02
Rent a Power Bank
A portable charger is released from the station.
- 03
Charge While Moving
The guest can continue using their phone without remaining next to a wall outlet.
- 04
Return the Power Bank
The guest returns it to a compatible participating station.
Southern Spark is developing a network in which a guest can rent at one participating location and return at another. This is the planned network experience — a live network is not in place today.
Why hospitality venues
Built around how guests actually use their phones.
- Guests rely on phones for photos, rideshares, reservations, maps, payments, and communication.
- Convenient charging can improve the guest experience.
- Portable charging allows guests to keep their phones with them.
- Southern Spark manages the customer-facing rental process.
Southern Spark does not guarantee longer dwell time, increased sales, higher guest spend, or any specific revenue result.
Two revenue paths
Charging rentals plus screen advertising.
The station creates two distinct commercial opportunities from one compact footprint.

Hypothetical screen-advertising income
| Placement | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| 1 advertiser | $75 / month | $900 / year |
| 2 advertisers | $150 / month | $1,800 / year |
| 3 advertisers | $225 / month | $2,700 / year |
Assumes a hypothetical $75 / month per advertiser placement
Hypothetical illustration only, using a $75 monthly placement within the source planning range of $50–$100 per month per station screen rotation. Figures are gross station-level advertising revenue before any allocation. Advertising is separate from charging-rental revenue; availability, approval, pricing, revenue allocation, and terms are agreed separately, and income is not guaranteed.
Illustrative monthly venue share
| Rentals | Per month | Venue earns |
|---|---|---|
| 5 rentals / day | 150 / month | about $304 |
| 10 rentals / day | 300 / month | about $608 |
| 20 rentals / day | 600 / month | about $1,215 |
Illustrative only. Based on the source planning assumption of a $6.75 average pre-tax rental ticket, a 30% venue share (about $2.03 per rental), and a 30-day month. Actual rental activity, pricing, and revenue are not guaranteed. The precise revenue definition, payment schedule, deductions, and contractual terms are established in the executed venue agreement.

See it in action
A full rental takes seconds, and the station speaks for itself.
Short clips of the station hardware being used, so you can judge the footprint, the guest experience, and the screen at a glance.
Rent and return in one flow
A guest taps the screen, takes a charged power bank, and returns it to the same station. Staff involvement is not required.
Slot release, up close
The charger releases from the slot on demand. The base sits flat against the floor and needs only an ordinary power outlet nearby.
Clips show representative station hardware. Screen content shown is illustrative and not a Southern Spark advertising placement.
