Short answer: a single machine in a busy venue makes around $800 a month in gross revenue and pays for itself in about two to three months. Here is exactly how that math works — and how to push it higher.
You keep 100% of every rental your kiosk earns. No revenue split, no monthly subscription, no franchise fee — just the one-time $1,199 for the machine, including the Stripe POS.
Every BoostBarz rental is priced simply: $4 for one hour or $8 for the whole day. Most guests choose the all-day option, so the day rate is what drives the model. There is nothing to upsell and no subscription — a customer taps a card, takes a charger, and returns it.
Revenue comes down to one thing: how many rentals your location produces each month. A well-placed kiosk in a busy bar, gym, or hotel commonly does about 100 rentals a month. Here is how different traffic levels compare at the $8 day rate:
| Location traffic | Gross / month | Rentals / month |
|---|---|---|
| Quiet venue | $400 | ~50 rentals |
| Busy venue | $800 | ~100 rentals |
| High-traffic nightlife | $1,600 | ~200 rentals |
| Peak weekend venue | $2,400 | ~300 rentals |
The machine is a one-time $1,199, which includes the kiosk, stand and portable charger batteries, your live tracking dashboard and ongoing support. Taxes and shipping are not included. There is no operating fee — no revenue split, no monthly subscription and no franchise fee, so you keep everything your kiosk earns. A Stripe Reader M2 POS is included and connects to your own Stripe account and bank account for payouts available as soon as the next business day.
At roughly $800 a month in a busy location, a single machine covers its $1,199 cost in about two months. After that it is pure profit — with no operating fee taken out, every rental dollar beyond payback is yours. A quieter spot takes a little longer; a peak nightlife venue can pay back in well under two months.
The real upside is in multiple machines. Because each kiosk runs itself, operators routinely place several across different venues and manage them all from one dashboard. The economics scale almost linearly:

Figures are gross revenue estimates and depend on your location's foot traffic. Busier venues with longer dwell times — bars, nightclubs, gyms, and hotels — consistently produce the strongest returns.
