Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Byte Bar?
Byte Bar is a self-serve, AI-powered mini-market system for apartment buildings, large offices, and short-term rentals—ranging from a single smart cooler/freezer to a full open-shelf market with multiple coolers and freezers. Guests tap to enter, shop naturally, and walk out; our AI (cameras + shelf-weight sensors) recognizes items and charges automatically. We install, stock, and maintain everything—no on-site staff or daily work required.
Where can Byte Bar be installed?
Byte Bar is designed for apartment buildings, offices, and Airbnb rentals - anywhere people live, work, or stay. We custom-fit the setup to your space and handle everything end-to-end.
What does my property or office need to provide?
Just a power outlet and a small, visible space — like a lobby, kitchen area, mailroom corner, or breakroom. We handle delivery, setup, stocking, and ongoing management.
Is there any cost or contract?
There’s no upfront cost and no long-term commitment for qualifying locations. Byte Bar installs, monitors, and maintains the entire system — you simply offer the space.
How do people pay for items?
Customers swipe their card or phone to unlock the fridge, take what they need, and walk away. Byte Bar uses smart cameras to detect what was removed and charges automatically.
Who restocks the coolers/freezers and maintains the mini market?
We do. Byte Bar tracks inventory in real time and sends a team to restock as needed. We also provide remote support and maintenance through our connected system. For Airbnb properties, restocking service is currently available in Palm Beach County, Florida only.
How long does setup take for smart coolers/freezers?
Once the space is approved, we can have your Byte Bar up and running within 7 - 10 business days.
How long does setup take for the AI-managed mini market?
The mini market is currently waitlisted. Typical lead time is about 3 - 4 months from approval (design, hardware allocation, install, and AI calibration).
Do you offer stocking or maintenance services for Airbnb units?
We sell the Byte Bar smart cooler and freezer as a standalone product for Airbnb and short-term rentals. Hosts handle their own stocking and restocking. No ongoing service is required.
Can I get stocking service for my Airbnb location?
Currently, we only offer stocking and support services for Airbnb properties located within Palm Beach County, Florida. All other locations are product-only and you would be in charge of stocking.
