What your venue gets

Extra foot traffic, for free

People come in for water. They see your menu, smell your coffee, and stay for more. It's the easiest customer acquisition you'll ever do.

A trusted sustainability badge

Show customers you care with the official BottleChallenge verified partner badge. Use it in-store, on your website, and on social media.

Visibility where it matters

Your venue appears in the BottleChallenge app (iOS & Android) and on our website, right when someone nearby is thirsty and looking for a place to go.

You might be wondering...

“What's the catch?”

There isn't one. BottleChallenge is run by a nonprofit foundation. We don't charge venues. We don't take a cut. We don't sell your data.

“Do I need to install anything?”

No hardware, no subscriptions, no tablets. We'll send you a free QR code sticker to put in your window. Customers scan it to collect EcoDrops rewards, which is actually a good thing: it gives them a concrete reason to choose your venue over the one next door. The QR sticker is free and takes 10 seconds to put up.

“Will random people just come in demanding water?”

They might, and that's actually a good thing. Research shows that customers who enter for a free service spend an average of €4–7 on something else. A glass of water costs you almost nothing. A new regular is priceless.

“What if it doesn't work for me?”

Remove your venue anytime. One click. No cancellation process, no emails back and forth, no awkward calls.

Your neighbours are already on the map.
Don't let them get all the thirsty customers.

Registration takes 60 seconds. It's free. And you can leave anytime.
