How it works
Sign up in 60 seconds
A quick form: just your venue name, address and email.
We verify your venue
Our team reviews the details, usually within 24 hours.
Customers find you
Your venue goes live on the map, in the iOS and Android apps and on our website. People nearby see you, get directions and walk in.
Nothing to install. Nothing to pay. You can remove your venue anytime.
What your venue gains
New customers who walk in on their own
Someone nearby opens the app, sees your venue and comes in for water. Often it is a visitor or a tourist who does not know the area and picks the closest welcoming place. You did nothing to bring them in, and there they are, in your venue.
A first visit that keeps paying off
Even when a guest only fills a bottle and leaves, the visit does its work. They now know where you are, what you serve and how you made them feel. Visitors return, and the ones who cannot will often recommend you to friends or leave a kind word online. A glass of water is one of the cheapest ways to stay in people's memory.
People choose places that care for the planet
More and more people, especially younger and travelling customers, choose where to spend based on how a place treats the environment. Being a verified refill point shows plainly that yours is one of the venues that act. The official partner badge, in your window, on your site and on social media, makes that visible before anyone even walks in.
Visibility at the exact moment of thirst
Your venue appears on the map right when someone nearby is thirsty and choosing where to go. Reaching a customer at that precise moment is one of the hardest things in marketing, and here it costs you nothing.
You might be wondering...
"What's the catch?"
There isn't one. BottleChallenge is run by a non-profit foundation. We don't charge venues, we don't take a cut, and we don't sell your data.
"Do I need to install anything?"
No hardware, no subscriptions, no tablets. We send you a free NFC tag and a door sticker. After refilling, customers simply hold their phone to the tag to collect EcoDrops rewards, which gives them a concrete reason to choose your venue over the one next door. Setting it up takes ten seconds.
"Will people just come in for water?"
They might, and that is a good thing. Customers who come in for a free service tend to spend a little on something else while they are there. A glass of water costs you almost nothing, while a new regular, or a recommendation to their friends, is worth far more.
"What if it doesn't work for me?"
Remove your venue anytime, in one click. No cancellation process, no emails back and forth, no awkward calls.
The caf茅s and restaurants around you are already on the map. Don't let them get all the thirsty customers.
Registration takes 60 seconds, it is free, and you can leave anytime.
