About
TendedBar manufactures automated beverage dispensing systems that deliver perfectly mixed cocktails, beer, wine, Boba teas, refresher beverages, and Dirty Sodas through patented automation ensuring precise portions, perfect flavor balance, and repeatable quality with every pour. The company's Tended Tech platform features a user-friendly digital touch-screen interface that guides users through selecting a drink type, choosing a beverage from a curated menu, customizing with splashes or doubles, and pouring in seconds. TendedBar offers multiple hardware configurations including a countertop unit, dual-screen vending unit, four-screen high-volume venue unit, and four-station mobile application, with professional design teams customizing each unit for the specific venue. The system serves high-volume stadiums, arenas, bars, restaurants, hotels, resorts, casinos, QSR locations, airports, convention centers, and entertainment venues. A single four-screen unit increases an area to four points of sale where only one previously existed, reducing staffing needs by up to 400% while addressing labor and accessibility challenges. The platform provides data-driven insights by analyzing consumer behavior to curate offerings that match desires, anticipate trends, optimize inventory, and personalize experiences. TendedBar supports both self-service and crew-serve operations, with customized and curated menus spanning cocktails, wine, beer, liquors, energy drinks, refreshers, Dirty Sodas, iced coffees, iced teas, and specialty drinks. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, with offices in Jacksonville, Florida, TendedBar has raised $9.5M in Series A funding from investors including Base Capital Partners, Platform Ventures, Ben Jen Holdings, Platform Capital Management, and Patient Ventures. The team comprises 10 employees.
