TendedBar, a provider of automated beverage dispensing systems for high-traffic venues, has selected Slabb Kiosks as its long-term manufacturing partner, according to a press release. The agreement supports the production of TendedBar’s new Countertop Unit and future hardware development as the company expands its footprint across stadiums, hospitality venues, and other high-volume environments, including deployments such as the University of Texas’ DKR Stadium.
The Countertop Unit is designed as a compact system that enables faster service, consistent beverage quality, and greater menu flexibility while maintaining operational control. The smaller footprint allows operators to deploy automated beverage solutions in space-constrained settings, broadening potential use cases beyond large venues to restaurants, hotels, and transportation hubs.
Company executives said the partnership will help TendedBar scale production while maintaining durability and design standards. CEO Justin Honeysuckle said the new unit supports expansion into categories such as iced coffee, energy drinks, and specialty beverages, while Slabb Kiosks provides the manufacturing expertise needed for reliable, large-scale deployment.
The Countertop Unit is expected to launch in early 2026, with TendedBar positioning the product as part of a broader push into automated beverage service across multiple formats.
