TendedBar has entered production on its new Countertop Unit, an automated beverage dispensing system designed for space-constrained hospitality environments. The company has selected Slabb Kiosks, which is owned by 365 Retail Markets, as its long-term manufacturing partner to ensure scalable, durable hardware production.

TendedBar's Countertop Unit is intended to serve a range of beverage categories — from dirty sodas, refreshers, and iced coffee to energy drinks and boba tea. This versatility, combined with the compact format, contributes to the company's claims that its automated beverage dispensing system increases service speed, maintains consistency, and expands menu options without requiring significant counter space or complex installation.

Brittany Westerman, Chief Operations Officer with 365 Retail Markets, notes about the collaboration: "This partnership reflects 365 Retail Market's belief that the most impactful solutions are purpose-built, not one-size-fits-all."
