What's up everybody? Adam Hillbending. In this video, we're going to talk about Bite Technology, a smart cooler, and how all smart coolers are not created equal. All right.
If you're thinking about getting a Bite Technology cooler, after this video, you might change your mind. I was talking to someone on a live stream yesterday and they told me about their experience with this cooler. And it's been the whole situation of where they're putting it has been a colossal failure. So, let's get into it.
What am I talking about? As everyone knows, there's a ton of different brands of smart coolers on the market. This is one of the earlier ones that uses RFID technology, but let's get into it. Bite Technology. What is it? What are we talking about here? This is their website. Bite Technology. Uh, it's basically just a cooler, right? Your same uh cooler where you pay, you authorize. The difference with them is they use RFID, which just means they use tags.
Well, let me let me let the CEO tell her tell you guys what it is. "Last, we'll stock the fridge and look at the absolutely delightful customer experience. Let's get started by logging in to the Bite dashboard. We go to Bite Technology's website, bitechnology.co. These are a few examples. I'm going to I'm going to sell this for $3.50 off life tags. The Bite team is now going to be printing these tags and they'll ship these tags that you have to pay for them to me directly on the products that we're going to sell. So, for this type of a tag, we're going to place it on these metal cans like so. You have to put a tag on every single item that you put into the cooler and that's how it tracks. And this is all I do. This is all you do. Keep in mind the new coolers have camera technology. Do not invest in a Bite Technology. This is in this is incredible. These little tags are what tell the kiosk what's in inventory and how much this product costs and how them on the shelf and we're ready to sell. I hold down the screen for a few seconds and now I'm going to enter my login information. Time to restock. All right, I'm going to lock the door again. Just shop like this."
So, there you go. You guys get the concept. If you have the cooler, okay, this cooler a year ago, $8,000 for that cooler. $8,000 for that cooler. Plus, um, again, let me know in the comments if this is wrong. I just want to get this out there before people look into this Bite Technology. Uh, because afterwards this this person regrets buying it. I mean, it's been a complete bamboozlement. I think their monthly fees are $150. Um, plus they have to buy the tags. I can't remember how much they sell the tags for. They It's just a subscription base. Plus you have to buy the tags because you can't reuse the tags cuz someone takes the product. I mean, this is definitely not the future. This was one of the first early adopters, which is where you have to stay patient and wait and see which cooler is going to come out. Who knows which one's going to be the best yet. I don't know, but we're testing them. But this this is crazy. I hope they they don't sell these anymore. I have to look and see if they're even selling these machines anymore. For $8,000, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Okay, so this person that I was talking to that bought this machine for $8,000 a year ago has it on a location. Follow me. Follow me. This is why This is why this has turned into a nightmare for this person. They have this at a location, a beauty salon, where they're paying $200 a month rent to the location. The account is doing $350 a month in sales, regular drinks and and snacks. Plus, they're paying hundred and some odd dollars for the monthly subscription to the to the Bite Technology cooler company. Plus, they're paying for a tags. I asked how long this has been going on. They said for for over a year. Okay, that is a complete right complete nightmare situation. They're getting they are the product. They're the ones getting making the money. They're not making any money on sales. They're paying rent. The cooler's making money. The location's making money, but they're not making any money. Okay. They've tried to uh sell the machine back and the company won't buy the machine. Right. Of course. So, that's that's the story.
Let me know if you have any experience with this. But, yeah, Bite Technology. I'm not sure what other what other things they're doing. What other um if they're using the RFID the RFID scanners right now the stickers that was the most recent one on Bite Technology that was a three-year-old video four-year-old videos is what they have they have one-year-old video so let me know if you have any experience with this Bite Technology but I Just had to get this video out here. All smart coolers are not created equal. Do your research.
If you want, come to, if you're seeing this video in time, I'll put the link down below. June 28th, we already have uh two coolers that are are going to be there. The haha and the um the I'm doing it on the fly. I'm doing it on the fly because this video has to go out. So, it doesn't even matter. Into that's the one into that cooler by Ember is going to be there plus haha I'm trying to get more but grab your ticket to the show in Tampa Bay live demonstration where you can get hands-on training but Bite Technology they can take a hike. Most importantly, remember until next time, keep your drinks cold and your snacks.
