Chicago, IL – May 18, 2025 — At the heart of this year’s National Restaurant Association Show, two hospitality innovators unveiled a new alliance set to redefine the guest experience across the dining industry.
Chubby Group, a trailblazer in Wagyu-centric restaurant concepts, has entered into a nationwide strategic partnership with ChargerGoGo, the nation’s leading provider of shared mobile charging stations. Together, they’re bringing convenience-driven technology directly to the table, transforming how modern diners stay connected, engaged, and delighted.
Under this partnership, ChargerGoGo’s smart charging stations will roll out across all Chubby Group venues, including Chubby Cattle BBQ, Chubby Cattle Shabu, NIKU X, The X Pot, Wagyu House, Chubby Skewers, and more. Diners can now rent portable phone chargers without leaving their seats, solving a ubiquitous customer frustration and unlocking a new level of guest satisfaction.
But the integration doesn’t stop at power.
Through the ChargerGoGo app, Chubby Group will now deliver exclusive digital offers, promotions, and loyalty rewards directly to charging guests. This marketing channel empowers Chubby Group to drive real-time foot traffic, promote time-sensitive specials, and enhance customer loyalty—all while increasing dwell time and boosting average check sizes.
“Our restaurants are built on energy and connection, and this partnership brings both—literally,” said David Zhao, Co-Founder of Chubby Group. “By integrating ChargerGoGo, we’re not just solving a common guest pain point—we’re elevating the entire dining experience while connecting with our customers in new, dynamic ways.”
ChargerGoGo stations also include digital advertising screens, enabling Chubby Group to activate a new monetization stream while engaging its tech-savvy guests. With zero upfront cost and a generous revenue-sharing model, this partnership exemplifies what forward-thinking, guest-centric innovation looks like in action.
“We’re thrilled to partner with a visionary group like Chubby Group that understands the power of merging smart tech with top-tier hospitality,” said June Zhu, CEO of ChargerGoGo. “This is just the beginning. We invite bar and restaurant groups across the country to join us in transforming the guest experience—one charge at a time.”
As hospitality evolves to meet the expectations of today’s connected customer, this partnership sets a new benchmark for what’s possible when convenience, creativity, and cutting-edge technology converge.
