Straight answers on the pod, the price, BOS (Business Operating System) and how a stand is run — in the same words this site uses on every other page.

Questions

The questions buyers ask first.

The pod and its buildout, who staffs the stand, what BOS does and what everything costs.

Do I need to construct anything?

No. PODULAR's patented pod is built off-site — fully plumbed, wired, and ready to serve the day it arrives. The buildout is modular and part of the package: no construction, no downtime.

Who staffs the stand?

Stands are attended — staffed by real people. You buy the pod and subscribe to BOS (Business Operating System), and you run your own food brand out of it, served by real people: your own staff. The stand is automation-ready — integrated automation is coming soon.

What can I sell from a pod — what formats does it come in?

One pod, three formats: the same PODULAR pod configures as a micro-retail store, an information stand, or a bar that needs only power — no water connection required. The build-out inside is modular, so we plan the equipment around what you serve.

What cooking equipment goes in a hot-food pod?

That is a layout we plan with you. The equipment layouts on this site are example build-outs to plan around, not fixed lists — tell us your concept and we'll lay out the exact equipment with you. A hot-food stand is fitted with electric or induction stove-top burners — no fryers and no ovens.

How much is the pod?

The PODULAR Pod — Starter Model is $45,000, a one-time purchase. Your branding — inlaid or decal — and the modular buildout are included, so your brand launches without construction downtime. The electrical-only build — a packaged-drinks bar, micro-retail, or information stand that needs power only — starts at $30,000. Dome and robot options are sold separately, price on call.

Is BOS included with the pod?

Your first year of BOS — the software that runs your stand — is included with every pod purchase.

Can I use BOS without a pod?

Yes. BOS also works on its own: subscribe without a pod and add one whenever you're ready. No pod needed — keep your counters and run BOS on the build-out you already have.

What does BOS cost?

BOS Starter is $49/month introductory, limited to the first 100 subscribers — $49/month for your first year, then $99/month. Your card is not charged for the first two weeks of the 14-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime. Growth is $199/month, for food businesses running more than one location or a heavier operation. Venue is custom pricing: hotels, airports and institutions running several stands tell us about the venue and we quote it by email.

What is BOS, exactly?

Point of sale takes payments. BOS runs the business. BOS is your business operating system — let the software do the heavy lifting in your daily tasks: orders, menu, team, stock, forecast, one login. Card payments built in — take the payment where the order is taken. One dashboard for all your locations.

Can I try BOS before buying?

Yes — two ways. Place a practice order in the live BOS demo: a name and an email open it, and nothing is charged in the demo. Or start the 14-day free trial: your card is not charged for the first two weeks, and you can cancel anytime.

Where can a pod go?

Hotels, airports, retail and institutions are where the pod already works. The pod is delivered and positioned for the space — interior venues and upper floors included — with no build-out on site. Venue pricing is custom: tell us about your venue and we'll quote it by email.

Is the design protected?

Yes. The pod and its UD Wall are covered by granted patents — PODULAR is the only place a stand like this comes from. Your branding is inlaid or decal, the interior is a modular buildout, and utilities run inside the patented UD Wall.
