Airbnb Minibar Alternative:
The Self-Service Shop that goes further

Yes, and Jalunia goes well beyond a traditional minibar. Unlike a classic minibar limited to drinks, Jalunia lets you sell any type of product: local products, gourmet baskets, snacks, beach items, experiences... Guests pay from their phone before collecting their purchase, and there is nothing for you to check between stays.

A hotel minibar runs on trust: the guest helps themselves, and you bill afterwards (often with missed charges). Jalunia works the other way around: the guest orders and pays from their phone, then collects their purchase with the code they received. The result: no unpaid consumption, no manual checks, and a complete history of your sales.

Absolutely. That is one of its main advantages. Your guests scan a QR code, pay online, and access the product. You can go on vacation, delegate restocking to your housekeeper, and your shop stays available to guests without you being on site.

Unlike a classic minibar, Jalunia is not limited to drinks. You can sell: local specialties, gourmet baskets, snacks, beach items (sunscreen, towels), forgotten toiletries, local souvenirs, experiences (tastings, tours)... For alcoholic drinks, read our dedicated guide: French rules are strict and the responsibility is yours.

The guest scans a QR code displayed in your rental, selects the products they want, and pays directly by card. Once the payment is confirmed, they receive a code to access the product. The money goes straight to your SumUp account.

A traditional minibar requires a significant investment (dedicated fridge, billing system, manual management). Jalunia offers a software subscription starting at €9.99/month (Starter plan), with no setup fees. To add a premium locker cabinet, expect to pay from €899.

It is possible under conditions, and the responsibility is yours: the small takeaway license (petite licence à emporter) declared at the town hall, no sales to minors, mandatory notices. French law also prohibits dispensing alcohol through a vending machine: handing over the product must remain under your control. Jalunia does not provide a license and does not verify the buyer's age. Our dedicated guide details the steps.

Jalunia has no long-term commitment: you can cancel anytime from your dashboard. You can start with a limited product selection in a single property, then expand based on demand. The Starter plan at €9.99/month lets you test the concept at minimal cost.
