Hi there, I love this concept. Could you provide more information about the durability of the bottles? Specifically, construction, how they hold up cosmetically after repeated use, how long bottles typically stay in circulation, and what condition they were in at the end of yo...

Hi Kelsey, great questions! Re: Bottle Durability Kadeya bottles are constructed from durable stainless steel with a matte finish to minimize visible wear and tear. Because they’re used, returned, and sanitized in under two hours—rather than carried around all day—they experience significantly less cosmetic degradation than typical personal reusable bottles. Each bottle is designed for long-term circulation and tracked to ensure quality. In our pilot programs, bottles achieved a 99%+ return r...

Good stuff. I see your orders for 27 stations, that is amazing along with the revenue per station. Do you see you guys doing anything with nude food market? I can see something there. How much does it cost to make each station? Can you only make 1 station at a time? Where you ...

Hi John, Our initial go to market strategy is focused on workplaces (mostly industrial, manufacturing, fulfillment, and construction), but in the future when we expand to more retail and public facing environments, Nude Food Market is a great example that shares a lot of our same values. Theme parks are definitely on our radar for the future too. Currently each initial station costs $60k, with a plan to decrease to $26k. We plan on scaling progressively to 2 stations per week in 2026, and the...

Hi James, The Kadeya station dispenses not just water but flavored and branded drinks you already know & love - think coke, pepsi, dr. pepper, gatorade, snapple etc. Anything you'd typically see in a soda fountain can be carried in a Kadeya station. Gatorade is definitely a popular product for our manufacturing & construction customers & something we will be carrying in the stations. Our forecasted # of stations and revenue is available to view on our overview page if you scroll d...

50k investment, courtside to watch the Chicago sky. Why are you trying to punishing people? Is there anything else instead? Where you get the product made what is their capacity? You have 44 machine with 27 of those being sold cause of pre orders lets say you sell 20 more, how...

Hey John, In terms of the investor perks, happy to discuss an alternative if you would not be interested in a Chicago Sky game, although we find the games quite fun & good bonding! Plus the real reward is joining Kadeya as an investor and sharing in our journey and the upside of building the future of beverage. :) With the recent tariff changes, our first stations will now be built with our engineering team in Europe (our team is already hard at work on the first stations being deployed i...

Hi Kadeya, really appreciated your first video and sharing the journey that sparked the idea. Love the co-creation perspective that you have embraced and excited to see what the next year holds for you. Excellent chosen target market. Obviously will learn more about usage rate...

Hi Stu, thanks so much for showing interest in the future of beverage we're building at Kadeya and for sharing our enthusiasm for our target market. Basic maintenance (restocking bag-in-box, pressing a button for automated weekly cleaning) is performed by customer employees, with more advanced issues handled by Food and Beverage Service (FBS) partners. Kadeya's service team will address more complex problems or repairs. Long term we will partner with service partners & are already plann...
