Seven 500ml PET pop-cans delivered weekly to yacht crews, dawn drop, single delivery, single invoice. Mixed configuration: 2 AOI + 2 DRIFT + 1 MU + 1 LAPIS + 1 JADRAN. EUR 99 per pack. The B2B engine, scaled for 8-15 person crews. Phase 2 launch candidate.

BRIDGE is the SKU that solves MA7CHA's biggest revenue lever — yacht crew daily provisioning. A 30-meter motoryacht's interior team of 8 (chef, stewardesses, deck) drinks roughly 35-50 specialty beverages per week during summer charter season. Most yachts source from whatever marina cafe is closest and pay EUR 6-7 per drink retail. The crew chef does this manually every morning. It's a logistics problem dressed as a coffee order.

BRIDGE inverts the structure: one delivery per week, one invoice, seven cans per crew member, mixed pre-configured to cover the use cases (morning AOI, afternoon DRIFT, post-shift MU, captain's LAPIS, occasional JADRAN). At EUR 99 per 7-can pack against a EUR 14 per-drink retail equivalent (~EUR 98), the crew gets effectively 7-for-7 with zero marginal pricing — but they save the daily marina runs, the chef saves 30 minutes a day, the principal saves a line-item on the operating budget. We win on logistics consolidation and on locking the yacht in for the full charter season.

Why archived as concept: the unit economics work, but the operational requirements are non-trivial — 04:30 prep, 06:00 dock-side delivery, dedicated marina cooler bag, single point-of-contact crew chef, weekly invoice via Mollie. We need to validate this with three early-adopter yachts in summer 2026 (Restaurant One's chef has connections to two captains we are pre-pitching) before scaling. Tier ladder: BRIDGE-S (3-can pack, EUR 55, 1-2 person crew), BRIDGE-M (7-can pack, EUR 99, standard 8-person crew interior), BRIDGE-L (15-can pack, EUR 180, full deck + interior 14-person crew). DAILY7 sub-brand August 2026 may absorb BRIDGE if it tests well.

science

The compounds. The mechanism. The dose-response.

mechanism

BRIDGE delivers MA7CHA's full functional profile across a 7-day window — L-theanine and matcha caffeine from 6 of 7 cans, lion's mane cumulative dose ~1100mg per week (within the 2g maintenance zone studied for cognitive support), KSM-66 single-dose ashwagandha for the captain's KOAN day, ALCAR/CDP-choline cognitive substrate. The pack is designed for daily-drinker maintenance pharmacology rather than acute clinical loading. A crew working 14-hour charter days needs the relaxed-alertness profile, not the activation profile — BRIDGE leans toward AOI weighting deliberately.

dose-response rationale

Pack composition can be adjusted per crew chef request — some yachts want 4 AOI / 0 KOAN, some want 2 KOAN for pre-charter prep. We hold 6 fixed configurations across BRIDGE-S/M/L; custom packs are billed at +15%.

persona moments

Who orders this. When. Why.

Sunday 18:00
Crew chef onboarding

Forty, French chef on a 38m motoryacht, six summers in the Med, two in Boka. Spent three years building a wine-and-coffee program from scratch. MA7CHA's BRIDGE rep meets him on Sunday at Porto Montenegro, walks the format. He signs for BRIDGE-M for the season — 8 crew, one invoice, no daily marina runs, charter window May 15 to October 15.

Tuesday 05:30
Captain's pre-charter prep

Forty-six, captain of a private 65m, Australian. Charter starts Wednesday. Needs the crew sharp. BRIDGE-L delivered Tuesday at 05:30, one KOAN reserved for him, the rest distributed by the chef. Tuesday is the only day he drinks KOAN. He gets the cognitive ramp through Wednesday's dock-out at 09:00.

Thursday 14:00
Stewardess third week of charter

Twenty-six, South African stew, exhausted, charter has been heavy. Pulls a DRIFT from the crew fridge during the 14:00 turnover. Salt, citrus, caffeine, hydration. She didn't have to walk the marina to find it. Three minutes later she is back on deck. BRIDGE solved a logistics problem she didn't know she had.

origin

Where it comes from.

matcha terroirInherits Wako and Hojicha sourcing from individual SKUs — no separate supply chain.

adriatic elementsBRIDGE's distinctive element is the dawn delivery logistics — Porto Montenegro and Lustica Bay marinas only, 06:00-06:30 window, branded insulated cooler bag returned at next week's drop. The bag is sourced from a Croatian sailmaker repurposing offcuts. Single courier (Artiem's network) on a marina-permitted scooter.
