The installation is also part of Richtech Robotics' new commercial management venture, AlphaMax Management, LLC ("AlphaMax Management"), which was formed to optimize the integration of the Company’s robots into clients’ businesses. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Richtech Robotics, AlphaMax Management will be responsible for the entire commercial workflow of One Kitchen restaurants within Walmart, to better integrate the operation of robots with traditional restaurant operations, and to provide overall restaurant data analysis, digital marketing, and the integration of artificial intelligence applications.

"We continue to reach new milestones, this time celebrating the first humanoid drink robot in the state of Illinois and also officially launching AlphaMax Management. Our new subsidiary is expected to generate a new revenue stream and also stable cash flow and profit. We look forward to its continued growth," said Matt Casella, President at Richtech Robotics.

Equipped with cutting-edge AI technology, ADAM commenced operations at the Rockford One Kitchen on August 16th, 2024, serving a variety of coffee and boba drinks to customers. The robot is expected to serve 100-200 cups of coffee and tea per day.

Richtech Robotics will handle the programming, maintenance, and repair of the ADAM systems, while One Kitchen will manage staff, location logistics, and leasing. ADAM will operate through a fully integrated touchscreen point-of-sale system for ordering and payments, offering customized beverages on demand and engaging customers with its intelligent conversation AI.

"ADAM's introduction to the beverage industry addresses several key challenges, including the need for consistency, efficiency, and a memorable customer experience. By automating drink preparation, ADAM is intended to allow human staff to focus on creating meaningful connections with guests, thereby elevating the overall customer experience," said Matt Casella, President of Richtech Robotics.

"The engagement with Ghost Kitchens provides important momentum as we continue to execute on our business plan and provide value for stockholders. We expect ADAM to significantly improve operational capabilities at Ghost Kitchens' Walmart locations," added Mr. Casella.

George Kottas, CEO of Ghost Kitchens International, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "This is a momentous opportunity to work with an emerging leader in robotics. We anticipate this union will improve the customer experience, driving further awareness and success on both sides."

"At Richtech Robotics, we’re passionate about pioneering solutions to mitigate workplace inefficiencies and build systems that address relevant industry concerns. With a track record of success across the hospitality and service sectors, adapting our products to enhance conditions for the healthcare workforce and infrastructure was a natural progression for us. Finding a way to offload routine daily tasks for healthcare workers has been a pain point for many years, and we’re excited to launch an innovative solution to help hospitals gain a competitive edge," said Matt Casella, President of Richtech Robotics.

"Amid rising operating expenses and a surge in patient numbers across the country, Medbot strives to empower healthcare facilities with superior care, despite staffing shortages. Our Medbot integration method is the only one on the market that has been proven to consistently work," said Casella.
