The Why
How kava economics differ
Most businesses chase new customers. Kava bars thrive by serving their regulars, anchoring revenue in habits and belonging.
Regulars drive revenue
Most spend comes from daily or weekly visitors, not walk-ins.
Routines repeat
Morning calm, after-work unwind, late-night chill. Frequency beats ticket size.
Community is the product
Events and familiar Kavatenders turn the bar into a second home.
Identity and belonging
Regulars tie part of who they are to their home kava bar.
