Refresh Me Network is a next-generation urban hydration utility — intelligent, climate-resistant beverage stations providing fast, contactless access to cold drinks in high-temperature cities across Africa and the Middle East.
Modern cities are growing fast and getting hotter. Yet public hydration infrastructure has barely changed in decades. People are left to fend for themselves.
Finding a cold beverage in a public park or beach means abandoning your activity and walking 15–30 minutes to the nearest supermarket or mall.
In cities where outdoor temperatures regularly exceed 45°C, the absence of accessible cold hydration is not just inconvenient — it is a public health risk.
Parks, transit hubs, beaches, and sports facilities are used less and for shorter periods because basic amenities like cold beverages are simply not available.
"The problem wasn't a lack of beverages. The problem was accessibility. That observation became the foundation of Refresh Me Network."— Simon Kioi, Founder & CEO
Refresh Me Station is a compact, premium smart hydration unit engineered specifically for public urban environments. It is not a vending machine — it is a new category of public infrastructure, placing cold beverages exactly where people already are.
The Refresh Me customer journey is designed to be as fast and frictionless as possible. No app downloads, no membership, no waiting.
Select your drink on the interactive touchscreen and complete payment instantly using card, mobile money, QR, or another supported contactless option.
Secure payment is processed instantly with real-time verification. Once payment is confirmed, the station prepares the selected drink for collection.
The automated collection hatch opens and presents your cold drink, ready for collection without a queue or a trip to another shop.
Grab your drink and carry on with your day — refreshed and without the interruption of a long detour to find a cold beverage.
Each Refresh Me Station is a fully self-contained smart unit engineered for continuous outdoor operation with zero manual intervention needed.
Full-colour interactive interface showing beverage selection, live outdoor temperature, and digital advertising.
Accepts Visa, Mastercard, mobile money, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local QR payment systems.
Smart sensors track inventory levels, temperature, power status, and sales data — streamed live to the management dashboard.
High-efficiency cooling system maintaining optimal beverage temperature in outdoor heat up to 50°C without degradation.
Operators receive real-time alerts for maintenance needs, low inventory, and technical issues — before they affect the customer.
A centralised SaaS dashboard to manage your entire fleet of stations — inventory, revenue, maintenance, and analytics.
Each Refresh Me Station generates revenue across three distinct streams simultaneously, maximising return on every deployed unit.
Direct consumer sales of cold water, soft drinks, juices, and energy drinks. High-margin, repeat-purchase products with no middleman between the station and the consumer.
The integrated HD display serves targeted digital advertisements to high-footfall audiences in parks, transit hubs, and commercial districts — generating passive ad revenue per impression.
Host venues — municipalities, real estate developers, transit authorities — receive a competitive revenue share from station sales in exchange for premium location access.
Refresh Me Network sits at the intersection of urban infrastructure, smart technology, and fast-moving consumer goods — three of the highest-growth sectors across Africa and the Middle East.
