“Next generation fan experiences + Prime Brands”

Palo Alto, Aug 31, 2022 — Harmony Protocol (Harmony/ONE) announced today a strategic partnership with Kitchen Data Systems(KitchData/KDS) to establish a groundbreaking brand affinity program utilizing Harmony native technologies. The program is designed to enable KitchData’s growing roster of themed kitchens and celebrity brands operating in the United States.

“Tying together Delivery-1st restaurants with digital media technology is the next logical step for KitchData,” said KDS CEO Mike Jacobs. “Our popular brands are already stars on media outlets, have legions of followers, sell merchandise, and participate in real-world events with their fans. Adding food via KitchData made sense for them, and now we’re bringing yet another revenue stream in this program with Harmony.”

“Key KitchData Delivery-1st brands invited to participate include
— WWE legend Ric Flair’s Wooooo! Wings,
DaMandyz Donutz by Daria Berenato and Amanda Saccomanno — also known as WWE Superstars Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.
— Powerbomb Pizza, and Dancing Pizza, the latter’s menu comprised of award-winning dance stars adored by international audiences of stage and screen.“

KitchData Brands Delivery-1st kitchens operate in over 50% of the United States.

Powerbomb Pizza will be instantly recognizable by millions of faithful fans of professional wrestling as the roster of talent available is achieved through the cooperation of Pro Wrestling Tees, the world’s largest merchandiser for independent wrestlers.

“Our team couldn’t be more excited,” added Jacobs. “With Harmony, we’re integrating the real world of retail and merchandise, historical levers like coupons, innumerable forms of creative digital content, and fan interactivity with two crypto transactions. That’s wonderful but not amazing — Covid might have accelerated it, but data always was expected to drive the future for brands and restaurants. ‘Data’ sits at the center of our name — Kitchen Data Systems — for a reason. Data rules the future.”

Harmony partnering with KitchData allows the expression of brand identity to a new generation of delivery-1st users. The possibilities for the respective brands to meaningfully engage in loyalty programs, community engagement, and exclusive rewards/experiences are only possible with KitchData brands. The only limit is the creativity of the brands, and professional wrestling has long been a pioneer in telling stories that resonate with millions weekly around the world. Harmony is excited and looks forward to partnering with new brands as they come online through the KitchData network over the coming year.
