Miso Robotics Launches Automated Beverage Dispenser

Miso Robotics Expands Automation into Beverage Service

Following the development of their burger-flipping robot, Miso Robotics is now targeting the automated dispensing of beverages. The company, specializing in robotics for the fast food industry, is preparing to launch a new system designed to streamline drink preparation.

Partnership with Lancer for Advanced Beverage Dispensing

This new system is the result of a collaboration between Miso Robotics and Lancer, a leading manufacturer of beverage dispensers. The integration aims to elevate the automation level of typical fast food drink fountains.

The robot features direct integration with point of sale (POS) systems. This initiates the drink preparation process, encompassing pouring, sealing, and delivery of the finished product.

Seamless Order Management

Beyond the core dispensing function, the system connects to broader sales platforms. This ensures accurate order fulfillment, catering to both in-person customers and delivery personnel.

Essentially, this represents a significantly enhanced version of the standard beverage fountain found in restaurants and cinemas.

Addressing Labor Challenges

The company notes that demand for this type of automation has risen. This increase is linked to ongoing labor shortages and the workforce disruptions experienced during the recent pandemic.

Statements from Miso Robotics

“Lancer’s reputation for quality aligns with our vision for beverage innovation and forward-thinking design,” stated Jake Brewer, Chief Strategy Officer at Miso Robotics, in a press release. “Efficient order fulfillment is crucial for customer satisfaction, and operators cannot risk beverage delays when serving customers or delivery drivers.”

Brewer continued, “We are thrilled to develop a product that will improve the working conditions in commercial kitchens and revolutionize the industry, ultimately delivering an exceptional customer experience.”

Future Funding and Growth

Miso Robotics is also announcing plans for a Series D funding round. This follows the recent completion of a $25 million Series C funding round, indicating continued investor confidence.

The company is capitalizing on current market conditions to expand its automated solutions.
