"He just does it twice as fast, and he does it perfect every time. And he never comes in sick and doesn't take a smoke break. According to company filings, Miso sees a potential $4 billion revenue opportunity with Flippy's automation tools. The emergence of Miso Robotics comes as the global restaurant automation market is expected to grow to $28 billion this year."
"The integration of Zignyl will allow restaurant operators to essentially run Flippy, as well as point-of-sales systems, labor scheduling, and payroll, through an app. Miso did not disclose the details of the deal. For all Miso's efforts, the startup has hit snags. Miso generated about $385,000 in net revenue in 2024, down from about $493,000 generated in 2023."
"An updated third-generation robot is now able to fry and portion more than 40 menu items and reduce staff interactions with the machinery by 90%. Robots are now able to make fried rice and pasta in a wok, prepare salads, and cut and core avocados used to make Chipotle's guacamole."
Miso Robotics developed Flippy, an AI-powered robot arm that automates cooking tasks like flipping burgers and frying food. Since 2017, Flippy has been deployed at major restaurant chains including White Castle, Jack in the Box, and CaliBurger Kitchen. The third-generation robot can fry and portion over 40 menu items while reducing staff interactions by 90%. Miso acquired Zignyl, an AI restaurant operations system, enabling operators to manage Flippy, point-of-sales systems, labor scheduling, and payroll through a single app. The global restaurant automation market is expanding rapidly, with robots now capable of preparing diverse menu items from fried rice to guacamole. Despite growth potential, Miso faced challenges including declining revenue and ended partnerships with some restaurant chains.
