About Cafe X - Robotic Coffee Bar
Featuring a state of the art robotic arm at the core, Cafe X’s Robotic Coffee Bar is the fastest, most advanced fully automated cafe system. Proven at the company’s self-operated locations at SFO and SJC airports, Robotic Coffee Bar has the ability to generate 2-3x the revenue of other automated food and beverage vending solutions with its unique blend of high-end design, premium beverage quality, high-speed performance, and entertaining experience. The machines have been tested by over 250k people in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2017 and Cafe X is backed by Silicon Valley's top venture capital firms.
The Robotic Coffee Bar can generate up to $300,000 in annual revenue with an EBITDA margin of up to 60%. It’s been designed for unattended, autonomous operation and only requires an hour of labor per day for cleaning and restocking. Customers place orders from on-site, modular self service kiosks or from the Cafe X mobile app. Operators can use the Cafe X developed branding and menu, or choose to white label the machine and software with their own branding.
Why Choose Cafe X - Robotic Coffee Bar?
Cafe X’s Robotic Coffee Bar is a next generation vending machine that gives you the opportunity to provide your customers with high-end specialty coffee experience and generate coffee shop level revenue in less than half the space normally required for a traditional cafe and as low as one hour of labor per day. We’re solving the two biggest challenges with operating a specialty coffee business; real estate and labor. At just 40 square feet, Robotic Coffee Bars can be installed where a cafe cannot be. The entire machine can also be easily relocated. With a high speed robot and intelligent automation software, Robotic Coffee Bar operates completely autonomously and only requires a one hour daily cleaning and restocking process.
