It is capable of producing 8 drinks in less than a minute using 22 discreet ingredients. It also complies with the complex alcohol handling regulations in 50 states. Currently, no other automated bar tending solution does.The Mixbot pro is monetized as RaaS (robot as a service). The monthly price is $1,800.00 and includes an analytics package featuring ML and AI to both help establishment owners control their inventory spend carefully and maintain the machine in peak condition. The Mixibot Pro is fully refrigerated and features proprietary self cleaning and sanitizing routines which do not waste product, comply with the regulatory environment surrounding alcohol and it does so transparently and efficiently. It is safe, self contained and extremely efficient.The Mixibot Pro is intended to be a "power tool" for expert mixologist. It features analog control tools to help intuitively build new recipes which can be stored and shared in the case of chains. Coupled with the astounding sub .4ml accuracy of the robot, a degree of quality and consistency in the creation of craft cocktails can be achieved.The Mixibot pro also eliminates costly overpours. In an Ohio audit, overpours were found on average to account for 22% of a typical bars inventory consumption. With tools to foster creativity, and technology to provide accurate dispensing, the product improves and the waste is eliminated helping to drive profits to unseen levels. It also allows experienced, high level mixologists to offer their creations at times when they may be unavailable and less experienced staff is operating the bar. The Mixibot Pro has seamless POS integration with all systems heavily utilized in the bar and restaurant industry. This allows for streamlined order production and tracking.
