Flippy's Cooked Over 3M Baskets for Top Brands

You can already find our robotics in fast-food restaurants across the U.S. and the world. Flippy's already fried over 3,000,000 baskets for some of the world’s biggest fast food brands.

Watch Our Interview with Jon Najarian

Jon Najarian isn't just a Wall Street legend; he's also an investor in Miso. Check out his recent discussion with our CEO.

Flippy Can Make Restaurants 4X More Profits

Our AI and robotics platform increases kitchen efficiency while slashing labor costs. Based on our market potential, we can help fast food brands make $24 billion in profits each year.

Solving the Biggest Problem in the $1 Trillion Fast Food Industry

Fast food restaurants can’t keep their kitchens staffed. There are 3 million more job openings than workers in the U.S. alone. Our tech fills the gap.

  • Labor shortage
    9 million US jobs open, only 6 million job seekers1

  • High turnover
    +144% annual employee turnover in quick-serve restaurants2

  • Wage challenges
    Minimum wages on the rise across the country with California already at $20/hour

Flippy Fries for White Castle, Jack in the Box, and More

Some of the world’s top fast-food brands are already turning to Flippy to solve problems in their kitchens. Flippy’s cooked over 3 million baskets of fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, and more for brands like Jack in the Box, White Castle, and Caliburger.

Why Fast Food Brands Want Flippy

Don’t take our word for it, see why senior quick-serve restaurant leaders are celebrating Flippy.

"Flippy joined co-workers today at our Shiloh, Illinois location. This is now the third French-fryer-robot we installed in the St. Louis region. The first couple Flippy’s have been doing great..."

"In Detroit for another successful Flippy-at-the-fryer installation by Miso Robotics. Grateful for the partnership. Team member training this morning and opening for lunch. The team is very engaged and excited to have Flippy join their team."

Just Announced: Flippy Next Gen

Flippy’s transforming from a “working prototype” versions into a truly scalable, commercializable product. Now we’re ready to scale. We’re launching a next-gen Flippy that will target 170 brands with over 100,000 locations in the U.S.

  • Smarter: Using our proprietary Miso AI, Flippy now integrates advanced vision tech, self-healing, and numerous other incredible Kitchen AI innovations.
  • Faster: The all-new AutoBaskets™ and improved arm movements mean quicker cooking times and streamlined operations during the all-important rush periods.
  • Smaller: Flippy's redesigned, compact size ensures that it fits into more kitchens and installs in just hours.

Scaling Flippy Is a $3.5 billion Opportunity

Because the quick-service restaurant market is so large, capturing just a fraction of it could be worth over $3.5 billion in revenue for us.
