The Problem: Restaurant Price Inflation

According to Finance Buzz, restaurant prices increased by an average of 60% between 2014 and 2024—nearly double the national inflation rate. To make matters worse, service quality has declined. CNBC reports that 25.9% of Starbucks customers experienced longer wait times, reflecting a broader trend of labor shortages in the industry.

Why is the labor shortage happening?

Many workers view server or barista roles as unsustainable long-term careers, especially on minimum wage, leading to high turnover rates, such as 130.7% in 2020. This forces businesses to incur additional expenses for hiring, training, and maintaining staff while overburdening existing employees to stay profitable.

Our Solution: Let robots handle the stressful, labor intensive tasks

We're here to change the game—making businesses profitable while ensuring workers find satisfaction and sustainability in their roles.

Our system is high-throughput, modular, and reconfigurable, serving as a flexible assembly line. By automating routine and production-heavy tasks, the robots help reduce the burden on human workers, allowing them to focus on building closer connections with customers, and providing the best service— answering questions, addressing their needs, and fostering more meaningful interactions.

Why invest in Yummy Future Now

Although our first store was initially launched as a test ground for our prototype and location, we achieved remarkable growth and traction in an exceptionally short period. Despite operating in a location where sales are affected by university vacation breaks, our sales numbers have proven resilient, demonstrating that we've stood the test of time.

It’s no surprise that our labor costs are significantly reduced, leading to a 300% improvement in profit margins. What did surprise us, however, is that our ingredient costs are also notably lower compared to other coffee shops. This is primarily due to the precision of our robot operations, which minimize waste and prevent disproportionate use of ingredients. Additionally, our advanced forecasting and food preparation systems ensure better organization, significantly reducing food waste overall.

Standalone Unit

We have already secured over 25 Letters of Intent (LoIs) for standalone units valued at $3M+ from very early on in 2022, with the potential for rapid expansion of this list. As our technology continues to mature, we are beginning to pilot a white-labeling approach for our solutions. This strategy holds immense promise for accelerating the wider adoption and growth of the robotic service industry.

Millions of Customizations

Our robotic system utilizes advanced algorithms to manage an extensive range of customizations, expertly balance taste profiles, and handle nuanced adjustments. This delivers an unparalleled level of personalization with flawless self-balancing precision.

Our Customers Love us

Our plan is to reach profitability next year, bring in $2M-$3M sales

With your investment, we can sustain our exponential growth momentum by opening up more shops while launching our franchise model. This approach will enable us to expand into more areas with a less capital-intensive strategy, reaching more customers and maximizing impact. We have sold 60 thousands cups of coffee to date. And we want to sell 1M cups in 24 months.

The unifying restaurant platform

Over the years, we've developed a universal software, electrical, and hardware ecosystem that seamlessly integrates everything. This full vertical integration eliminates inefficiencies, ensuring every part works in harmony. Our monolithic design removes intermediaries between the customer and their product. When a customer places an order, it’s computed instantly, precisely scheduled, and produced with real-time sensor feedback to ensure consistency. The taste will match their previous orders perfectly.

Our vision is to empower all brands with our robots

We're more than just robot hardware—we're the Amazon of food. We're building the next-generation restaurant platform.
