Robotic vending · United Kingdom
An attraction that pays rent.
An interactive visual experience that engages shopping families. Customers watch through the glass as a robotic arm collects a stick, styles the floss, and a finished 3D design rises into the collection window. It draws a crowd, holds families in place, and turns underutilised floor space into a steady revenue stream.
Under 2 m² footprint
A high-yield concession that fits entrance foyers, concourses, and quiet corners without reworking your floorplan.
Fully autonomous
A robotic arm picks the stick, spins the sugar, and shapes up to 36 different 3D floral designs — around one minute per unit.
100% cashless
Contactless, Apple Pay, and Google Pay through an integrated card reader at a £4–£5 price point.
Zero burden on the venue
Robites handles restocking, cleaning, maintenance, insurance, and UK compliance. Your team never touches the machine.
Specification
Everything your facilities team will ask.
Standard UK mains, castor wheels for repositioning, and a fully enclosed production chamber. Full technical drawings and risk assessments available on request.
