XRobotics’ countertop robots are cooking up 25,000 pizzas a month
XRobotics recently raised a $2.5 million seed round to help it produce more of its countertop pizza robots.
The machines, which lease for $1,300 a month for three years, can make up to 100 pizzas an hour and be retrofitted to work with pies of different sizes and styles like Detroit and Chicago deep dish. Rodionov argues that they’ve been successful where other companies haven’t because they aren’t trying to fully transform the pizza-making process, as Zume was, but rather build technology to help existing pizza makers save on time and labor. Because they are building assistive technology, as opposed to replacement tech, Robinov said they’ve been able to keep their device small enough to fit in existing kitchens and priced at a level that pizzerias ranging from mom and pop shops to large chains, both of which the company counts as customers, could afford.
