Crave Robotics, the innovative manufacturer behind the CraveBot™, has successfully raised $2 million in its latest seed funding round. This investment propels the company forward in its mission to merge technology with hospitality through high-tech, hot food vending machines.
“Working with new investor groups provides us the working capital to leap to the next level, allowing us to get Beta Test Sites into the public arena,” said CEO of Crave Robotics, Paul Chen, in a recent press release. “But most importantly to serve the needs of our locations and their customers.”
Crave Robotics specializes in ready-to-eat, smart vending meals in under three minutes, catering primarily to the U.S. hospitality sector, particularly branded hotel chains and universities. The CraveBot delivers a turnkey solution for serving fresh, high-quality meals around the clock. Developed under the leadership of Botrista Technology founder Paul Chen, who has extensive operational experience in food automation, the vending machine understands when frozen food replenishment is needed via their cold chain logistics network.
Designed for convenience and efficiency, the CraveBot offers a full range of meal options, from breakfast and snacks to desserts and dinner entrees. This enables hotels to generate incremental revenue by offering guests 24/7 hot meal access without leaving the premises.
