Nightfood Holdings, operating under the brand TechForce Robotics, announced a live pilot deployment of its autonomous beverage‑service robot BIM‑E and waste‑management robot TIM‑E at the IOA Championship from April 24 to 26, 2026. The deployment marks a key milestone in the company’s commercialization strategy and demonstrates the robots’ ability to operate in a high‑traffic hospitality setting.
The BIM‑E robot delivers beverages to guests, while the TIM‑E robot handles waste management and delivery tasks. Both robots will remain on site after the championship to support ongoing clubhouse operations, providing a real‑world test bed for the company’s Robotics‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) model.
Nightfood’s partnership with Foxconn and NUWA Robotics underpins the deployment. Foxconn’s manufacturing capabilities and NUWA’s engineering expertise enable the company to scale production and accelerate time‑to‑market. The event also showcases the company’s focus on the growing global service‑robotics market, projected to reach $107.8 billion by 2030, and the smart‑hospitality market, expected to hit $181.6 billion by 2032.
President Ried Floco said, “This deployment represents a meaningful validation of our platform in a live, high‑demand environment, while expanding our presence into an additional hospitality subvertical. Each successful deployment reinforces the adaptability and scalability of our technology across diverse operating conditions. We are seeing strong internal momentum as our deployment and production teams work in close alignment with NUWA Robotics to scale manufacturing.” CEO Jimmy Chan added, “This agreement represents the culmination of years of development and validation. We have spent the last several years building, testing, and refining our robotics platform in real‑world environments. With those pilots successfully completed, we are now ready to scale. By aligning with Foxconn’s manufacturing capabilities and NUWA’s engineering expertise, we anticipate being positioned to expand deployment and meet the growing demand for automation across industries.” He also noted, “Our focus is execution, expanding our U.S. presence, advancing partnerships, and building the infrastructure needed to scale.”
The live pilot validates the company’s RaaS model, which lowers adoption friction for customers and creates recurring revenue streams. By demonstrating reliable performance in a busy event, the company strengthens its competitive position against other service‑robotics providers and positions itself to secure future contracts in hospitality, food‑service, and other high‑traffic venues. The deployment also signals that Nightfood is moving from pilot programs to revenue‑generating operations, a critical step toward scaling production and achieving profitability.
The IOA Championship deployment underscores Nightfood Holdings’ progress toward commercializing its autonomous robotics platform and highlights the company’s strategic partnerships and market focus. The event is a tangible demonstration of the company’s ability to deliver scalable, high‑performance solutions in real‑world hospitality environments.
