TechForce Robotics, the robotics arm of Nightfood Holdings, announced the debut of its BIM‑E beverage dispensing robot at the Consumer Electronics Show, which ran from January 6 to 9, 2026. The company reported that the system served more than 5,000 drinks during the show, a figure that underscores the machine’s high throughput and operational readiness.
BIM‑E can pour eight distinct beverages—beer, wine, coffee, kombucha, seltzer, and others—in an average of 10 seconds per pour. The robot’s rapid cycle time, combined with a user‑friendly interface, allows a single bartender to manage up to three units simultaneously, potentially boosting venue throughput by up to 30% while cutting labor costs during peak periods.
The system is positioned as a core component of TechForce’s Robotics‑as‑a‑Service (RaaS) platform, which offers leasing, maintenance, and data analytics to hospitality operators. By removing the capital barrier to entry, the RaaS model enables venues to adopt advanced automation without large upfront investments, while generating recurring revenue for TechForce.
Nightfood Holdings has been pivoting from its original snack‑food business toward AI‑driven robotics and hospitality automation. The BIM‑E launch marks the first commercial availability of the company’s flagship robot and signals a strategic shift toward recurring service revenue. The company’s recent financials show significant net losses, but the new product line is expected to accelerate revenue growth and improve profitability over the long term.
The broader robotics market in hospitality is projected to grow rapidly as labor shortages and rising service expectations drive demand for automation. TechForce’s focus on data security, US‑based servers, and HIPAA‑compliant encryption positions it favorably against competitors that lack robust security features. The company also offers complementary robots, such as the Transport Bot, to support a full ecosystem of automated solutions.
CEO Jimmy Chan said the BIM‑E “demonstrates how robotics can address real‑world challenges facing foodservice operators today, including labor shortages, high turnover, and rising costs.” He added that the system’s ability to increase throughput while freeing staff for higher‑value guest interactions could unlock incremental revenue for venues. TechForce plans to begin accepting orders later this quarter, targeting multi‑location hospitality partners that can scale the solution across their venues.
