Dice Cream Robotics
Serving more delight than humanly possible.
Did you know that the average American consumes approximately 20 pounds of ice cream annually, equivalent to about 4 gallons? With the ice cream industry valued at $81.8 billion and projected to reach $114.7 billion by 2030, we are confident of this market opportunity.
Welcome to Dice Cream Robotics: Ice Cream. Innovated.
Dice Cream is an autonomous ice cream parlor prototype for a 2024 launch. It blends the best of ice cream with cutting-edge robotics. Our mission is to redefine the food automation landscape by strategically managing costs and simplifying operations. By minimizing labor and eliminating traditional brick-and-mortar complexities, we aim to offer a cost-effective entry point into the food automation space.
