Miso Robotics, based in Pasadena, California, develops AI-powered robotics and automation systems for restaurant and hospitality operations. Its flagship Flippy Fry Station is a 24/7 robot designed to automate frying tasks that are dangerous, undesirable, or hard to staff, freeing workers for higher-value roles. The system is deployed across seven states and is described as delivering consistent food quality and improved worker safety, with ROI reportedly realized within the first month of use. In addition to robotics hardware, Miso offers Zippy, an AI software operations platform (originally Zignyl) that centralizes sales, labor scheduling, forecasting, employee incentives, and task management across locations. In February 2026 the company acquired Zignyl to expand its software capabilities and broaden its product footprint. Supported by third-party verification from Ecolab and collaboration with NVIDIA, Miso positions itself as a mid-sized player in automation machinery manufacturing focused on modernizing high-volume kitchens.
