Miso

Positioning

Miso Robotics (Pasadena, CA; founded 2016) builds Flippy, an AI-powered robotic fry station for quick-service restaurant kitchens, and positions itself as the market leader in fry-station automation. It launched a redesigned third-generation Flippy (Nov-25) that it claims is twice as fast and half the size, and made two 2026 acquisitions (Zignyl restaurant AI, Zume's 300+ patents), but audited 2025 net revenue was only ~$514.8K with just 10 third-gen units deployed by Mar-31-26. The open question is whether it can convert marquee pilots (White Castle) into standardized, profitable installations, given an auditor's going-concern doubt.
