An interesting\u00a0<\/span>idea<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0robotic pizza shop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>, an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>automated artisan pizza\u00a0<\/span>vending machine. <\/span>Piestro<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>launched in the summer of 2020 and drove investor interest for its ability to automate the pizza cooking process to 3 minutes<\/span>!

Investing in the future of pizza with\u00a0<\/span><\/b>the robotic pizza shop\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Piestro<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Last fall\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>, the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>start-up automating artisan<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pizza creation<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0partner<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0with\u00a0<\/span>Kiwibot<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>robotics company providing affordable and accessible delivery service, to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>offer consumers a touchless, contactless pizza delivery experience. The partnership comes following a successful campaign\u00a0<\/span>raise<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>crowdfunding platform\u00a0<\/span>StartEngine<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>where\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>\u00a0had an oversubscription of investor interest. As a result,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>\u00a0will open a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>second funding campaign<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on\u00a0<\/span>StartEngine<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to give more everyday investors an opportunity to bring fresh, quality pizza to the masses.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the onset of the pandemic, came an increasing concern for greater health and safety measures across restaurants and an accelerated need to shift to a takeout and delivery model for operators. In the \u2018new normal\u2019 consumers are spending more and more time at home, turning to quick access food options with minimal human contact.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Interest in a solution that would allow local and regional pizzeria operators<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to expand their takeout reach<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even delivery from the vending machine through\u00a0<\/span><\/b>the collaboration with\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Kiwibot<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Piestro<\/span>\u00a0is<\/span>\u00a0partnering with\u00a0<\/span>Kiwibot<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to deliver an improved<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>contactless experience. Now,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the final\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>automated pizzeria will come integrated with a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>dispensing mechanism for\u00a0<\/span>Kiwibot<\/span>, allowing for contactless delivery, further<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>limiting the potential for<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>customer exposure to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>harmful<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pathogens. Through an in-app order and purchase, customers can select their preferred pizza design. The order is registered with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Kiwibot<\/span>\u00a0and a bot is deployed to a\u00a0<\/span>Piestro<\/span>\u00a0location, where the pizza has been<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>made through automation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and timed to dispense upon arrive for maximum freshness and quality.\u00a0<\/span>Kiwibot<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>picks up the pizza<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and delivers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>directly to the consumers, creating a fully contactless experience from the time your pizza is made,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to the moment in hand.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
