TechForce Robotics reported that its BIM-E robotic beverage dispensing system served more than 5,000 drinks during its debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The demonstration highlighted the system's performance in a high-traffic, peak-demand environment typical of major conventions and hospitality venues.
The company stated that BIM-E delivered 16-ounce beverages in an average of about 10 seconds per drink. Each unit can dispense up to eight different beverages and is designed to provide consistent, repeatable pours through TechForce's Robotics-as-a-Service platform. This consistency addresses a common challenge in high-volume beverage service where manual pouring can lead to variation in quality and portion control.
According to the company, BIM-E is fully point-of-sale compatible and customizable to venue needs. The system is designed to be managed by a single bartender overseeing up to three units simultaneously, potentially increasing staff efficiency in busy environments. TechForce plans to begin accepting orders for BIM-E later this quarter, initially targeting enterprise operators and multi-location hospitality partners through its RaaS deployment model.
The successful CES demonstration suggests potential implications for the hospitality industry, particularly in venues experiencing labor shortages or seeking to optimize operations during peak periods. The ability to serve thousands of drinks efficiently could impact revenue generation and customer satisfaction in high-volume settings. For business leaders, the system represents another example of how robotics and automation are transforming service industries traditionally dependent on manual labor.
TechForce Robotics, operating as Nightfood Holdings Inc., focuses on deploying AI-powered automation across multiple industries with hospitality as its initial sector of entry. The company's long-term vision involves expanding into additional verticals requiring similar automation solutions.
