Sweet Robo earns national recognition for leading the rise of robotics powered retail and high performing automated attractions.

Sweet Robo has earned one of Food Business Review’s top distinctions for 2025, recognizing the company as a leader in the global shift toward robotics powered consumer experiences. The publication highlighted Sweet Robo’s signature machines, rapid international growth, and its ability to transform small footprint spaces into high performing attractions across airports, malls, casinos, resorts, and theme parks.

Food Business Review described Sweet Robo as part of a new class of automation companies that merge entertainment, food, visual design, and modern retail economics. The feature credited the company with helping move automated retail beyond simple vending and into a category that now competes with quick service concepts and experiential entertainment.

Dennis Branch, Chief Revenue Officer of Sweet Robo, said the recognition reflects a clear movement already underway across the retail and attractions industry. “Operators and property owners want concepts that attract guests and deliver strong results without complex staffing or long buildouts. Our systems do exactly that. They create a moment, they draw a crowd, and they generate predictable recurring revenue. It is exciting to see this shift acknowledged at a national level,” Branch said.

Food Business Review also noted Sweet Robo’s growing impact on the future of automated food. Earlier this year, Branch finalized Sweet Robo’s partnership with RoboBurger, the automated cooking system featured on Season 15 of Shark Tank. The collaboration is set to introduce gourmet automated burgers in early 2026, which the publication called “a major evolution in the automated retail category and a strong indicator of where food robotics is heading.”

The report emphasized that Sweet Robo’s combination of engineering, visual presence, operator support, and commercial performance has positioned the company as a standout in a rapidly expanding global market. With thousands of units deployed across more than twenty five countries, the publication wrote that Sweet Robo has become one of the most influential brands shaping the rise of automated retail and automated entertainment.
