Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF), dba as TechForce Robotics, recently announced that the company is developing and launching a proprietary beverage dispensing robotic system called BIM-E (Beverages in Motion – Everywhere). “The system is designed to optimize both beverage revenue and service efficiency and was created to address two major challenges faced by many venues: long wait times and lost revenue caused by insufficient staff during busy periods.
