Focus Dynamics Introduces Malaysia's First Robotic Mixologist To Capture 

RM422.3 Millions F&B Market

         

7 April 2021 – Focus Dynamics has unveiled its state-of-the-art robotic bartender, MixoBot, as the centrepiece of Lavo, a resto-lounge and wine atelier under the Group. The MixoBot not only aims to be an attraction piece, but also ensures a precise mix of ingredient ratio for a perfect glass of cocktail. 

Malaysia’s food and beverage market is poised to generate an estimated RM422.3 million in revenue in 2021. According to Statista, a provider of market and consumer data, the sector will grow at a rate of 11.08% year-on-year with a target of RM640 million by 2025.

Focus Dynamics aims to add an additional revenue channel to its current business with the leasing of MixoBot to interested restaurants. It expects to serve restaurants in key cities throughout Malaysia. Adoption of MixoBot could greatly increase beverage revenue of a venue by 50 per cent.

Focus Dynamics Group Bhd executive director Benson Tay at the launching of MixoBot event held recently.

Benson Tay, Executive Director of Focus Dynamics, said that the MixoBot can be programmed by a professional world-class mixologist within minutes to deliver perfect cocktails every time, without fail. 

 “Flair bartending has always charmed restaurant patrons and MixoBot aims to do exactly that. Bartenders sometimes may not be as precise as a robot. Customers return drinks to the bar station due to ingredients proportioned that might not suit their taste. The returned drinks cost the bar money and we hope the MixoBot is able to help eliminate this problem – not only for us, but for the restaurants MixoBot serve,” Tay added.
