HUN × xbot | Robotic coffee and ice cream for Canadian coffee shops, restaurants and venues

// why robots?

We've always built tools to get back to what matters.

Every generation hands its hardest, most repetitive work to a new tool, then spends the time it gets back on the things only people can do. This is the next chapter of that story, not the end of it.

We've always done this.

People build tools to take on the work that drains us, then spend the time on what matters. The espresso machine didn't end the café. It made the modern barista possible.

The next tool is here.

Robots can now take the most repetitive part of service: the four-hundredth identical latte, the 5 a.m. rush, the late close. Every cup comes out the same, and nobody has to grind through it.

What we do with the time is the point.

More conversation at the counter. Owners who can open earlier, stay open later, keep prices fair and invest in their people. Better days for the crew, better moments for guests.

Machines bring the precision. People bring the soul.

// for people

More conversation, fewer grinding shifts, and a guest experience that feels warm every single time.

// for business

Consistent quality, efficient service and predictable costs, with savings you can put back into your people and your prices.

Change like this is a transition, and we treat it like one. HUN trains the Canadian operators, attendants and technicians who run these machines, and every install starts with the team that works beside it. What the technology means for people →

No franchise fee to host a unit.

More time for the people you serve.

HUN brings XBOT's robotics platform to Canadian coffee shops, restaurants and venues, sited and serviced by a Canadian team. The machine takes on the repetition, your people take care of guests, and the upside is shared, not sold to you as a franchise.

// ai + robotics

Commercial robots with embodied AI. Built to work in the real world.

Not a demo and not a prototype. XBOT robots are serving real customers in more than 100 cities today, doing the repetitive, precise work so the people around them can do the human part.

// the robots

Four robots. One Canadian operator.

Coffee, soft-serve and, soon, a humanoid that covers the whole counter. Each runs the same XBOT platform, and each is imported, certified, installed and serviced here by HUN.

// who it's for

Built for owners. Especially coffee shops.

If you run a counter, you know the grind: the morning rush, the late close, the same drink four hundred times. That's the part a robot is good at, so your people can be great at everything else.

Best fit

// coffee shop owners

Your baristas host. The robot handles the rush.

Keep your best people on the floor with guests while the machine pours the morning queue, the same drink every time. A second service point keeps the line moving while your team takes care of people.

Covers peak hours, early opens and late closes
Frees baristas for hospitality, not cups-per-hour targets
Own it outright or host it and share the revenue

Check my café →See the C3

// restaurant owners

A coffee and dessert program, without a new station

Specialty coffee after the meal and soft-serve for the table, so your kitchen stays focused on the food and your servers stay focused on the table.

C3I3

// landlords and mall owners

Turn unused floor into a share of every sale

A footprint of about 20 to 27 sq ft (1.8 to 2.5 m²) turns a dead corner, lobby or atrium edge into a revenue line, with HUN carrying service and uptime.

// technology moat

Three core moats. Hard to copy, built to last.

Years of engineering plus real commercial experience, from the hardware layer to the intelligence layer to a closed data loop. It is the foundation XBOT builds on, and your long-term assurance.

Lego-style modular hardware

Standard interfaces let one robot body take on new skills, instead of being a single-purpose appliance.

A task brain that generalizes

It learns the pattern behind a skill and carries it to new machines, from coffee to ice cream and beyond.

A real-world data flywheel

Every one of 1,000+ units feeds the models that make the whole fleet smarter over time.

// two ways in

Work with HUN however fits your business.

Own & Operate

You buy it, you keep the profit

For coffee shop owners and independent operators

You own the machine outright and run your own independent business under your own brand. No royalties, no ongoing revenue share to HUN.

HUN's roleImport, train, set up, after-sales service
You keep100% of what it earns
Best forOwners who want to run their own show

Host & Share

We place it, we share the upside

For landlords, restaurants and venues

HUN owns, runs and services the machine at your venue, and your team can be as involved as you like. You host, we run it, revenue is split.

HUN's roleOwns, services, and runs the machine
You getA share of every sale, no purchase required
Best forOwners who want the upside without the upkeep

// how it works

From first conversation to a running machine.

We assess your site

Foot traffic, power, and drink profile, so the right machine goes to the right location.

We handle setup

Import, certification, siting, and installation. You don't manage a customs form.

We operate or you do

HUN runs it end to end, or your team takes a hands-on role with our training and support.

Revenue starts sharing

An agreed split on every cup, tracked transparently, paid on a set schedule.

// host & share, the numbers

A share of a working machine. No purchase required.

This is the path where you host rather than own. It isn't a franchise: no royalties, no brand-compliance audits, no fee just to participate. HUN places, services, and (fully or partially) operates the machine at your site, and shares the resulting revenue with you.

No upfront equipment purchase to host a unit
No franchise fee, no royalty structure
HUN carries the servicing and uptime responsibility
You choose fully HUN-operated or shared with your team

// why host with HUN

What an owner actually gets.

We carry the certification work

cUL, electrical inspection, and provincial food permitting handled before a machine ever ships to your site.

Your team, freed up

The robot covers the repetitive work, so your people can cover the guests: greeting, recommending, remembering names.

Remote monitoring

Uptime, inventory, and sales visible without a site visit.

One accountable operator

A Canadian team responsible for service calls, not a hardware vendor twelve time zones away.

Branded to your venue

Machine wraps and on-screen branding available, the same way any custom-branded kiosk program works.

Revenue, not rent

A share of what the machine actually earns, rather than a flat licensing fee regardless of performance.
