How it works

Order. Watch. Wow.

Every cone is a 90-second performance — and the crowd it draws is the point.

STEP 01

Guest taps & pays

Touchscreen ordering with card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay built in. Guests pick a shape and color combination from 30+ designs. No cash handling, no line staff.

STEP 02

The robot spins it live

A robotic arm sculpts the cotton candy into a 3D shape behind glass, in full view. Crowds gather, phones come out — the machine is the attraction.

STEP 03

Fresh cone, happy guest

In under 90 seconds the finished creation is dispensed — photographed, posted, and tagged with your venue before the first bite.

Revenue share

Your venue earns on every cone

A clean revenue share on every transaction, with transparent reporting — a new income line without adding a single shift to your roster.

Guest experience

An attraction, not a vending machine

Watching a robot sculpt cotton candy is a moment guests remember and share. It adds to the experience your venue sells — it doesn't just feed people.

Organic reach

Content your guests make for you

The spin is inherently filmable. Guests post it, tag your venue, and hand you the kind of authentic social reach no ad budget can buy.

Common questions

What venues ask us first.

The practical details facility and operations teams want to know before saying yes.

What are the electrical and utility requirements?

The machine runs on standard commercial power with a maximum draw of 2,200 W. It can be configured to run on either a 110V / 20A or a 220V / 10A line. It does not require any plumbing or external water lines — an internal water reservoir handles the automated self-cleaning cycle.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

The unit stands at W 134 × D 75 × H 242 cm (52.8 × 29.5 × 95.3 in) and weighs 380 kg. It's a heavy-duty, stationary unit engineered to operate safely in high-traffic concourse environments.

What is the production speed and volume capacity?

The machine spins a custom 3D cotton candy creation in under 90 seconds, and holds up to 350 servings per inventory fill — built to handle rapid, high-volume crowds during peaks like stadium halftimes and event breaks.

What payment systems does the machine support?

A fully integrated payment hub covers every guest: a Nayax system for cashless payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit cards), plus a bill acceptor and coin/pulse devices for guests who prefer cash.

What smart features are included?

An interactive touchscreen for ordering, a built-in sound system to draw in passing foot traffic, structural safety sensors, and a real-time monitoring app that alerts our team the moment inventory or maintenance is needed — often before it becomes noticeable on-site.
