Macco Robotics
Kime robot bartender and hospitality humanoids made in Andalusia
Macco Robotics designs service robots for food and beverage, notably Kime, a plug-and-play robotic kiosk that pours drinks and coffee, takes payments and reports inventory to the cloud. Units operate in Spain and the US, and in November 2025 the company signed a three-year deal with Sieflex to supply 1,000 robots for hotels, restaurants and bars in a smart-city project in India.
Our reading. Best for beverage brands, venues and chains that want a robotic bar or coffee point from an EU manufacturer and can run it as a project.
Strengths
- Kiosk format with built-in ordering, payment and inventory reporting
- One of the few EU-built alternatives to Asian and US hospitality robots
- Track record since 2013 with fuel-station and beverage-brand deployments
Limits
- Pricing and financing not public
- Deployment requires a project with the vendor rather than self-service
- Small team scaling to a very large order
