This year at the Bar & Restaurant Expo in Las Vegas, Mixologiq proudly offered an exclusive preview of its latest innovation: the Mixo 8—a compact, high-performance automated cocktail machine designed to help hospitality businesses overcome today’s operational challenges.
From bar owners and hotel operators to hospitality pros and distributors, attendees got a first-hand look at how the Mixo 8 is set to transform cocktail service in even the most demanding venues.
Solving Today’s Hospitality Challenges
The Mixo 8, a compact automated cocktail machine, was built to tackle the real-world pain points the industry faces:
- Staffing shortages: One-touch operation allows venues to serve premium cocktails with minimal staff.
- Inconsistent quality: Intelligent portion control ensures every drink is made to spec—every time.
- Slow service: Cocktails are dispensed in under 30 seconds, speeding up peak-hour operations.
- Training & turnover: An intuitive interface means new staff can serve drinks confidently from day one.
Attendees immediately recognized the Mixo 8’s potential to free up bartenders to focus on what really matters—delivering great guest experiences.
A Landmark Presence at the Expo
The Mixologiq booth quickly became a hotspot for serious decision-makers, multi-location operators, hotel chains, cruise lines, and global distributors. While no live demos or software functionality were shown at this stage, guests could view the physical design and explore the concept behind the Mixo 8 automated cocktail machine. The sneak preview sparked valuable conversations about its future applications and scalability.
Our team engaged with professionals during the three-day event, each interaction reinforcing a common theme: automation is the next big leap for bar service.
