## Story

The sports restaurant and bar franchise Wings and Rings recently announced a new partnership with Miso Robotics to begin to pilot test Flippy 2 in the franchise’s Crestview Hills, Kentucky location. Flippy 2 leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and data analytics to maximize efficiency in commercial kitchens like the ones found in Wings and Rings.

“As a developer of robotics technology in the restaurant space, Miso Robotics is a perfect partner to integrate into our business,” said Bob Bafundo , COO of Wings and Rings . “We’ve been so impressed by our conversations with Miso and our initial tests of Flippy that we’re adding more menu items into our pilot. Flippy is consistent, dependable, and cooks our food even quicker than before without sacrificing the flavor-forward taste we’re known for.”

Wings and Rings is the first wing concept brand to integrate Flippy 2 in a real kitchen environment. Incorporating artificial intelligence into the brand’s kitchen concept will help Wings and Rings continue to offer a consistently elevated dining experience to its customers.
