Business Description

Reasons to Invest:

1. 1. Dice Cream strategically aims to manage costs by minimizing labor & eliminating traditional brick-and-mortar complexities. We believe this approach would create a cost-effective entry into the food automation space.
2. 2. The average American eats roughly 20 pounds of ice cream each year, or about 4 gallons. With the industry valued at $81.8 billion and projected to reach $114.7 billion by 2030, we believe we’ve found a “sweet spot”.
3. 3. With 30 years of combined experience in food, robotics & automation (Miso Robotics, Graze, Bobacino), & backgrounds at Raytheon, Booz Allen Hamilton, & Lockheed Martin, our team brings a wealth of knowledge to Dice Cream.

Shape of Future of Autonomous Food Innovation:

Dice Cream aims to be a fully autonomous ice cream parlor revolutionizing the frozen dessert experience. Our compact pod, designed to comply with FDA regulations, serves up cubed scoops of ice-cream powered by our robot, Dicey, and his minions. As we move towards large-scale production, we’re seeking funds on PicMii to develop, test and launch our next prototype.

Scoop to Serve in Seconds:

Dice Cream’s parlor plans to be equipped with a robotic working arm that is seamlessly integrated into DiceCream’s ecosystem, working with multiple robotic minions within the segmented stations (ice cream, toppings, delivery) of the machine to efficiently deliver scoops from up to 12 flavors to customers. The process, from an order being placed to final delivery, should take as little as 40 seconds. With the ability to process up to three orders simultaneously, and boasting up to 12 flavors and 144 potential combinations with toppings, and sauces, each pod is planned to be able to serve over 500 customers before restocking. This design plans to minimize maintenance for an efficient and high-volume operation.

Problem

Low Profit Margin

Traditional ice cream shops see incredible low profit margin. They have high labor costs, high real estate expenses, and provide low experience for customers.

Solution

The Solution…Robotics!

By utilizing robotics, Dice Cream believes it allows their team to drop labor costs, minimize real estate expenses, and create a completely uniquely ice cream experience that will wow both kids and adults. 

Business Model

A Triple Scoop of Brilliance:

We believe Dice Cream’s planned business model will be a triple scoop of brilliance. With an initial focus on universities, malls, apartments, and arenas, we’re planning to utilize a dual revenue approach: Dice Cream-branded pods and white-labeled pods. By planning to generate income through Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) and royalty fees on sales, we believe we’re sweetening the deal with a lower cost structure, which may allow for competitive prices and higher margins (traditionally 25% for a brick and mortar ice cream parlor) (Source). 

Since Dicey plans to offer consistently delicious delivery without the hassle of labor costs, our machines could be a “delightful” choice for high-traffic venues with limited competition. Beyond placement and convenience, we’re planning to form partnerships with established ice cream brands, adding a sweet twist to the market!

Market Projection

Large Market Potential:

In 2022, the US produced a staggering 1.4 billion gallons of ice cream (Source). That’s roughly four gallons per average American – translating to 64 cups, 128 scoops, and nearly 6,500 bites (Source). And with the global market poised to exceed $100 billion before the end of the decade with a 4.2% CAGR, the world is hungry for more (Source). Ice cream is a timeless favorite, and we believe Dice Cream will be too!

Competition

Dice Cream – Scoops Above the Competition

Dice Cream Robotics’ main competitors include traditional ice cream parlors and fast-food outlets offering ice cream. The Company’s differentiation lies in its autonomous, robotic service model, intended to enhance operational efficiency.

Traction & Customers

Current Product Stage: The Company is pre-revenue and in the development phase, with a focus on refining its autonomous ice cream parlor prototype.

Future Roadmap: Dice Cream Robotics is working towards the next stages of its product development, with plans for beta testing in 2024 and larger-scale production thereafter. The Company’s activities are centered on research, testing, and development of its autonomous ice cream parlor technology.

Our current plans involve deploying our initial beta on a college campus in the second half of 2024. We plan to take data gathered from this beta, to iterate further and improve the product before deploying a second beta expected in early 2025. We hope to complete any final product development objectives at the conclusion of this beta before scaling production in the second half of 2025 with an intended public rollout coming in late 2025/early 2026.

Investors

Why Invest?

A Scoop Above the Rest
