Miso Robotics Company Overview

Miso Robotics uses a cloud-connected AI Platform that enables the Company’s autonomous robotic kitchen assistants to perform tasks such as frying and grilling alongside chefs in a commercial kitchen. Miso Robotics is revolutionizing the restaurant and prepared food industries with innovative robotics and AI solutions.

Miso was founded with a mission to leverage AI technology to help chefs cook food perfectly and consistently. Since the Company’s founding in 2016, Miso’s robotic kitchen assistant, also known as “Flippy”, has been featured in numerous news and media outlets, including Forbes, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, among many others.

The Company employs a respected team of roboticists, engineers and industrial designers from Caltech, Cornell, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, Olin, Harvey Mudd, Art Center, NASA, Tesla, and SpaceX.

In March 2018, Miso launched the first “Flippy” in CaliBurger’s Pasadena location, where the bot flips burgers on a flat top grill. After success with this pilot, CaliBurger has recently signed an $11 million commercial contract for two Flippy’s at each of its 50+ locations worldwide. In Q4, 2019, the first “CaliBurger 2.0” opened in Ft. Myers, Florida with its reinvented kitchen that includes two Flippy’s working alongside one chef.

In 2020 White Castle began a pilot of an updated version of Flippy at a restaurant in the Midwestern United States. In Q4 2020 Miso and White Castle announced plans to expand their relationship to a beta rollout, targeting up to ten new White Castle locations at which to deploy Flippy. 

In May 2021 the Company released a standalone software as a service (SaaS) offering, CookRight, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered cooking platform able to automatically identify and track products and tasks. In addition to delivering real-time metrics and analytics to operators, CookRight improves cooking consistencey, order accuracy and food safety by alterting kitchen staff when critical actions need to occur like flipping and item or taking it off the grill.

In June 2021 Miso began development of an intelligence backed automated beverage dispenser, named Sippy, that will integrate with the point of sales (POS) system and come equipped with a guided workflow for employees to ensure accurate order completion synced with driver and customer arrival times. The machine will be able to automatically pour drinks and advance beverages to enable an easy grab-and-go format for staff. Del Taco, a chain of about 600 Mexican fast-food restaurants, is currently partnering with Miso Robotics to tailor Sippy  to their specifications.

In Q4, 2021 Miso Robotics unveiled the newest version of their flagship product, “Flippy 2”, which features significantly improved performance and functionality and was developed based on key learnings from the pilot with White Castle. Flippy 2 integrates the bot into a mounted rail system, allowing it to work on several tasks at once, and features a new AutoBin system which uses AI vision to automatically identify, cook and dispense food items into hot holding areas. This new system takes up less space in the kitchen and performs two times as many food preparation tasks increasing production by 30%.

In October, 2021 Miso Robotics announced the Flippy Wings product line. Flippy Wings is the only robotic chicken wing frying solution designed from the ground up for high volume restaurants. Flippy Wings fries fresh, frozen or hand-breaded chicken products, avoiding cross contamination and increasing throughput while reducing costs. Flippy Wings is currently being tested with a restaurant partner, and is being tailored and tuned to specifications.

Across 2019 and 2020, the Company earned non-recurring revenues from robotics consulting services provided. In H1 2021 the Company ceased providing these services to focus on upcoming deployments of Flippy.

Miso previously sold shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. Sales concluded on May 13, 2021 and November 18, 2021, respectively.

Our Product

Miso Robotics was founded with the idea of giving eyes and a brain to a robotic arm so it could work in commercial kitchens with real-time situational awareness and real-time robotic controls. The Company’s robotic kitchen assistant was designed as a software platform that could automate the cooking of all manner of foods and recipes, with all equipment and restaurant brands, and all kitchen formats.

Miso’s autonomous robotic Kitchen Assistants are focused on helping with the most repetitive, dangerous and least desirable tasks in the kitchen. The first “Flippy” grilling burgers was our proof of concept. Flippy can now fry many different kinds of foods as well. These tasks can be improved and optimized for consistency, ensuring each meal is cooked to the perfect temperature with minimal food waste. Beyond frying, grilling, and other cooking, expect them over time to help with tasks like chopping onions, cutting other vegetables and even cleaning.

The Kitchen Assistant improves and learns over time based on the data available. Ultimately, this frees up kitchen staff to spend more time with customers. The Company believes the future of food is on-demand, accessible, personalized, and scalable. Miso is building the technology platform leveraging automation, machine learning, and robotics advancements to deliver this future.

In addition to Miso’s robotic Kitchen Assistants, Flippy 2 and Flippy Wings, the Company offers a suite of kitchen automation tools including, CookRight, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered cooking platform, Sippy, a POS-integrated automatic beverage dispenser and sealer and the Miso platform which incorporates robotics with artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and data analytics to create products that make restaurants safer, easier and friendlier.

Product Roadmap

Within the next six months, Miso Robotics plans to launch new pilots with several top US and international restaurant brands and make our kitchen automation tools commercially available for restaurant operators using a robot-as-a-service (RaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

Miso Robotics’ long-term vision is to expand with along multiple avenues: increasing robotic arm skills, increasing kitchen equipment that can be interacted with, and providing a platform that allows third parties to develop new skills. Miso Robotics will continue expanding our skills in the kitchen until it can make fully automated kitchen in which people and chefs can program their own recipes.

Market Opportunity

The biggest misconception about the use of technology in the kitchen is that it is about job replacement. There is a growing labor crisis in the restaurant industry. Local workforces are shrinking, and wages are increasing, making commercial cooking uneconomical. Meanwhile consumers have an increased desire for meals cooked for them, whether via delivery, take-out, dining out, or grocery deli meals, adding pressure on kitchen workers.

Restaurants already see a 150% turnover today from a dissatisfied workforce. Pair this with an aging workforce that cannot handle some of the physical demands that come with the job and commercial kitchens are struggling to recruit and retain talent. Intelligent automation not only creates an avenue for meaningful work for the next generation through the creation of new jobs like a Chef Tech (employees trained to manage the robot) but also takes the physical burden off more mature employees who want to contribute later in life.

The tasks that Miso’s technology can perform are some of the most dangerous tasks in the kitchen, which ultimately improves the employee experience by freeing up time for them to focus on other work, like warm customer service that a robot can’t simply match.

Selected Risks Associated With The Business

Offering Terms

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As an issuer with less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act upon filing a Form 8-A. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, and hereby elect to do so. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Risk Factors

The SEC requires that we identify risks that are specific to our business and financial condition. We are still subject to all the same risks that all companies in our business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to Invest.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our performance, and have not yet generated profits. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new company encounters. Our company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 20, 2016, and we have not yet generated profits. The likelihood of our creation of a viable business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of our technology and products. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase for the near future, and there is no assurance that we will be profitable in the near future. You should consider our business, operations and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an emerging growth company.

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. The valuation for this Offering was established by the Company and is not based on the financial results of the Company. Instead, it is based on management’s best estimates of the investment value of the Company, which is a subjective measure. This differs significantly from listed companies, which are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices the valuation of private companies, especially early-stage companies, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

The auditor included a “going concern” note in its audit report. We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $10,684,792 and $6,990,832 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,341,232, current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,746,922, and has collateralized debt with outstanding principal of $3,634,648 due in 2021. As of the date of this Offering Circular all debt has either been converted or repaid. Details of the conversion and repayment are discussed below. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $32,606,458. Even if we raise funds through this offering, we may not accurately anticipate how quickly we may use the funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.

We are currently dependent on a few key personnel. Our success depends, to a large degree, on our ability to retain the services of our executive management team, whose industry knowledge and leadership would be difficult to replace. We might not be able to execute on our business model if we were to lose the services of any of our key personnel.  If any of these individuals were to leave the Company unexpectedly, we could face substantial difficulty in hiring qualified successors and could experience a loss in productivity while any such successor develops the necessary training and experience.  Competition for hiring engineers, sales and marketing personnel and other qualified personnel may result in a shortfall in recruiting and competition for qualified individuals could require us to pay higher salaries, which could result in higher labor costs.  If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals, or if the individuals we employ do not meet our standards and expectations, we may not be able to successfully execute on our business strategy and our operations and revenues could be adversely affected.  

We could be adversely affected by product liability, personal injury or other health and safety issues. We could be adversely impacted by the supply of defective products. Defective products or errors in our technology could lead to serious injury by restaurant and kitchen workers. Product liability or personal injury claims may be asserted against us with respect to any of the products we supply or services we provide. It is our responsibility to have a quality management system and training procedures in place and to audit our suppliers to ensure that products supplied to our company meet proper standards. Should a product or other liability issues arise, the coverage limits under insurance programs and the indemnification amounts available to us may not be adequate to protect us against claims and judgments. We also may not be able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future. We could suffer significant reputational damage and financial liability if we experience any of the foregoing health and safety issues or incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain intellectual property rights of the Company may be abandoned or otherwise compromised if the Company does not obtain additional capital. The Company may be forced to allow certain deadlines relating to its patent portfolio to pass without taking any action because it lacks sufficient funds to pay for the required actions. Specifically, certain international filing deadlines are quickly approaching as of the date of this Offering Circular and the Company lacks sufficient funds to pay the government and legal fees associated with making such filings. Additionally, certain U.S. provisional patent applications are scheduled to expire and the Company could lose its priority date with regard to the subject matter of such provisional applications in the event the Company n lacks sufficient funds to pay the applicable government and legal fees

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. As the Company grows, it will be required to hire and attract additional qualified professionals such as software engineers, robotics engineers, machine vision and machine learning experts, project managers, regulatory professionals, sales and marketing professionals, accounting, legal, and finance experts. The Company may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect the Company’s ability to grow and expand its business.

The Company’s business model is capital intensive. The amount of capital the Company is attempting to raise in this Offering is not enough to sustain the Company’s current business plan. In order to achieve near and long-term goals, the Company will need to procure funds in addition to the amount raised in the Offering. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is not able to raise sufficient capital in the future, then it will not be able to execute its business plan, its continued operations will be in jeopardy and it may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its remaining assets, which could cause a Purchaser to lose all or a portion of his or her investment.

Our newest technology is not yet fully developed. We are still developing components of Flippy 2, Flippy Wings, and Sippy that will eventually go into mass production. We have delivered a working version of our Flippy 2 and Flippy Wings products to our corporate partners, however, we may be unable to convert our current version to a viable product that can easily be replicated and put into mass production. Sippy is still being developed by our team and has not yet been delivered to a corporate partner for testing. Additionally, we may not be able to make a transition to mass production, either via in house manufacturing or contract manufacturers.

We may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our investors. In order to continue to operate and grow the business, we will likely need to raise additional capital beyond this current financing round by offering shares of our Common or Preferred Stock and/or other classes of equity. All of these would result in dilution to our existing investors, plus they may include additional rights or terms that may be unfavorable to our existing investor base. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the Company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

A significant portion of the Company’s voting securities are beneficially owned by Buck Jordan our President, whose interests may differ from those of the other stockholders. As of the date of this Offering Circular, Buck Jordan beneficially owns approximately 43.02% of the shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting securities. Assuming all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock being offered are sold, he will beneficially own approximately 41.90% of the shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting securities. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which may not be in the best interest of the Company’s other stockholders.

Your rights as a holder of Series E Preferred Stock may be limited by the number of shares held by entities affiliated with the Company's management and common shareholders. Future VC SPV, LLC and Rise of Miso, LLC collectively hold 499,239 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 508,785 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 133,505 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Rise of Miso, LLC is controlled by John Miller who is an investor in the Company via direct holdings and via CaliBurger’s holdings and Future VC SPV, LLC is controlled by Buck Jordan, who is an investor in the Company as well as its current President. The Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to certain protective provisions, as described in herein under “Securities Being Offered - Series C, Series D, and Series E Preferred Stock - Voting Rights” and the Company’s Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any vote in regard to the approval or disapproval of those items listed under the protective provisions would be either controlled by or substantially influenced by such affiliates, potentially against the interests of the rest of the Series E Preferred Stockholders. In addition, such affiliates could substantially influence any vote required by a majority of Series E Preferred Stock to cause all shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock. 

Risks Related to the Securities in this Offering  

There is no current market for any shares of the Company's stock. There is no formal marketplace for the resale of the Preferred stock or any of the Company’s Common Stock. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock may be traded on the over-the-counter market to the extent any demand exists. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time, or be able to pledge their shares as collateral. 

Our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation   has a forum selection provision that requires certain disputes be resolved in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to interest holders. Under Article 12 of our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders are required to resolve disputes related to the governance of the Company in the Court of Chancery located in the State of Delaware. The forum selection provision applies to (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides that should the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware not have subject matter jurisdiction over the matter, or there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, then the suit, action, or proceeding may be brought in the appropriate federal or state court. We intend for his forum selection provision to also apply to claims brought under federal securities law. The Company acknowledges that, for claims arising under the Exchange Act, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, requiring such matters to be heard in federal court. In contrast, Section 22 of the Securities Act provides for concurrent jurisdiction between federal and state courts for matters arising under the Securities Act.

The forum selection provision in our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit interest holders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our officers, directors, employees or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and such persons. The requirement that action to which this provision applies be heard in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware may also create additional expense for any person contemplating an action against the Company, or limit the access to information to undertake such an action, further discouraging lawsuits.

It is also possible that, notwithstanding the forum selection clause included in our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable or unenforceable. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. 

We are and may continue to be significantly impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the U.S., Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Company’s shares and investor demand for shares generally.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

Specifically, COVID -19 may impact the production and distribution of Miso Robotics. If we are unable to produce our products due to manufacturing strains, we may not be able to distribute our product quickly and scale our business. This impact would mean we’d need to raise additional capital in order to meet our revenue targets.

Investors in the company’s Common Stock have assigned their voting rights.

In order to subscribe to shares of Series E Preferred Stock in this offering, each investor will be required to grant an irrevocable proxy, giving the right to vote its shares of Series E Preferred Stock to the company’s President. This irrevocable proxy will limit investors’ ability to vote their shares of Series E Preferred Stock until the events specified in the proxy, which include the company’s IPO, which may never happen.

Dilution

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

Immediate dilution

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because each share of the same type is worth the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than earlier investors did for theirs.

The following table compares the price that new investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price paid by existing shareholders, giving effect to full conversion of all outstanding stock options, and assuming that the shares are sold at $10.05 per share, the original per share price of Series E Preferred Stock in this offering. The schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the company’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.

The following table demonstrates the dilution that new investors will experience upon investment in the company. The price per share in this table reflects the original price of Series E Preferred Stock in the offering of $10.05. This table uses the company's unaudited net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021 of $6,554,066  which is derived from the net equity of the company in the June 30, 2021 unaudited financial statements. This tangible net book value is then adjusted to contemplate conversion all other convertible instruments outstanding at current that would provide proceeds to the company, which assumes exercise of all warrants and stock options outstanding. While not every outstanding warrant or option may be exercised, we believe that it is important to identify the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of all existing securities issued by the company. To further illustrate the dilution that investors may experience, the second and third tables illustrate dilution including authorized, but unissued stock options, and solely on the basis of outstanding equity securities, respectively.

The offering costs assumed in the following table includes up to $400,000 in commissions to Dalmore Group, LLC, as well as legal and accounting fees incurred for this Offering. The table presents four scenarios for the convenience of the reader: a $10,000,000 raise from this offering, a $20,000,000 raise from this offering, and a fully subscribed $40,000,000 raise from this offering (maximum offering).

The next table is the same as the previous, but adds in consideration of authorized but unissued stock options, presenting the fully diluted basis. This adds 2,487,884 pre-financing shares outstanding and is not adjusted for potential conversion proceeds on the hypothetical exercise of these options.

The final table is the same as the previous two, but removes the assumptions of conversion of options, and warrants and consideration of authorized but unissued stock options, instead only presenting issued shares (common shares, plus the assumption of conversion of all issued and outstanding preferred shares).

Future Dilution

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares, whether as part of a capital-raising event, or issued as compensation to the company’s employees or marketing partners. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most development stage companies do not pay dividends for some time).

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share. In some cases, dilution can also completely wipe out the value of investments made by early investors, without any person being at fault.

Investors should understand how dilution works and the availability of anti-dilution protection.

Because the offering is a “best efforts,” we may close the offering without sufficient funds for all the intended purposes set out above, or even to cover the costs of this offering.

The company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of the Company.

Our Business

Company History

Miso Robotics launched in 2016 to create the world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant for commercial kitchens. Automation is important for the restaurant and prepared food industries, which are struggling to make a meaningful profit due to the increase in labor cost.

The Company is named after the foundation of miso soup, fermented soybeans. Fermentation is one of the first disruptive food technologies, leveraging the work of tiny microbes to provide massive improvements in nourishment at scale - reducing food waste, improving flavors, and unlocking more nutrition with less effort.

Miso now employs a respected team of roboticists, engineers and industrial designers from Caltech, Cornell, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, Olin, Harvey Mudd, Art Center, NASA, Tesla, and SpaceX.

Miso Robotics launched the first autonomous kitchen assistant, “Flippy”, in CaliBurger Pasadena in March 2018. Flippy’s first action in a commercial kitchen was to flip hamburgers. Burger patties are placed down by a human chef on the grill. Flippy uses AI to see the patties and flip them over at the proper time.

In the summer of 2018, Flippy was trained with a new skill: frying. Levy, a premium sports and entertainment hospitality company, piloted Flippy as a frying assistant from July 30, 2018, through the World Series of 2018 at the Chick ‘n Tots stand in Dodger Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Levy, upgraded to Flippy in a mobile cart format at the start of the 2019 season. Flippy has helped stadium team members consistently cook and serve more than 50,000 pounds of fresh chicken tenders and tater tots to Dodger fans, producing up to 80 baskets of food per hour.

In the fall of 2018, Flippy was upgraded to a mobile cart that allowed commercial restaurants to roll Flippy into storage to clean equipment and floors according to their SOP.

In May of 2019, Flippy was upgraded once again with a smaller footprint and deployed to the home of Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

In February of 2020 Miso Robotics unveiled “Flippy Robot on a Rail (ROAR)”. ROAR integrates Flippy into a mounted rail system, allowing it to work on several tasks at once. This new system requires zero real estate footprint and is forecasted to reduce automation costs by an additional 50%.

In April of 2020 Miso announced a new AI-powered kitchen assistant tool, CookRight. CookRight uses computer vision to track order accuracy and aid kitchen staff in ensuring that all food is cooked perfectly. Alongside CookRight, kitchen staff have access to an intuitive, gamified dashboard that enables them to supervise multiple workflows simultaneously.

In July of 2020 Miso entered into an agreement with White Castle to develop, pilot, and undertake a beta rollout of Miso Robotics' Flippy robot for the restaurant’s North American restaurants. White Castle piloted Miso’s Robot on a Rail (ROAR) system at a Chicago-area restaurant across Q3 and Q4 of 2020 and was the restaurant to utilize the ROAR system in a commercial environment. In October 2020 Miso and White Castle announced plans to expand their partnership, targeting up to ten new locations as part of a beta rollout of Flippy to the company’s North American restaurants.

In September 2020 Miso introduced a new software, ChefUI. ChefUI is run as a web-based application and displayed on a touchscreen monitor mounted on the ROAR system. It acts as the conduit between human and robot to work together and cook using the ROAR system. 

Miso also made notable additions to the team across the year. First, in October 2020 the Company welcomed Mike Bell as its new Chief Executive Officer. Prior to joining as CEO, Mike was the COO at Ordermark, a restaurant technology company, where he led the enterprise sales function and its top-down go-to-market strategy. He also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors at Miso. Second, in November 2020 Miso named its first Chief Strategy Officer, Jake Brewer. Prior to joining Miso, Jake was VP of Restaurant Excellence at CKE Restaurants, the parent company for Carl’s Jr. restaurants, where he led customer experience, engineering, field training, and more.

In May 2021 released the AI-powered kitchen assistant tool, CookRight as a software as a service (SaaS) offering.

In June 2021 Miso announced its intention to build an intelligence backed automated beverage dispenser, named Sippy, that will integrate with the point of sales (POS) system and come equipped with a guided workflow for employees to ensure accurate order completion synced with driver and customer arrival times. The machine will be able to automatically pour drinks and advance beverages to enable an easy grab-and-go format for staff. Del Taco, a chain of about 600 Mexican fast-food restaurants, is currently partnering with Miso Robotics to tailor Sippy to their specifications. The potential revenue from the Sippy product line is minimal compared to what could be possible from Flippy, and the degree to which this product line finds market adoption will not have a material impact on the overall success of the Company.

Across 2019 and 2020, the Company earned non-recurring revenues from robotics consulting services provided. In H1 2021 the Company ceased providing these services to focus on upcoming deployments of Flippy.

In Q4, 2021 Miso Robotics unveiled the newest version of their flagship product, “Flippy 2”, which features significantly improved performance and functionality and was developed based on key learnings from the pilot with White Castle. Flippy 2 integrates the bot into a mounted rail system, allowing it to work on several tasks at once, and features a new AutoBin system which uses AI vision to automatically identify, cook and dispense food items into hot holding areas. This new system takes up less space in the kitchen and performs two times as many food preparation tasks increasing production by 30%.

In October, 2021 Miso Robotics announced the Flippy Wings product line. Flippy Wings is the only robotic chicken wing frying solution designed from the ground up for high volume restaurants. Flippy Wings fries fresh, frozen or hand-breaded chicken products, avoiding cross contamination and increasing throughput while reducing costs. Flippy Wings is currently being tested with a restaurant partner, and is being tailored and tuned to specifications. 

Miso Robotics has created valuable partnerships with key disruptors in the restaurant industry. Miso Robotics is positioned to work with customers in the Quick Service Restaurant system to integrate Flippy into an overhead rail system to reduce the footprint.

Product Overview

Miso Robotics uses a cloud-connected Miso AI platform that enables the Company’s autonomous robotic kitchen assistants to perform frying and grilling cooking tasks. The product is designed as a platform, with extensible skill sets that will enable the same robot to interact with new kitchen equipment over time (as those new skills are developed). In addition, Miso Robotics’ kitchen assistant product line has received full certification by NSF International for meeting sanitation standards for commercial kitchen equipment and secured an ETL Listed Mark by Intertek for meeting UL electrical safety standards.

Miso’s team of engineers has built proprietary algorithms in scheduling (action planning/optimization), trajectory planning (robotic movement), and computer vision. Each of these is crucial for the functionality of Flippy while also providing a barrier to entry against the competition. The accuracy of Flippy’s vision algorithms achieved 99.985% at Dodgers Stadium over the 3 months July-September 2019. More specifically, there was 1 vision error out of 6,625 baskets cooked.

To remain easy to use by chefs within an operating kitchen, Flippy uses modern usability research and design to create a touchless cooking workflow, allowing cooks to never press a single button on the robot during regular cooking. Finally, Flippy is cloud-connected. Over-the-air upgrades allow for continuous improvement of the software/brains within Flippy. Flippy 2 features significantly improved performance and functionality and was developed based on key learnings from our pilot with innovation partner White Castle. It includes a new “auto-bin” system that uses AI vision to automatically identify food items, cook and dispense into hot holding areas, performs two times the food preparation tasks which increases production by 30%, and utilizes a new, sleeker design that takes up less space in the kitchen.

In Q4, 2021 Miso Robotics unveiled the newest version of their flagship product, “Flippy 2”, which features significantly improved performance and functionality and was developed based on key learnings from the pilot with White Castle. Flippy 2 integrates the bot into a mounted rail system, allowing it to work on several tasks at once, and features a new AutoBin system which uses AI vision to automatically identify, cook and dispense food items into hot holding areas. This new system takes up less space in the kitchen and performs two times as many food preparation tasks increasing production by 30%.

Also in 2021 Miso Robotics announced the Flippy Wings product line. Flippy Wings is the only robotic chicken wing frying solution designed from the ground up for high volume restaurants. Flippy Wings fries fresh, frozen or hand-breaded chicken products, avoiding cross contamination and increasing throughput while reducing costs. Using AI and computer vision, Flippy Wings automatically identifies food, picks it up, cooks it, and drops it off into designated hot holding areas. The result is a projected increase in food productions speeds of up to 20%. Flippy Wings is currently being tested with a restaurant partner, and is being tailored and tuned to specifications. 

The Company also introduced its Sippy product line in 2021. Sippy is the first of it's kind POS-integrated automatic beverage dispenser and sealer. Sippy features include a fully automatic cup conveyor that accommodates a range of cup sizes and accurately dispenses the correct cup as ordered, ice & liquid dispensing, a smart grouping staging area so team members can quickly and easily deliver drinks to guests, airtight cup sealing, and point of sale integration. The potential revenue from the Sippy product line is minimal compared to what could be possible from Flippy, and the degree to which this product line finds market adoption will not have a material impact on the overall success of the Company.

The Kitchen Assistant improves and learns over time based on the data available. Ultimately, this frees up kitchen staff to spend more time with customers. The Company believes the future of food is on-demand, accessible, personalized, and scalable. Miso is building the technology platform leveraging automation, machine learning, and robotics advancements to deliver this future.

Market

The United States Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) and fast-food industry experienced historic growth over the five years 2015 – 2019 and reached $273 billion in 2019, with the QSR market growing 4.1% annually during that period. Revenue in the industry is expected to drop to $239 billion in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the industry is expected to recover well as the United States economy improves and grow at a projected annual rate of 5.9% through 2025. While the amount of QSR establishments increased within the U.S to a total of 286,967 in 2019, the labor market for fast - food workers has tightened, creating a labor shortage for QSRs. This shortage can be attributed to multiple factors such as a low unemployment rate, fewer teenagers in the workforce, and a boom in restaurant openings. Miso Robotics is poised to help cure QSR owners and managers of this frustration and provide a solution to the lack of labor.

Labor expenses in a Quick Service Restaurant are currently greater than 25% of annual revenue, approximately $70.3B annually, a number that has remained relatively steady over the past 10 years according to IBISWorld’s 2020 Industry Report. While a QSR consists of many different employee positions, cooks specifically account for 60% of the total wage expense for a restaurant. Miso Robotics’ automation solution can help increase the throughput and efficiency of these cooks, bringing down this majority expense and increasing their profitability in the kitchen.

Restaurants already see a 150% turnover today from a dissatisfied workforce. Pair this with an aging workforce that cannot handle some of the physical demands that come with the job and commercial kitchens are struggling to recruit and retain talent. Intelligent automation not only creates an avenue for meaningful work for the next generation through the creation of new jobs like a Chef Tech (employees trained to manage the robot) but also takes the physical burden off more mature employees who want to contribute later in life.

Miso has also received interest in its newest product lines, Flippy Wings and Sippy, from large players in the industry. Through these additional product lines, Miso has created additional revenue opportunities within the QSR industry.

The tasks that Miso’s technology can perform are some of the most dangerous tasks in the kitchen, which ultimately improves the employee experience by freeing up time for them to focus on other work, like warm customer service that a robot can’t simply match.

Design and Development

Miso Robotics has built an autonomous kitchen assistant platform. On this platform, the Company has built NSF and ETL certified systems that grill burgers and operate the fryer. The autonomous cooking platform allows Miso to quickly develop new cooking skills. The Company has deployed systems to CaliBurger, Levy Restaurants, and White Castle. Miso has 13 patents pending, with four having been granted.

The Miso platform incorporates robotics with artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and data analytics to create products that make restaurants safer, easier and friendlier.

Miso Robotics has worked with NSF and ETL to get its kitchen assistants certified for use in commercial kitchens. The Company has deployed systems to CaliBurger, Levy Restaurants, and White Castle.

Miso continues to add new capabilities to the system, reduce its overall cost, and design easier ways to integrate it into more kitchen environments. Miso’s team of engineers is actively working on adding a 7th axis to a robot arm to increase the working area of the robot that will allow more end-to-end cooking.

Manufacturing

Miso currently manufactures the Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistant 2.0 using a third party manufacturing partner.

Miso currently manufactures our Flippy Wings, CookRight, and Sippy products in our facility. The Company’s manufacturing workshop is listed with NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and is also part of our ETL listing through Intertek. Both listings are regulatory requirements for utilizing the Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistants in a commercial kitchen.

The strategy for manufacturing will change over time dependent on production volumes and commitments. Miso’s pre-production products will be produced at our manufacturing facility while the Company works on the cost and quality of the manufacturing process.

The Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistants currently uses a six-axis robotic arm. The Miso Robotic Kitchen Assistant is robotic arm agnostic and does not require a specific robotic arm manufacturer. The Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistant software platform enables the Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistant to work with any robotic arm. The components used to create the Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistant are sourced through licensed manufacturers. This allows Miso Robotics manufacturing to focus on software requirements and work closely with contract manufacturers to execute the production of Miso Robotics Kitchen Assistants. The Company is actively pursuing new vendors for the various products used to create the Kitchen Assistant.

Sales & Marketing

Miso Robotics has already acquired three large customers who have also been helpful during the design, development, and testing of Flippy (More information about those customers in the customer section below). Regarding further sales and marketing, Miso Robotics has obtained an enormous interest in the press. Since the Company’s founding in 2016, Miso’s robotic kitchen assistant, also known as “Flippy”, has been featured in numerous news and media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, VentureBeat, USA Today, CBS News, BBC News, TechCrunch, The Spoon, and many more.

After piloting Flippy for several months at a location in the Midwestern United States in 2020, White Castle decided to expand its relationship with Miso and target up to ten additional locations at which to deploy Flippy. This decision further validates Miso’s value proposition and led to increased interest from additional potential customers.

Miso is currently engaged with 10 of the top 25 restaurant brands with dozens of pilots initiated with the largest and most innovative quick service and fast food restaurant chains globally.

Competition

Although there are several competitors who have built robotic machines for use in kitchens, none are as smart and versatile as Flippy from Miso Robotics. Flippy can essentially do anything a human arm can do, which allows us to market it to existing restaurants, creating a much larger market for our product. Our 10 patents pending (two approved) create an equally important barrier to entry against potential competition.

○    Total funding to date: $18.4 million

○    Creator has built a robotic burger maker that creates burgers in an assembly line fashion. The machine takes up a large footprint in a restaurant and it is not ideal to be sold to existing restaurants because it only makes one style of burger and is not versatile enough to make anything else.

○    Total funding to date: $25.9 million

○    Spyce is a robotic restaurant that creates vegetable-centric bowls. This company is not currently selling products to existing restaurants, which makes them an indirect competitor to Miso while it further validates the need for automation in the Kitchen.

○    Total funding to date: $20.8 million

○    Chowbotics uses robots to solve problems in food service including compromised cleanliness and inefficiency. It is targeting cafeterias, restaurants, and hotels. Its first robot, Sally, offers fully-customized, fresh and healthy salads. Similar to Creator, their current solutions are not versatile enough to compete with Miso.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis on Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Operating Results – Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2020

The Company generated minimal revenue through the period ended  December 31, 2019 as it ramped up business development activities. For the period ended December 31, 2020 the Company generated revenue of $298,752, the majority of this revenue was from multiple one-time consulting engagements and the Company’s deployed Flippy units.

Miso’s costs and expenses primarily consist of salaries from employees related to engineering, research and development, and business development. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company spent $679,101 on non-salary research and development related costs, $2,149,233 on salary research and development costs, which includes non-cash stock compensation costs, $4,274,587 in sales and marketing expenses primarily around marketing of its offering, and $2,690,096 on overhead, general & administrative, legal and non-engineering salaries.

Across 2020 the Company has continued to lower its operating expenses by cutting costs from legal & professional fees, contractors, marketing, rent, and office expenses. The Company saw its prototyping and research & development costs increase across 2020 as it continued to invest in its business development efforts and go-to-market strategy and expects those to continue to increase through the beginning of 2021. Since the period covered by our audited financial statements the company has maintained the lowered costs achieved across 2020 and continued to invest in business development efforts.

Operating Results – Fiscal Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2021

The Company continued to produce minimal revenue as it ramps up product and business development activities. Miso’s net revenue for the period ended June 30, 2021  was $0 (unaudited), compared to $75,500 in net revenue for the period ended June 30, 2020. The revenue of $75,500 earned in 2020 was from one-time consulting services provided. However, the Company is in the process of changing its pricing model with key customers, from a higher upfront cost and lower monthly service fee, to a pricing model that is heavily weighted on a monthly service fee, with a lower upfront fee for delivery and installation. The Company plans to roll this out in the 4th quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, when it believes it will start to generate more consistent revenue from operations.

Since the period covered by our audited financial statements the Company has increased its operating expenses due primarily to increased expenses related to hiring, mostly across research & development and engineering. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (unaudited), the Company had $5,915,767 in operating expenses, with $3,227,898 from Research and Development related expenses, $331,850 from Sales and Marketing expenses, and $2,356,019 from General and Administrative expenses. This is compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, which had overall lower expenses, with a total of $3,166,706, spread across $1,199,480 from Research and Development, $743,981 from Sales and Marketing, and $1,223,245 from General and Administrative.

Overall, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a net loss of $6,265,226, as compared to a net loss of $3,421,240 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. As discussed above, this was primarily related to increased hiring costs across research and development and general and administration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2020

As of December 31, 2020, the Company's cash on hand was $1,767,841, compared with $2,021,777 as of December 31, 2019. The Company also had an investment receivable from its Series C financing round of $7,469,164. These funds hit the Company’s main operating account in January 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had closed on $16,687,877 from its Regulation A+ financing round, offering Series C Preferred Stock.

In the last quarter of 2019, the Company closed on $2,744,667 of debt from a variety of its existing investors and related parties. This debt is in the form of promissory notes that bear 10% interest per annum, have a two-year term, and include the issuance of 1,917,433 common warrants. Details of this transaction can be found in the Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions section of this Form 1-K. With proceeds from the Regulation A+ offering, the Company paid back $1,222,465.28, comprised of principal of $1,062,500 and interest of $159,965.28, to Rise of Miso, LLC in March 2021. In April 2021, the Company converted principal of $2,422,148.28 and accrued interest of $272,709 of venture debt to Series C Preferred Stock at a per share price of $13.728, a 20% discount to the offering per share price of $17.16, into 196,300 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. As of the date of this Offering Circular, this total debt from a variety of existing investors and related parties is $150,000, which is due to be repaid by September 30, 2021.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $298,752, compared with nearly $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. As discussed above, the Company reduced operating expenses across 2019 and 2020 and had an infusion of capital in the form of promissory notes. In March 2020, the Company’s Offering Circular was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As of June 30, 2021, the Company had raised $17,304,672 from the sale of its Series C Preferred Stock, issuing a total of 1,518,093 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fiscal Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2021

As of June 30, 2021, the company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $6,885,371, compared with $1,767,841 as of December 31, 2020.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents over this period was due to proceeds from the Company’s Series C financing round. Additionally, the Company had $1,445,175 of current liabilities as of June 30, 2021, as compared to $4,114,134 as of December 31, 2020. The biggest change in current liabilities was related to the Company’s outstanding venture debt. The Company also saw an increase in accounts payable during the six-months ended June 30, 2021, from $86,330 to $802,551, mostly related to increased operating expenses from vendors with net payment terms. Additionally, the Company had $31,184 in related party accounts payable as of June 30, 2021, which is lower than the $128,716 in related party accounts payable it had as of December 31, 2020. Finally, the Company’s inventory rose to $666,366 from $418,032 during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 as it continues to build units for eventual pilot deployment with a number of customers.

The Company filed a Form 1-A POS with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a Regulation A+ financing round in May 2021, in which the Company offered Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $56.62 per share. This offering was qualified by the SEC on May 28, 2021. In October 2021 the Company increased the price per share in the offering for Series D Preferred Stock to $67.94 per share. The Company received proceeds of approximately $25,250,721 from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock in the offering, which concluded on November 18, 2021.

In September 2021 the Company filed a Form 253G2 to identify that the Company was raising funds in a concurrent offering under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company closed on approximately $697,852 from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock in this offering, which also concluded on November 18, 2021.

Plan of Operations

To date, Miso has generated minimal revenues. The Company is growing quickly and continues to hire a large team of engineers. Its engineering and product development teams have focused on developing new generations of our automated kitchen assistants, as well as new product lines like CookRight, Flippy Wings, and Sippy, as well as developing intellectual property. The funds previously raised have enabled Miso to aggressively pursue top engineering talent, and the Company has grown its overall team from 31 to 91 full-time employees across the past year, including hiring a new Chief Technology Officer. Additionally, the funds from previous raises enabled the Company to continue to pursue its product and business development goals.

In June 2021 Miso announced the commercial availability of its CookRight software as a standalone offering, and in the same month announced its plan to build an intelligence-backed, automated beverage dispenser that will bring enhanced functionality for commercial kitchens. In October 2021 Miso unveiled the Flippy Wings product line. The first Flippy Wings unit is currently being tested with a corporate partner, and being tailored and tuned to specifications. The Company hopes to pilot a Flippy Wings unit in a test kitchen in early 2022, with the goal of deploying a unit to a standalone restaurant location in 2022. The Company is also working to develop its Sippy product line. The potential revenue from the Sippy product line is minimal compared to what could be possible from Flippy, and the degree to which this product line finds market adoption will not have a material impact on the overall success of the Company.

If we raise the maximum offering amount through this offering, we believe that we would be able to accelerate the product development our newest lines of business, as well as increase production velocity of our flagship product, Flippy. Miso has continued to see increased interest in its products both domestically and internationally, and additional funding will allow us to continue to engage with more partners and customers. In addition, we would anticipate not needing to raise additional capital for the business. If we raise less than 50% of the maximum, however, we would likely need to raise additional funds within 6 to 18 months.

Trend Information

The Company’s primary focus is to execute its go-to-market strategy by continuing to pursue additional commercial agreements in additional to those discussed throughout this offering circular. The Company is currently targeting quick service restaurants (QSRs), larger restaurant chains, systems integrators, and food and restaurant supply producers as potential customers. Miso has also entered into partnership agreements with complementary organizations in an effort to improve food safety an accessibility in robotics.

The Company saw a significant spike in commercial interest during the year ended December 31, 2020. The most notable result of this interest was the commercial agreement entered into with White Castle, America’s first fast-food burger chain, which is discussed further below.

In May of 2020 Miso Robotics signed a three-year partnership agreement with PathSpot Technologies to work on integrating PathSpot’s sanitizing scanning technology with Miso's kitchen automation assistants. The goal of the partnership is to help enforce proper hand washing etiquette and ensure effective hand sanitation amongst the human employees that work alongside Flippy.

In June of 2020 Miso Robotics became an approved vendor of TimePayment, a provider of equipment leasing and financing services, to offer low to zero-interest financing to its customers.

In June of 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with White Castle to develop, pilot, and undertake a beta rollout of Miso Robotics' Flippy robot for White Castle's North American restaurants.

In October of 2020, Miso Robotics announced global commercial availability of the Flippy Overhead Robot-on-a-Rail (OHROAR).

In October of 2020, Miso Robotics and White Castle announced plans to expand implementations of Miso’s autonomous kitchen assistant, Flippy. Miso and White Castle will target up to 10 new locations as part of a beta rollout of Flippy to White Castle’s North American restaurants.

In June 2021 Miso announced the commercial availability of its CookRight software as a standalone offering.

In June 2021 Miso announced its plans to build an intelligence-backed automated beverage dispenser that will bring enhanced functionality for commercial kitchens.

In October 2021 Miso announced its Flippy Wings product line.

Across 2019 and 2020, the Company earned non-recurring revenues from robotics consulting services provided. In H1 2021 the Company ceased providing these services to focus on upcoming deployments of Flippy. The Company began generating revenue again in H2 2021, all of which was related to installation fees and SaaS revenue.

The restaurant and food services industry is ripe for disruption, especially as labor costs increase and the overall pool of labor in the industry because scarce. The Company believes it is in a unique position to take advantage of changes in the industry by helping future customers increase labor utilization, decrease labor costs, and improve overall throughput and profitability.

i) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Preferred Stock as would equal the product of:

(A) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and

Right to Receive Liquidation Preferences

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and on a pari passu basis with the Series B Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Series E Original Issue Price, Series D Original Issue Price, or Series C Original Issue Price, respectively, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, or Series C Preferred Stock, respectively been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series E Liquidation Amount”, “Series D Liquidation Amount”, or “Series C Liquidation Amount”, respectively).

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

Anti-Dilution Rights

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have the benefit of anti-dilution protective provisions that will be applied to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock. If equity securities are subsequently issued by the Company at a price per share less than the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock then in effect, the Conversion Price of the affected series of Preferred Stock will be adjusted using a broad-based, weighted-average adjustment formula as set out in the Restated Certificate.

Common Stock

General

The dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers, and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights

Each holder of the Company’s Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholder, except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation as outlined above.

The company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

Exclusive Jurisdiction

Under Article 12 of our Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the sole and exclusive judicial forum for the following actions will be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware:

(1) Any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company;

(2) Any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders;

(3) Any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or certificate of incorporation, or bylaws; or

(4) Any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, for any reason, the Delaware Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction over an action, then the action may be brought in other federal or state courts with appropriate personal or subject matter jurisdiction.

We believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the company.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

To the Board of Directors of

Miso Robotics, Inc.

Pasadena, California

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Miso Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $10,684,792 and $6,990,832 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,341,232, current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,746,922, and has collateralized debt with outstanding principal of $3,634,648 due in 2021. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Miso Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 20, 2016 as Super Volcano, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company changed its name to Miso Robotics, Inc. on October 3, 2016. The Company develops and manufactures artificial intelligence-driven robots that assist chefs to make food at restaurants. The Company is headquartered in Pasadena, California.

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $10,684,792 and $6,990,832 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,341,232, current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,746,922, and has collateralized debt with outstanding principal of $3,634,648 due in 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company’s fiscal year is December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuations of common stock and stock options. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held at one accredited financial institution. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had cash of $1,517,841 and $1,771,777, respectively, in excess of federally insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are derived from products and services delivered to customers and are stated at their net realizable value. Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $63,491 and $26,875, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the specific identification cost method. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, inventory consisted of robotic raw materials purchased from the Company’s suppliers. Management reviews its inventory for obsolescence and impairment as it is determined necessary.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset, as follows:

Estimated useful lives are periodically assessed to determine if changes are appropriate. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of these assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the balance sheet and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations loss in the period of disposal.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments (collectively known as “ASC 606”), effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach applied to all contracts. Therefore, the reported results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 reflect the application of ASC 606. Management determined that there were no retroactive adjustments necessary to revenue recognition upon the adoption of the ASU 2014-09. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.

The Company derives its revenue from hardware and software usage of its installed units as well as consulting services. Sales tax is collected on sales in California and these taxes are recorded as a liability until remitted.

Hardware

Each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recorded at the point in time when products are installed as the Company has determined that this is the point that control transfers to the customer. The Company invoices customers upon delivery of the products, and payments from such customers are due upon invoicing. Orders or set-up fees that have been paid but performance obligations have not been met are recorded to deferred revenue.

Software

Software as a service (SaaS) and usage fees are recognized as revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized monthly over the life of the contract. Service fees that have been invoiced or paid but performance obligations have not been met are recorded to deferred revenue.

Consulting

Consulting services are recognized at the point in time when the performance obligation has been completed.

Disaggregation of Revenue
