At a glance
Key benefits
What the XBOT IC60 changes for your venue
Labour-free operation
Serves soft serve to order with no staffed counter — the machine runs itself through opening hours, breaks and quiet periods.
Consistent product quality
The same portion, swirl and finish on every serve, so quality never depends on who is on shift or how busy it is.
Improved hygiene
Fully automated dispensing means no hands on the product and a closed, easy-to-clean food path — a real step up over a staffed counter.
Compact footprint
A complete dessert operation in a small self-contained kiosk — a few square metres of floor space, not a built-out kitchen.
Extended operating hours
Keeps serving during staff breaks, late openings and shoulder periods when a staffed counter would not pay for itself.
Fast service
Automated dispensing keeps queues moving in high-footfall environments, so a peak rush doesn't become a lost sale.
High visual impact
The machine is the experience — customers come to watch the serve, photograph it and share it. That draws footfall in its own right.
Global deployments
Proven in commercial installations worldwide, with an established supply and support chain behind it.
Built to keep up
Designed for high-footfall environments
The XBOT IC60 is engineered for the days when footfall spikes — school holidays, bank-holiday weekends, peak season. Large mix capacity, fast replenishment and an industrial cooling system mean it keeps serving when a staffed counter would be queueing and out of mix.
- 100+ servings between refills
- Fast replenishment
- Industrial cooling system
- High uptime
- Fully automated dispensing
Uptime and throughput, engineered in
The industrial cooling system holds temperature through long service runs, so quality stays consistent from the first serve to the hundredth. Fully automated dispensing removes the slow, variable hand-work of a staffed counter, and 100+ servings between refills means your team isn't constantly topping up.
For multi-site operators, every machine reports to the same view — so attraction groups and estate teams manage a fleet the way they manage one.
Draws a crowd
Visual impact that drives footfall
A robotic ice cream machine isn't just a serving point — it's the experience. Customers stop to watch the serve, photograph it and share it. That's earned marketing, not paid marketing.
Custom branding
Digital signage
Themed cups
Promotional messaging

Where the XBOT IC60 earns its footprint
One compact unit, sited where the footfall already is — and priced on impulse purchases rather than staffed hours.
The business case
Why businesses choose robotic ice cream
Labour shortages
Seasonal and leisure sites are among the hardest places to staff in the UK. The XBOT IC60 delivers a full dessert offer without recruiting, training or scheduling a server.
Rising labour costs
With wage and National Living Wage increases, every staffed counter costs more each year. Automation fixes your cost per serve.
Inconsistent quality
Human-served soft serve varies by person, shift and workload. A robotic ice cream machine serves the same portion every single time.
Peakrush queues
Automated dispensing keeps people moving on busy days when a staffed counter would back up and lose sales.
Limited trading hours
A staffed counter only earns while it's open. The XBOT IC60 trades through breaks, late openings and shoulder periods without overtime.
Need to stand out
In a crowded attraction or retail concourse, a robotic ice cream machine is a reason to stop — the serve itself draws footfall and social shares.

Return on investment
Soft serve robot business ROI, modelled for your footfall
Illustrative examples based on an average selling price of £4 per cup and ingredient, cup and consumable costs of £1 per serve, trading every day of the year. The payback period is shown against a purchase price of £21,999 + VAT. Your actual numbers depend on your pricing, footfall and site.
| Cups per day | Daily revenue | Annual revenue | Annual COGS | Annual gross profit | Payback (purchase) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 cups/day | £210 | £76,650 | £19,710 | £56,940 | 0.4 yrs |
| 80 cups/day | £280 | £102,200 | £26,280 | £75,920 | 0.3 yrs |
| 100 cups/day | £350 | £127,750 | £32,850 | £94,900 | 0.2 yrs |
We'll build a model around your own footfall, pricing and costs as part of a free site survey — so the business case you sign off is yours, not a brochure number.
Straightforward pricing, two ways to pay
The XBOT IC60 is available to purchase from £21,999 + VAT, or on a Profit Share Model with no upfront investment. Either way, Fresh Mango Robotics supplies, installs and supports it from our UK service desk.
XBOT IC60 questions, answered
- How much does a robotic ice cream machine cost?
- The XBOT IC60 is available to purchase from £21,999 + VAT, giving you full ownership and control of pricing and promotions. If you'd rather not buy the machine outright, our Profit Share Model lets you start earning immediately with no upfront investment — support and maintenance are included either way. We'll confirm the right option for your site at the free site survey.
- How many servings can the machine produce?
- The XBOT IC60 holds enough mix for 100+ servings between refills, with fast replenishment so downtime between top-ups is short. The industrial cooling system and fully automated dispensing keep throughput and uptime high, even on busy days. We'll model expected daily volume around your footfall as part of the survey.
- Can branding be customised?
- Yes. The machine supports custom branding, digital signage, themed cups, promotional messaging and seasonal campaigns — so it can carry your venue's identity or a time-limited offer. Branding is part of how the machine drives footfall, not just a serving point.
- Can the machine work without staff?
- Yes — that's the point. Fully automated dispensing means no staffed counter is needed to serve. Day-to-day it needs mix and consumable replenishment and a short cleaning routine your own team can complete; Fresh Mango Robotics handles planned servicing and support from our UK service desk.
- What maintenance is required?
- Day-to-day, the machine needs mix and cup replenishment and routine cleaning — a short daily routine your own team can complete. Fresh Mango Robotics provides planned servicing and support from our UK service desk, with remote diagnostics first and an engineer visit where needed. Under the Profit Share Model, maintenance is included.
- Can Fresh Mango Robotics manage the operation?
- Yes. We survey your site, deliver and install the XBOT IC60, configure branding and pricing, train your team on replenishment and cleaning, and support it long-term from our UK service desk. Under the Profit Share Model we can also manage the operation end-to-end — you provide the site, we do the rest.
