• Nightfood advances their $80 million hotel acquisitions to serve as live labs for its AI-robotics platform
• FHVH (RoboOp365) debuted AI-driven kitchen and culinary training systems at the California Restaurant Show, boosting visibility in the $400B U.S. foodservice sector
• Integrated model combines hotel ownership, robotics-as-a-service, and educational partnerships for scalable value across hospitality and consumer goods

As rising wages, labor shortages, and shifting guest expectations strain traditional hospitality operations, forward-thinking companies are moving aggressively to automate. AI-powered robotics and automation are rapidly becoming indispensable tools for efficiency, consistency, and cost control. In this evolving landscape, Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) is positioning itself not only as a deployer of automation technology but as an integrated owner‑operator shaping the industry’s future.

By owning hotel assets, deploying robotics systems directly, and entering educational partnerships, NGTF is creating a vertically aligned ecosystem built for the age of AI-powered hospitality.

Strategic Hotel Acquisitions: Creations of Automation Testbeds

Nightfood is on track to finalize acquisitions of two flagship hotel properties in Victorville and Rancho Mirage, California, totaling approximately $80 million in institutional-quality assets. These properties will serve as live deployment environments for its AI‑powered service robotics platform, anchoring its Robotics-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) model and reinforcing long-term infrastructure for revenue growth.

This dual model, owning the assets and operating the automation, enables Nightfood to demonstrate real-world hospitality efficiency gains while reducing reliance on legacy labor models.

RoboOp365 Debuts in Anaheim: The Next Phase for AI-Kitchens

Through its subsidiary Future Hospitality Ventures Holdings Inc. (“FHVH”), operating as RoboOp365, Nightfood showcased its AI-robotic culinary and service systems at the California Restaurant Show from August 3–5, 2025. On display are live demonstrations of its fully automated kitchens and a joint venture in formation with Los Angeles Cooking School under the banner Modern Culinary Systems Inc.

This venture aims to be the first U.S. culinary education platform grounded in AI-robotics, addressing a rapidly growing $32.5 billion foodservice training market.

AI + Automation Market Forces Align with Nightfood’s Model

The broader markets underpinning Nightfood’s strategy are expanding rapidly:

• Service robotics, including hospitality delivery, cleaning, and concierge robots, are projected to grow from $47 billion in 2023 to almost $108 billion by 2030. That translates to a steady CAGR around 12‑13%.
• Focused hospitality robots are growing even faster, with projections from $0.72 billion in 2024 to $5.56 billion by 2033 (CAGR 25.5%), and broader hospitality robotics estimates reaching $2.57 billion by 2034 at 17.5% CAGR.
• The AI for sales and marketing segment alone is forecast to expand from $58 billion in 2025 to $240 billion by 2030 (CAGR 32.9%), reflecting explosive demand for intelligent engagement across business verticals.

Vertical Integration as a Competitive Advantage

Nightfood is pursuing a multi-layered growth model:

1. Acquire assets: Hotels in California anchor real operations and recurring revenue opportunities.
2. Deploy technology: AI-robotics systems are embedded operationally, reducing labor friction and improving efficiency.
3. Monetize insights: Through service robotics subscriptions and data-driven operational optimizations.
4. Drive educational innovation: Modern Culinary Systems bridges training and deployment, creating a talent pipeline aligned with automation realities.

This vertical model allows Nightfood to validate robotic systems in proprietary assets, capture downstream economics from RaaS contracts, and supply culinary institutions and operators trained to work within its ecosystem.

Why It Matters Now

Hospitality labor costs have risen sharply (with some estimates up 22% since 2019), while hotels and restaurants increasingly prioritize guest experiences shaped by efficient service.

Against this backdrop, Nightfood’s properties-plus-robotics strategy directly addresses market pressure points: unsustainable labor models, inconsistent service quality, and the high cost of scaling traditional operations.

Moreover, the educational partnership with LA Cooking School offers a forward‑looking solution to the shortage of workers trained for AI‑augmented workflows, creating workforce readiness where most institutions lag.

Bottom Line: Automation from Assets to Classrooms

Nightfood Holdings is staking a unique claim in the hospitality automation space by combining hotel ownership, robotics deployment, and culinary education. As robotics markets explode and AI-driven operational models become standard, Nightfood’s vertically integrated strategy offers a differentiated play across property, platform, and people.
