Generation NEXT: MEET THE FUTURE OF FROYO RETAILING

Far-seeing franchise brand group Generation NEXT’s robotic Reis and Irvy’s franchise is restarting the frozen yogurt business

Since its launch in early 2016, Reis & Irvy’s (a subsidiary brand of US franchisor Generation NEXT Franchise Brands) has been positioned as ‘The Future of Frozen Yogurt’ offering consumers and the marketplace an on-the-go and on-demand frozen product that’s disrupting a stagnant frozen yogurt industry. Gone are the days of the ‘brick and mortar’ frozen yogurt shops, which will now be replaced with a high-tech, novelty experience in which customers everywhere can customize their creations to be built and served by a robot.

At the heart of every Reis and Irvy’s franchise is the technology. Never before seen in the marketplace, the Froyo Robot is a self-contained robotic marvel, serving seven different flavors of delicious creamy frozen yogurt, ice cream, gelato, soft serve or sorbet and offering customers up to six choices of delicious add-on toppings. From its interactive touchscreen ordering system, to the creation of a 12-oz. serving of deliciousness, the Froyo Robot offers customers an advanced point of sale vending experience, enhanced and presented through a multi-sensory journey of fun and entertainment. This, combined with a serving time of just under 60 seconds makes it a game-changer in the world of on-the-go frozen.

The Reis & Irvy’s Froyo Robot was designed to not only ensure the efficient delivery of quality frozen treats, but also to adapt to almost any environment or location. From movie theaters, malls, cafeterias, college campuses, tourist attractions and airports…the Froyo Robot is designed to blend in conveniently in any retail or high-traffic space. This adaptability allows its network of national and international franchisees and licensees the opportunity to place the machine into premiere locations around the world.

Self-efficient and self-cleaning, the Froyo Robot works so that the operators don’t have to! Even better, each unit comes with a built-in Wi-Fi modem, enabling remote monitoring of the Froyo Robot, its inventory and its transactions, and allowing operators more time for themselves.

In April of last year, the company debuted the Reis & Irvy’s Froyo Robot, the world’s first fully-automated robotic frozen yogurt vending machine created solely through the implementation and execution of design and utility patents secured by the company. The robot met with an overwhelming response from operators and consumers alike, who were waiting for the perfect disruption to the stagnant world of brick and mortar yogurt outlets. So much so that to date, the company has pre-sold over 800 units across the United States and Canada and has recently secured its first international Master Licensees, in Israel, Oman and Canada.

Robotic vending

The time is now right for anyone within international markets to take advantage of this unique and exclusive opportunity, with Reis & Irvy’s offering Master Licensing programs around the world. The demand for frozen yogurt has never been greater and the resurgence of robotics and robotic vending means that this is a concept with long-term prospects and strong consumer loyalty.

Make no mistake about it, the robot revolution upon us and it’s creating serious money-making opportunities for savvy investors everywhere. Driverless cars, drones and robotic surgical arms are already disrupting how consumers live their lives, interact with brands and engage with products. And this is just the beginning. Robotics is an incredibly exciting and exponentially growing market. And one which has been proven highly successful by our own Reis & Irvy’s Froyo Robots.

Adding to that success is a company focused on turn-key solutions and ensuring support from its corporate office and team of over 50 employees. Reis & Irvy’s provides its national and international licensees with customized resources and materials that include websites, sales scripts, location procurement assistance, operating and training manuals and a plethora of marketing guidance.

Reis & Irvy’s also supports its franchise network through key strategic partnerships in both manufacturing, global logistics and support. The company recently announced an exclusive manufacturing partnership with Flex, Ltd., for the engineering and production of all Reis & Irvy’s Froyo Robots. Flex, Ltd. is the Sketch-to-Scale™ solutions provider that designs and builds Intelligent Products for a Connected World™. With approximately $24 billion in annual revenue and 200,000 professionals across 30 countries, Flex, Ltd. provides innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services to companies of all sizes in various industries and end-markets.

Generation NEXT

Nick Yates, Chairman and Founder of Generation NEXT Franchise Brands (and parent company to Reis & Irvy’s) believes the opportunity for qualified franchisees is evident with current market conditions. “The overwhelming response to our frozen yogurt robots across the US and Internationally is proving that we have the right concept at the right time. Frozen yogurt is a commodity that never loses its appeal. We’ve taken that consumer demand and combined it with revolutionary robotic technology to give customers a new experience in frozen treats. Now is the time for Reis & Irvy’s.”
