I love you, bot.

Hookers and blackjack coming soon.

Every day is pizza day here!!! That’s what makes us a “Great Place to Work” (GPTW^TM)

Would you care for a chair massage?

the best part…

“The CaliExpress by Flippy location will also double as a pseudo-museum experience presented by Miso Robotics. Guests can see dancing robot arms, experimental 3D-printed artifacts, photographic displays and more.”
