That’s why it’s worked more than 150k hours in real-world kitchens for brands like White Castle and Jack in the Box. Now, Miso is ready to scale production on its newest Flippy yet. It’s 50% smaller, 2X faster, and 75% easier to install. No wonder industry buyers sold out its first production run in just 7 days.
