One company at the forefront of this transformation is Nightfood Holdings Inc., which has introduced a vertically integrated model that combines hotel ownership with Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS). Through its subsidiary, Skytech Automated Solutions, Nightfood is embedding guest-facing robots in its hotels, including food runners and laundry assistants. Its first flagship project is a planned acquisition of a 155-room Holiday Inn in Victorville, California — to be converted into a Courtyard by Marriott – which will showcase the company’s AI-enabled automation systems.
To scale these innovations across its portfolio, Nightfood has partnered with Bear Robotics, supporting a roadmap to expand its real estate holdings to $80 million. The firm’s second major acquisition is a Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Mirage, near Disney’s upcoming Cotino community, positioning the company for tourism-driven growth.
Nightfood’s approach is not to retrofit automation onto existing properties, but to design and operate hotels around AI and robotics from inception. The company’s RaaS model generates recurring revenue by deploying service robots on a subscription basis, decoupled from occupancy rates. This provides financial resilience while elevating operational efficiency. The robots, developed by Skytech, handle tasks such as deliveries, concierge services, and room cleaning, allowing staff to focus on higher-value guest engagement.
These technologies also serve as a testing ground for wider market deployment. Once proven effective within Nightfood’s own hotels, the systems can be licensed to third-party operators, adding an additional revenue stream.
The company’s executive team brings deep expertise in hospitality development and asset management, having developed over 50 hotels and managed more than 130 properties. This experience underpins Nightfood’s strategic acquisitions and operational decisions, ensuring scalability and consistent performance.
Nightfood’s strategy echoes broader industry trends, with global brands like Starbucks, Domino’s, Airbnb, and Richtech Robotics also investing in AI-powered solutions to streamline service, personalize experiences, and resolve labor challenges. Starbucks has launched a generative AI assistant for in-store employees, Domino’s is using AI to optimize ordering and store management, Airbnb is evolving into an AI-driven super-app, and Richtech has deployed modular hotel service robots.
As AI and automation become central to hospitality’s evolution, Nightfood Holdings is positioning itself not only as a hotel operator but as a technology innovator, blending real estate investment with scalable digital infrastructure. Its integrated model offers a blueprint for the hospitality sector’s future – one where smart automation and human service co-exist to deliver elevated, efficient, and responsive guest experiences.
