How I transformed my pizzeria and saved $4K a month with one robot
During my recent visit to Detroit, MI, I had the privilege of meeting Adam Matt, one of our first customers and the owner of the iconic Slice of the 80’s pizzeria in Westland, MI. We spent time discussing his experience with the xPizza Cube, gathering insights on potential improvements for future models, and hearing first-hand how the robot is changing his business.
The question I was most eager to explore—and one many of you are likely curious about—is whether the xPizza Cube is truly alleviating labor shortages while maintaining the quality and consistency of the pizzas.
Here’s what Adam had to say:
*"During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we faced severe staff shortages. Some of our employees left, and hiring replacements was a constant struggle. When I saw the xPizza Cube ad in PMQ magazine, I was intrigued. After researching it and getting in touch, we decided to bring the Cube into our pizzeria.

Despite my initial concerns, the team quickly embraced it, especially the younger staff who are more tech-savvy and enjoy using touchscreen technology. Unlike the old sauce machine we had, the Cube does everything—it sauces the pizza, adds the exact amount of cheese, and even slices and places pepperoni. These tasks, which used to be time-consuming and physically demanding, are now handled with precision.
What surprised me the most was how much time it saved during our rush hours. I no longer need to bring in extra staff because the robot handles the heavy lifting, allowing my team to focus on other tasks. My calculations show we save around $4,000 a month on labor alone. Plus, the Cube helps us save on cheese costs—every pizza gets the exact same amount, no matter who’s running it. That consistency reduces waste and ensures we don’t need extensive training for new hires. All they need to do is press a few buttons, and the Cube makes a perfect pizza every time!”*
