We are creating a new consumer experience where grab-and-go food meets robotics. Rather than waiting in line for an off-the-shelf product, teaBOT’s customers get a made-to-order cup at the touch of a button.”
Those sites look amazing and it looks like each of them are being used by well established businesses/companies.
This goes to show you the importance of analyzing a domain even before you buy and making sure that a business, company or brand will find the domain useful and valuable. Thanks for the great information.
