The planned expansion begins with a signed agreement in Singapore that plans for up to 50 locations over the next decade. Simultaneously, Roasting Plant Coffee is seeking operating partners in the United Kingdom and continuing discussions in the Middle East. The company differentiates itself through proprietary Javabot automation technology that roasts premium specialty coffee inside each café and brews each cup to order in under one minute. Customers can see, hear, and smell the roasting process before receiving a [personalized beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-free-coffee) made from any single-origin bean or blend. In reference to the global acceleration strategy, Doug Satzman, CEO of Roasting Plant Coffee, shares: "Our retail success in the U.S. and UK, combined with our vertically integrated business model, including the design, development and manufacturing of our proprietary Javabot™ system, have put us in a unique position for scalable growth around the world."
