how it starteD
It started in 2000 when founder Chris Martin set out to bring airbrush body art to hospitality. Working at tourist hotspots such as Hard Rock Cafe & Margaritaville in Myrtle Beach, SC he was soon blown away by the consumer demand and the impact it had for the businesses, the happy customers, and the charitable causes we supported.
NEED FOR AUTOMATION
What we found was despite the enormous consumer demand & the quantifiable impact it had for the businesses, operating consistently was difficult. We needed a scalable solution that was automated & consistent.
What we built
We built & piloted iTATU to bring the proven advantage of automation & robotics into the ($1.2B) body-art market as they have in the hospitality sector.
Interactive kiosks are experiencing tremendous growth throughout the world with analysts expecting a 7%+ CAGR over the next decade, on top of the previous decade of explosive growth.
These machines dispense products or solutions that are far beyond what anyone would have expected: fresh baked foods, cocktails, pharmaceuticals, electronics and more.
our business model
We sell, lease, or (at qualified locations) place the iTATU kiosks free of charge. Our model maintains a low cost to consumers, a revenue share to local charitable organization with every purchase, & valuable guest experiences & marketing opportunities to each hosting location/venue.
where were are going
In 2022 we joined the Aspire HTC Hub, and have since built a rockstar team with deep experience in unattended retail & interactive kiosk space.
Our team is now poised to launch our production model that will meet the huge consumer demand. With venues already committed, iTATU is ready to bring a next-level experience to consumers in mid-2024!
