MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- A fully-automated coffee shop opened its second location in Brookfield and has plans to break ground on a third location in Hales Corners by the end of the year.

Robots at Octane Coffee handle every order.

The idea was brewed in Octane founder Adrian Deasy's Waukesha home in 2018.

Customers place their orders on the Octane Coffee app before arriving at the café, receive a QR code, and scan it at the window to receive their coffee.

The app uses GPS to track the customer's location, to start making the coffee at the optimal time for pickup.

Deasy, with just one or two engineers at the start, opened Octane's first location in Pewaukee in 2023.
