In the remarkable event, CaliExpress is the first restaurant in the world to use robots and AI to run their food business.
According to the statement, CaliExpress will be run entirely by robots and AI, including ordering to food processing.
"BurgerBot" and "Flippy" that were manufactured by Miso Robotics will be the chefs in charge of customers' burger and potato dishes.
These robots use arms and sensor systems to process food according to customer requests.
As an outstanding technological product, Miso Robotics, a maker of kitchen robots, praised "BurgerBot" and "Flippy" are ground-breaking, smart commercial kitchen robots that cook items from french fries to chicken nuggets and work alongside humans to enhance quality and consistency, while creating substantial, measurable cost savings for restaurants.
He also emphasized that the purpose of using robots is to prevent employees from potential cooking risks, such as working near grills and hot oil.
Additionally, the presence of robots and AI also helps the restaurant significantly reduce costs and employee payment, facilitating high-quality products such as Wagyu beef.
Not only is CaliExpress equipped with advanced robotics technology, but customers can also place orders and check out through PopID stations.
With this high-tech payment machine, customers can easily set up a personal profile with a photo, payment, and membership information, they can place orders using just their face.
CEO of PopID and board member of Miso Robotics affirmed: "The combination of these various technologies to create the most autonomous restaurant in the world is the culmination of years of research, development, and investment in a family of revolutionary companies."
Vice President of Product Development at Miso Robotics, Alana Abbitt, also shared that although robots are an important part of restaurant operations, there will still be human staff present to assist customers promptly.
These employees will help pack food and create friendliness toward customers.
"It's not a Terminator, it's not a Transformer. It's a very friendly and helpful robot.
"There are amazing robots, there are Roombas, there are things in your home that have become part of everyday life. That's what we're trying to do," he concluded.
Although CaliExpress was initially set to open this month, a spokesperson confirmed to Forbes that the restaurant will open “soon.”
