CaliExpress by Flippy, the world’s first fully autonomous restaurant, is set to open its doors in Southern California this month, utilizing the most advanced systems in food technology.
The restaurant is operated by restaurant technology company Cali Group, Miso Robotics – creator of AI-powered robotic fry station Flippy, and PopID – which provides biometrics verification solutions.
Located on Green Street in Pasadena, the venue features fully automated grill and fry stations powered by proprietary AI and robotics.
The menu includes freshly made burgers and cheeseburgers based on a wagyu blend, and french fries made from top grade potatoes.
Customers will make orders and pay with their PopID accounts at self-service kiosks, as well as watch their food being cooked robotically.
The kitchen is run by a smaller crew, in a less stressful environment, while also providing above average wages.
There will also be dancing robot arms from retired Flippy units, experimental 3D-printed artifacts from past development, and photographic displays.
“AI-powered, robotic order-taking and cooking enables the major chains that feed America to substantially improve quality, consistency and speed,” said Rich Hull, CEO of Miso Robotics.
“The marriage 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,” added John Miller, CEO of PopID.
