California's First Fully Automated Restaurant to Open Soon with Robotic Chefs and Facial Recognition Orders
-
CaliExpress in California will be the world's first fully automated restaurant where robots handle all cooking and orders. Customers can order via facial recognition.
-
Robots called "BurgerBot" and "Flippy" will cook all the food like burgers and fries. Flippy can fry food and work alongside humans.
-
Customers can create facial recognition profiles at PopID stations to order just using their face. Profiles store payment info and loyalty data.
-
Having robot workers instead of human cooks reduces dangers from hot oil and cut labor costs, allowing higher quality ingredients like Wagyu beef.
-
While completely automated, the restaurant will still have some human staff to help pack food and serve as a friendly face. Opening is soon after delays.
