Seattle-based Picnic™, an innovator of food production technology and Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) solutions, unveiled today the first-of-its-kind intelligent end-to-end automated assembly platform for the food service and hospitality industries. The compact, freestanding system integrates Picnic’s issued U.S. patent and other U.S. and international patent-pending modular, configurable equipment, with its software, cloud and deep learning technology, and is available to customers with no upfront costs. The platform will initially focus on the production of high-volume, customizable pizzas, made with any kind of ingredients, consistently and sequentially, at a rate of up to 180 18” or 300 12” pizzas per hour.

I’ve seen videos of this pizza robot and a burger joint robot system. Very efficient.
These are totally being driven by the $15.00 an hour movement and, the Unionize franchise employee movement.
How many plastics were created to make it? Greenies won’t be pleased.
What’s the cost to customers? I made a pepperoni/bell pepper/onion/mushroom from scratch last night. Yes, took longer than the robot made but didn’t dip into my wallet for more than maybe a dollar and a delivery guy didn’t have to add to globull warming.
I can see mid-range hotels benefiting from this; Courtyard and Holiday Inn Express and others like them with minimal kitchen facilities would love to offer pizzas at all hours and these machines are a way to do that.
And delivered by drones. What happens when a Domino’s drone and a Papa John’s drone collide on the way to similar addresses?
Will the Robot spit machine oil on your pizza?................
Yup,that $15 BS was always BS. EVERYBODY knew it except for the useful idiot sheep who are no better now than when they had tantrums about $15. Idiots cry over service the industry,labor intensive jobs filled by illegals,low end jobs some of which shrink over automation never realizing the money is to be made in new technology and servicing that automation.
If management doesn’t agree to software upgrades, the ‘bots take it out on the customers.

180 18” pizzas per hour? Does Michael Moore know about this?
Yup.
I know an engineer who worked on one a decade ago.
Plug got pulled on his project before they were rolled out.
We speculated that the customer (big burger chain) did not want to antagonize Obama by launching it in the midst of the ‘09 recession.
Can’t be worse than Little Caesars...
Just lubricate the robots with olive oil and that would actually be a benefit.
Saw it on ‘How It’s Made’ years ago.
I'm not a machine, I'm a trans-human!
