How an Autonomous QSR Resets the Guest Experience in the World of Take-Out and Delivery


Increasingly brands have lost their guest connection to the UberEats delivery guy or the Ikea shelf at the entrance of their restaurant for pick-up.  Our restaurant-in-a-box changes that relationship:

  • Fits in any real estate.
  • Is closer to the guests where they live, work, travel and entertain themselves.
  • Operates at times convenient for the guests not employee availability (24/7).
  • Designed to showcase the theatre of autonomous cooking in a next gen QSR where every encounter resembles the opening of a brand new iPhone box.
  • And delivers a 40%+ bottom line!
