While robots in restaurants&rsquo; kitchens may sound like the plotline of a sci-fi movie, technology is actually elevating food safety in our restaurants and other food businesses,&rdquo; according to an article in <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/outside-insights/should-restaurants-replace-humans-technology?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=robo-restaurant-concept-of-the-future-or-already-here-2708929" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">QSR</a>. This technology includes &ldquo;Flippy, the world&rsquo;s first burger-flipping robot, &ldquo;launched March at a Caliburger restaurant in California&rdquo; and capable of grilling 150 burgers per hour; the MIT-engineered robot kitchen of Spyce, a restaurant in Boston, where &ldquo;seven automated woks cook guests&rsquo; meals in three minutes or less,&rdquo; and more, according to the article. 

In an age where food contamination, inefficiency and waste can sound the death knells for a restaurant concept, the option to automate elements of the business is especially appealing. 

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a major trend in the food service industry to remove humans from safety management and replace them with technological solutions, such as robots and sensors,&rdquo; the article said. &ldquo;In fact, tech tools&mdash;robotics and artificial intelligence, data analytics, the Internet of Things, etc.&mdash;are already having huge, positive implications for supply chain management and food safety. This is just the beginning,&rdquo; according to the article.
