Labor saving, fast delivery, precise and controllable amount of seasoning, stable taste and taste… Recently, cooking robots are gradually being recognized by the market and diners, and smart restaurants using various cooking robots are quietly blooming everywhere. In addition to being convenient and hygienic, the cooking robot also solves the major problem of the standardization of chain Chinese food. Aiming at this vast market, large enterprises such as Country Garden have also launched cross-border deployments. Will cooking robots become the general trend of smart restaurants in the future?

Computer screen control automatic frying

Recently, in the Chongwenmen Sinopec gas station, a newly opened Ka Ge’s exquisite home-cooked food takeaway stall has attracted many surrounding diners to order online. Braised eggplant, hot and sour potato shreds, fish in tomato sauce, fish-flavored shredded pork and other home-cooked dishes are priced between 30 yuan and 40 yuan, and a la carte dishes are priced between a few yuan and ten About a few dollars.

“Taste is good” and “clean and hygienic” are the common comments of many users on the food delivery platform. What surprised many diners is that these dishes are all made by cooking robots.

“You have a new take-out order, please handle it in time.” The reminder in the small store kept ringing, and the clerk was busy in front of the robot in an orderly manner. “It’s all the raw materials sent by the company, and it will automatically stir-fry when you put it directly into the machine, and the pan will be ready in three or five minutes.” The clerk said that although the store’s face is not big, “business has been pretty good” after the takeout was launched recently.

Before the official opening of this takeaway stall, a convenient mobile food truck has been running for nearly half a year near the Chongwenmen bus station, and the Kage smart kitchen on Dongdan North Street has also been running for more than three years. The reporter learned that these are all smart restaurants opened by Kago Smart Kitchen Catering Company. Although the business forms are different, the cooking robots in several stores are similar. The staff only needs to put the ingredients into the pot and control it through the computer screen. After a few minutes, the steaming dishes will be automatically fried out of the pot.

Calories are accurate to two decimal places

In Yami Digital Health Restaurant located in Galaxy SOHO, Dongcheng District, a cooking robot also takes care of all the meals. After the computer control program is started, the machine automatically sprays oil into the pot. After the wok is turned over for 5 seconds, the onion, ginger, and garlic are added, and the meat and vegetables are added in turn. The simplest quick-hand dish can be cooked in 1.5 minutes, and the longest curry chicken only takes 5 minutes. OEM Manufacturer metal dealers 

Unlike Kage Smart Kitchen, which focuses on fast food, Yami Digital Health Restaurant focuses on low-calorie Chinese food, and the calorie of each dish is accurately marked on the menu, which is favored by many diners who are losing weight, fitness and other diners who have strict requirements on their body and diet.

“The amount of all the seasonings required for each dish is precisely set, and all the seasonings are accurately delivered through straws and nozzles, and there is almost no error.” The restaurant’s founder, Chen Yun, told reporters that this is why she chose to use the cooking robot. The original intention is, “We have developed a small program to establish a health profile for customers, and provide a reference value of daily recommended calorie intake based on height and weight, and users can accurately order meals according to this number.”

The reporter saw from the ordering applet that each meal in the store is marked with calories, and the calories are accurate to two decimal places. Take the long-selling Fat Beef Yellow Braised Chicken Double-Piece Quinoa Fried Rice Set as an example, each meal contains 378.85 calories, and the monthly sales volume on the Mini Program platform alone reaches more than 500 copies.

Despite the good sales, the store has only two regular employees and two part-time workers who help with packing during lunch hours. “The machine produces a dish in an average of two minutes. It can make large, medium and small portions. The small portion is for one person, and the large portion can be made for 20 people.” Chen Yun calculated an account, “The purchase cost of the robot is equivalent to a chef. Monthly salary, and when a machine is running at full capacity, it can cook meals for 400 people in one meal period, which is several times that of an ordinary chef.”

Helping the standardization of chain Chinese food

For many restaurants and diners, cooking with robots is still a new thing, but in fact, cooking robots have already blossomed in many places. In May of this year, Gu Xiaoyu’s company opened a “cooking robot” restaurant in Chengdu; a cooking robot was used to create a “smart kitchen” in the restaurant of a base of Naval Aviation University. In early June, Yami Digital Health Restaurant opened a branch in Hangzhou, and a community elderly canteen in Changsha also used an intelligent cooking robot.

Many large enterprises have also launched cross-border layouts in this field. The reporter learned from Country Garden Group that its subsidiary Qianxi Robot Group has been investing in research and development since 2019. At present, it has independently developed more than 80 kinds of robot equipment and software systems, and opened a flagship store of Robot Chinese Restaurant in Guangzhou. According to the person in charge of Country Garden Group, the intelligent equipment in this restaurant includes a wok robot, a double-arm claypot robot, a ground food delivery robot, a bartender robot, a dessert station robot, a double-arm frying robot, and a double-arm burger robot. And so on, it can quickly produce a variety of special dishes such as stir-fry, fast food, hot pot, claypot rice, noodles and so on in a short period of time, and some robot stand-alone equipment has entered the stage of mass production.

According to Zhu Danpeng, an analyst in the food industry, cooking robots must be one of the future development directions of the catering industry. “The national level has been supporting the robot industry, and the capital side is also optimistic about this differentiated track. From the industrial side, standardization is the trend of chain restaurants in the future. The most important thing now is the consumer side’s recognition of cooking robots.” Zhu Danpeng believes that, With the gradual popularization of technology empowerment in the catering industry, robotic cooking will gradually be accepted by the public like pre-made dishes. Due to its advantages of high standardization and strong reproducibility, it will also become an important starting point for the export of Chinese food culture to the international market.
