Appetronix is actively developing two new robotic cuisine verticals: Asian and Mexican.
Robotic food and beverage systems provider Appetronix has unveiled the next phase of its fully-autonomous kitchen platform, which the company said is redefining how quick-service restaurants (QSRs) operate at scale.
Following the successful launch of a fully-autonomous kitchen for Donatos Pizza in Columbus, Appetronix it is now actively developing two new robotic cuisine verticals: Asian and Mexican. The company said the new developments further demonstrate its capability to serve diverse food categories with exceptional quality, speed, consistency and zero human intervention.
Designed for autonomous operations and rapid deployment, Appetronix said its kitchen integrates robotics, AI and advanced systems engineering to consistently produce high-quality meals in high-traffic, labor-constrained environments.
“Our team, strategic partners, investors, and early customers have allowed us to build a next-gen QSR system that’s ready to scale across airports, hospitals, office towers, stadiums and universities,” said Nipun Sharma, CEO of Appetronix. “We’re enabling top restaurant brands to achieve real estate flexibility and round-the-clock operations - while solving the industry’s labor crisis.”
Appetronix has partnered with Viam to power its offerings, along with investment groups N49P and AlleyCorp, to bring the autonomous food service technology to market.
The Appetronix system is powered by Viam’s advanced AI and automation platform, which enables real-time food quality monitoring, predictive maintenance and smart inventory management.
For the autonomous pizza kitchen at Columbus’ John Glenn International Airport, Appetronix utilized Viam’s complete vision system to automatically inspect each pizza for sauce coverage and consistency, cheese coverage, pepperoni distribution and final quality before it’s served.
Viam’s full-stack offering connects hardware, AI models and APIs to Appetronix’s POS and ordering systems, enhancing accuracy and customer experience. By utilizing Viam’s platform, Appetronix said it can scale quality assurance across locations without building internal AI infrastructure.
"Viam's work with Appetronix is a great example of the wide-ranging applications of Viam's AI and computer vision technology, " said Eliot Horowitz, founder and CEO of Viam. "We see huge potential to help drive automation, efficiency and consistent quality in the quick service restaurant space."
