“Aniai Introduces Revolutionary $12M Burger-Cooking Robot to Restaurants”
Aniai, a startup that has built a burger-grilling robot, Alpha Grill, said today it has raised $12 million.
“Burger chains hire six to eight kitchen staff per shift to grill burgers,” Aniai CEO Gunpil Hwang said.
If the user’s patty does not meet its cooking recipes, specifications and requirements, Alpha Grill promptly notifies the cooking staff to ensure quality control.
It has also been testing Alpha Grill with burger chains in the U.S. since last year.
Other companies in this space include Miso Robotics, which is behind Flippy, a burger-flipping robot; Botinkit, a cooking robot maker in China; and Chef Robotics in San Francisco.
