What areas is Miso Robotics looking to automate beyond fry and drink stations in the restaurant industry?

We get questions like this all the time about what else we can help restaurants do. We look at it as the lowest hanging fruit equation. What is the biggest problem that's easiest to solve? We're progressing through the opportunity this way.

We look at what goes on in the back of the house at any fast food location and understand that so many of those tasks are very repetitive. For example, putting pepperoni on pizza is something that should be relatively easy for a robot to take over. But something like shelling oysters or mussels? Yes, but not for a while. That's really hard. Then there are things in the middle like making guacamole or scooping ice cream.

If you ask an engineer? Yes, absolutely, all these things can be done by a robot. But they may not be able to be done economically.

You may not like the price, or the throughput, or the size. We're looking at it through the eyes of the customer—what is the customer ROI that we can produce? It’s a target rich environment, and there are a whole bunch of activities that we can and will take over with automation in the years ahead.
