London-based robotics company, Moley Robotics, has introduced its groundbreaking Chef's Kitchen model at the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo in Hamburg. This innovative line of commercial kitchens aims to transform the way food is cooked by combining human chefs with collaborative robots. With staff shortages causing operational challenges for the hospitality industry, Moley Robotics' kitchens provide a solution that standardizes processes, reduces demands on antisocial hours, and ensures consistent, perfect dishes. The first model has already received CE marking certification, guaranteeing its safety in food preparation environments.
Designed for optimum efficiency and data optimization, Moley Robotics' commercial kitchen collects valuable insights to minimize wastage, optimize food preparation, and drive a solid Return on Investment. The modular and scalable architecture integrates seamlessly into busy commercial kitchens, operating 24/7 with a cloud-based recipe library and interchangeable cooking modules for frying, steaming, blending, and more.
The Chef's Kitchen, priced at £50,000, will be exclusively available for purchase on moley website starting July 1st, 2023. Customers can witness its capabilities firsthand and savor its cooking at MOLEY Robotics' new London showroom, opening later this summer at 16a Wigmore Street, W1U 2RF.
Moley Robotics' Founder and CEO, Mark Oleynik, expressed excitement about partnering with DNATA to introduce the Chef's Kitchen, a compact and versatile cooking robot suitable for both residential and commercial kitchens. Oleynik emphasized the elimination of the need for chefs to work night shifts and highlighted the demand from elderly care homes and social enterprises for high-quality, freshly prepared meals. The Chef's Kitchen addresses the need for immediate consumption of dishes like pasta, steaks, omelettes, and risotto, providing an alternative to delivery services and ready meals.
Developed over ten years by a team of 100 engineers, product designers, interior designers, and award-winning chefs, the Moley Robotics commercial kitchen platform combines human skills with robotic precision. Renowned chefs Tim Anderson, Nicole Pisani, and Andrew Clarke have contributed their expertise and created a diverse repertoire of dishes for the robot.
Founded in 2014 by Mark Oleynik, Moley Robotics has garnered significant interest from the hotel, restaurant, and catering industries since unveiling its first prototype in 2015. With the upcoming release of the commercial version in 2021, Moley Robotics aims to meet the industry's growing demand for integrated robots that can serve multiple portions of freshly cooked cuisine with reliability and precision accuracy.
