What is Miso Robotics?

Have you ever dreamt about having a robot butler who cooks your meals?

Well, Miso Robotics has thought about it. It made it a reality with its modular frying robot named (of course) Flippy.

Miso Robotics is a Pasadena-based automation technology company focused on solutions for kitchens and restaurants. “Where AI meets culinary innovation” is the firm’s tagline, and it has stuck true to its mission with four operational products: Flippy, Chippy, Sippy and CookRight.

• Flippy: Miso’s first robot is an automated fry cooker known as Flippy, which operates like a typical fry station at a QSR restaurant. Flippy can operate up to five fryers at once, and Miso claims it produces 30% more fried food than human-staffed kitchens in half the prep time.
• Chippy: A high-volume cousin of Flippy, Chippy fast-fries items that need seasoning, like tortilla chips. Chippy also has an automatic dispenser for sauces that stores cold or frozen food.
• Sippy: You can probably guess which area of the kitchen Sippy serves. Sippy is an automated point-of-sale (POS) beverage server that can arrange cups by size, pour beverages and add ice for instantly servable drinks. Sippy can reduce waste from overpouring (or adding too much ice) and decrease wait times by organizing drinks for speedy service.
• CookRight: CookRight may not fit the rhyme scheme, but it can certainly serve any restaurant that wants to improve its efficiency with hot drinks. Coffee is CookRight’s specialty, offering AI solutions that prevent waste and ensure customers always get a hot, fresh cup. The system provides owners with important metrics like volume and temperature and uses this data in its predictive analytics.
