The world’s second fully automated, AI-powered restaurant has recently opened its doors in Southern California.
Located at 561 E. Green Street in Pasadena, CaliExpress by Flippy is a cutting-edge eatery that introduced a novel dining experience in December. Here, advanced technology takes the reins as computers handle the cooking of steaks and the deep-frying of European potatoes.
Upon placing an order, patrons have the opportunity to witness drones meticulously preparing their meals from start to finish, offering a unique and interactive dining spectacle. Notably, customers also have the flexibility to customize their purchases to suit their preferences.
In a move to enhance their menu offerings, CaliExpress by Flippy has introduced new beverage selections to complement the existing array of delectable options, reminiscent of those found at In-N-Out.
The innovative mechanical fry station, Flippy, renowned as the world’s second AI-powered creation, was developed by Miso Robotics—a tech company leveraging biometrics to optimize ordering and payment processes. Collaboratively, Cali Group and PopID played pivotal roles in the establishment of this futuristic restaurant.
The culinary lineup at CaliExpress by Flippy boasts an assortment of classic favorites such as French fries, cheeseburgers, and hamburgers, ensuring a satisfying dining experience for all visitors.
According to John Miller, the CEO of PopID, this establishment stands out as a trailblazer in the realm of automated dining, being the first operational restaurant where both ordering and cooking processes are entirely mechanized.
The culmination of extensive research, innovation, and investment across a consortium of forward-thinking enterprises has led to the integration of cutting-edge technologies, resulting in the creation of the world’s most intelligent restaurant.
Furthermore, the utilization of such advanced technology is expected to significantly reduce workplace accidents, minimize food and energy wastage, and enable efficient operations with a leaner staff, as indicated in media reports.
In a bold marketing move, RXBAR is incentivizing customers with a $2.5K reward to temporarily relocate their seating arrangements for a fortnight, adding an element of fun and engagement to the dining experience.
Moreover, the premises of CaliExpress by Flippy will offer a multifaceted experience, doubling as a Miso Robotics-sponsored pseudo-museum where visitors can marvel at photo exhibits, experimental 3D-printed artifacts, and captivating displays featuring dancing machine arms, among other attractions.
For those eager to explore this innovative dining concept, online reservations are available, although access to the website seemed restricted as of the latest update on Tuesday evening.
Anticipation is high for the upcoming grand opening of this avant-garde establishment, promising a culinary adventure like no other.
