Kitchenoid

The commercial kitchen that runs itself.

Kitchens are short a million workers, and the ones who stay leave within the year. We build the robotics and AI that take the repetitive, high-volume work off the line, so a kitchen's output stops depending on who turned up for the shift.

The problem

Commercial kitchens are breaking.

Every kitchen feels this as the same thing: the shift still has to go out, with whoever is on the floor that day.

1M+
Unfilled food service positions

Roles that stay open for months, so the line runs short-handed and the shift still has to go out.

~65%
Annual staff turnover

The person who knew the recipe leaves, and the dish changes with them. Every rehire costs the kitchen twice.

8%+
Rise in hygiene violations

As experience walks out, food safety slips. Violations follow, and so does the risk to everyone you serve.
