Investors

Scaling commercial kitchens through robotic automation.

BotKitchen automates the full kitchen workflow — clean, cut, cook, serve — for central kitchens and food manufacturers. We are scheduling investor meetings for Q3 2026.

The problem

Commercial kitchens are breaking.

The $1T food service labour model is under strain, and there are not enough workers to fix it.

1M+
Unfilled food service positions

Chronic instability across the sector, with roles employers cannot fill.

~65%
Annual staff turnover

Among the highest of any industry, and the cost compounds with every rehire.

8%+
Rise in hygiene violations

Violations climb as kitchens lose experienced workers.

The market

A $3.5B market growing to $11.2B.

BotKitchen targets the kitchen-robotics market, projected to reach $11.2B by 2034 at 14% CAGR — driven by exactly the labour pressure above.

Cooked by BotKitchen

Real cuisine, not demo food.

75+ recipes across Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Mediterranean, and Mexican cuisines — styles that demand precise pan temperatures, minute-level shelf lives, and timing where a minute changes the dish.

Our moat

Five advantages that take years to build.

Single-task, inflexible, incomplete — that is the competition. We are the opposite.

End-to-end automation

Clean → cut → cook → serve, at central-kitchen volume. Most systems automate a single station and leave the rest of the kitchen to people.

Multi-cuisine at volume

Up to 22 recipes per cycle, cooking in parallel across eight culinary traditions — Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Mediterranean and Mexican — not one fixed menu.

Scalable throughput

Four unit sizes spanning 50–350 kg per cycle — up to 14,000 meals a day on two shifts.

Custom recipes, not fixed menus

Operators author their own recipes through the app. Bespoke cooking at scale, not a preset catalogue.

Integrated IP

Patent-pending design with hardware and software co-engineered rather than bolted together.

The line-up

Four sizes, one platform.

BotKitchen ships in four unit sizes, from a 7 × 7 ft mobile unit to a 20 × 20 ft installation — 50 to 350 kg per cycle. Every size runs the same Kitchen OS.

Business model

Every kitchen we ship becomes recurring revenue.

Hardware and software sell as one platform. The robotics go in once — modular units with installation, setup and warranty. Kitchen OS is then licensed monthly for as long as the kitchen runs, across every segment we serve.

Pricing, licence rates, customer LTV, and gross-margin trajectory are commercially sensitive and shared directly.
