NEW
YORK, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New York-based robotic kitchen startup, Aniai,
has announced the deployment of 15 hamburger grill robots across
prominent burger chains in South
Korea, including the leading hamburger franchise brand
Lotteria (part of Lotte GRS, a food affiliate of Lotte Group).
Aniai's robotic solution, Alpha
Grill, helps restaurants automate the burger cooking
process. It not only wears many of the same features as clamshell
grills – with its dual-sided griddle, pre-set recipe configurations
and precision output, but also boasts an impressive speed and
serving automations. Capable of cooking 200+ patties per hour,
Alpha Grill's robotic spatula cooks
patties, brings them to a warming tray and then self-cleans saving
customer's precious seconds with each use.
After employing Alpha Grill for
six months, Lotteria reduced their traditional six-step patty
cooking process, which required approximately five minutes of
cooking time, down to a single step and exactly one minute and
fifty seconds, allowing their staff to allocate more time to
value-added tasks while removing physical burdens.
"The impact of Alpha
Grill extends to creating a safer working environment,"
noted a Lotte GRS Representative. "By reducing the time our kitchen
staff spend in front of hot grills, which is traditionally a risk
for burns and heat-related injuries, Alpha
Grill enhances workplace safety."
As Aniai continues conversations and live demos with major
American and NYC-based burger brands, they look to the
technological advances and rapid adoption of Alpha Grill in South
Korea. Aniai's Co-founder and CEO, Gunpil Hwang, is
enthusiastic about their partnership with Lotteria and other
prominent burger chains where they've deployed 15 grills today, and
500 pre-orders for the future.
"It's truly exciting to witness the rapid
adoption of our automation technology, and the happiness it brings
among kitchen staff," notes Gunpil Hwang. "We want to ensure that
not only are our customers eager to innovate with us, but their
staff reap the positive benefits Alpha
Grill brings to them. We have proved that our solution works
in the commercial kitchen in South
Korea; and now, we are taking this momentum to expand
deployment to the US."
