Cali Group, a holding company using technology to transform the restaurant and retail industries, has teamed with Miso Robotics, creator of the Flippy AI-powered robotic fry station and PopID, a technology company that provides biometric enabled payments, to introduce CaliExpress by Flippy, an autonomous restaurant, this month.
CaliExpress by Flippy features automated grill and fry stations powered by artificial intelligence and robotics, according to a press release.
Guests will watch their food being cooked robotically after checking in with their PopID accounts on self-ordering kiosks to get personalized order recommendations and make payments.
The restaurant, located on the northwest corner of Green Street and Madison Avenue at 561 E. Green Street in Pasadena, California, will offer freshly made beef burgers based on a wagyu blend.
The grill robot will grind the beef in real time after the order is placed.
Flippy, the robotic fry station, will then serve hot French fries,.
The CaliExpress by Flippy location will also be a pseudo-museum experience presented by Miso Robotics that will include dancing robot arms from retired Flippy units, experimental 3D-printed artifacts from past development, photographic displays and more.
