The company was the first fast food chain to embrace Impossible Foods for its sliders.Īt an undisclosed restaurant in the Chicago area, Miso Robotics is already working to install the latest version of its Flippy robot. White Castle has a fairly interesting track record when it comes to working with startups. “I think automation is here to stay and this is the first example of a really large credible player starting down that journey,” said Miso Robotics chief executive Buck Jordan of the new collaboration with White Castle. For the company, it was a question of, “How can we start to make the kitchen of tomorrow today?”Īlready a success on social media, where videos of Miso Robotics’ Flippy robot have racked up hundreds of thousands of views, White Castle was intrigued about the prospects of a burger flipping, chicken, onion, and french frying robot in its locations, Richardson said. White Castle first began talking about using the Miso Robotics robots in its kitchens about nine months ago according to White Castle’s vice president of shareholder relations, Jamie Richardson. It’s a trial run for potentially bringing the robot to other White Castle kitchens across the country, the company said. In one of the first trials of a robotic fry cook at a national burger chain, White Castle said it would work with Pasadena, Calif.-based Miso Robotics to test that company’s robotic chef at a restaurant in the Chicago area. The next time Harold and Kumar go to a White Castle, there may be a robot making their French Fries. ![]()
