London is often at the forefront of new culinary trends, where reports say robot chefs are set to take over… That’s thanks to restaurant/tech start-up Kaikaku which has raised $2.5 million for its futuristic concept. Using a system called ‘Fusion’, bowls move along a conveyor belt, gradually filling up with ingredients before a final squirt of sauce – in under 10 seconds flat. It conjures images of a robotic Swedish chef for us, but apparently, it’s all very precise… Unlike other robot-run restaurants around the world, Kaikaku’s founders insist it’ll free up human workers to focus on customer service – and they reckon robots can quickly learn to cook complex dishes. But not everyone’s ready to tuck in… Human chef Dominic Chapman says it omits “love and care” and is another example of people jumping on the AI bandwagon “trying too hard”. Maybe he’s watched too much Westworld…
