In Paris, an innovation that fascinates and worries at the same time: a pizzeria managed entirely by a robot in all its phases
One of the recurring nightmares of many people has already become a reality in France: robots have replaced humans, and this is not a simple experiment but a real pizzeria managed entirely by artificial intelligence. In fact, a restaurant of the Pazzi chain has entrusted the preparation, cooking and serving of pizza to robots. The restaurant is located in Paris and is able to produce up to 80 pizzas per hour to serve as many customers.
How the first pizzeria run by a robot works
This is how the first pizzeria run by a robot works: the customer orders on an automatic terminal, similar to that of some fast food chains, and the robot takes care of everything else.From the preparation of the dough to the preparation of the toppings, up to the baking in the oven, the robot takes care of everything. The customer is served pizza in the final phase with the robot well protected behind an unbreakable glass. The idea can be replicated in other industries as well, such as high service restaurants or retail stores.
The new “automated pizza” service, as the French have called it, appeals to Parisians who flock to the storefronts. As far as the menu is concerned, the Pazzi chain relied on a professional like Thierry Graffagnino. There are fifteen pizzas on the menu and the prices range between 7 and 14 euros, with the possibility of adding ingredients as desired.
Who designed the “automated pizza” service
The start-up that designed the robot capable of preparing pizza is called Ekim and already a few years ago, in 2019, had presented the same project in a shopping center in the province of Paris. The real turning point, however, came with the landing in the center of the capital of France.
The two entrepreneurs Sébastien Roverso and Cyril Hamon worked on the project: “We are ready to revolutionize fast food, driven in particular by the shortage of personnel that today afflicts the whole sector,” they explained to the French press.
