CaliExpress Offers Burgers and Fries Prepared by AI Technology

— November 8, 2024 — Tech
Pasadena is set to host the world’s first fully autonomous artificial intelligence restaurant, CaliExpress, which is planned to open in the coming weeks. Located at 561 E. Green Street near Madison Avenue, CaliExpress is pioneering food service innovation with cutting-edge automation and artificial intelligence, developed in collaboration with Miso Robotics and PopID.

Miso Robotics, known for its breakthrough AI robotic fry station, Flippy, has outfitted CaliExpress with the latest in automated kitchen technology, including advanced grill and fry stations that handle food preparation autonomously. PopID, a leader in biometric solutions, has provided integrated ordering technology and order fulfillment quickly through facial recognition.

"The CaliExpress by Flippy kitchen can be run by a much smaller crew, in a less stressful environment, than competing restaurants — while also providing above average wages," Cali Group said.
