1. Food quality is improved.
With automation, quality of food is more consistent. Technology allows for simpler and more efficient ways of preparing food. Modern kitchen equipment has programmable settings for specific food items, making it possible to cook foods such as bread and hamburgers to perfection and at a high rate of production. Automated labeling solutions can also help with the production of better quality food by providing a way to accurately label prepared food items.
Restaurants are also not far from the time when robot chefs may be rolling sushi, frying fries or making custom salads. The National Restaurant Association unveiled three such chefs at its show several years ago, in fact. And if consumers have anything to say about it, these robots will be coming to a restaurant near you soon—40% of consumers say they are likely to try menu items made by robots, according to Technomic’s October 2017 Omnibus Consumer Survey.
