Chipotle is introducing cobots in two California locations to automate avocado prep and bowl-making, aiming to enhance operational efficiency while still requiring human oversight.
The Autocado robot efficiently cuts, cores, and peels avocados, allowing kitchen staff to focus on mashing guacamole, while the Augmented Makeline assists in bowl and salad assembly.
According to Curt Garner, Chipotle's chief customer and technology officer, these cobots could strengthen the operational engine and enhance customer and team member experiences while upholding culinary standards.
Chipotle's investments in innovative technology like cobots are strategic moves to remain competitive in the fast-food industry, addressing labor shortages and improving service for digital and in-store orders.
