A startup in Chennai is using automated technology to prepare food in bulk quantities, thus saving a lot of time and effort. Saravanan Sundaramoorthy informs that he and his team have pre-programmed nearly 600 dishes into Robochef.

Robochef is a massive stainless steel structure wherein one only has to feed the raw materials like vegetables, spices, oil etc and the machine will promptly prepare the dish without any further human intervention, thus eliminating the cost of cooks as well as saving time.

Robochef

Robochef  is a big machine with belts carrying containers and utensils that function through sensors tuned to computer codes. The ingredients for a particular dish is loaded into the machine and the computer initiates the cooking process. It is equipped with an automated twin headed spatula for stirring. It is so efficient that one need not even chop or clean the vegetables. The entire cooking process from cleaning ingredients, chopping, frying, adding spices, stirring, etc. is entirely done by the machine.

Saves Cost And Time

Robochef can replace a large number of cooks thus saving labour cost. It can prepare delicious dishes in bulk quantities which helps to save time as well. At present, the startup has tied up with caterers who supply in bulk to events and hotels. According to Saravanan, the product has helped them to improve their gains.

The domestic variant of Robochef costs Rs 6 lakh and it has already found a few customers. In the future, Robochef could be a boon to homemakers and working women as it will relieve them from the daily task of cooking so that they could find more time for themselves.
