On-demand food delivery is here to stay. With industry growth supercharged by lockdown conditions in the global pandemic, and virtual restaurants – or ‘dark kitchens’ – now entering the mainstream, the future of food is digital.
However, there have been some clear problems with virtual restaurants from day one. Pungent smells, queues of delivery drivers waiting outside and often unsociable operating hours have given dark kitchens a bad reputation in local communities. Inside, the kitchens are usually windowless, busy and punishingly hot, with workers “
cooped up like battery hens” while earning low pay, and on zero-hour contracts. In that environment, mistakes happen all too easily leading to errors in customer orders and staff injury.
What we're Building
It’s time to take virtual restaurants to the next level! At REMY Robotics, we use Virtual Restaurant Robotics (VRR) to solve the problems today’s dark kitchens face. We’re building the world’s first end-to-end ecosystem of virtual restaurants powered by autonomous robot-run kitchens (VRR). Our kitchens use software-defined and adaptive robots, computer vision, artificial intelligence and mechatronics that can ensure constant quality, adaptability to any recipe, and operational effectiveness across an endless variety of food production scenarios. Our food is already available in multiple delivery platforms and will be available on our ordering app, a state of the art digital platform and parent brand to our portfolio of virtual restaurant brands.
Who we are
At REMY, we like to do things a bit differently. Unlike traditional software products, our robots exist in the physical world: this means the scope of our products and projects are wide-ranging, from the highly technical to the physical, such as identifying and implementing appropriate food packaging solutions for our customer-facing hot food products.
Additionally, REMY Robotics benefits from having Kinetik, the financial technology group famous for unicorns like Arrival, as sole founder-investors. This distinctive model, combined with our existing team of experienced, highly-driven world-class tech, culinary and operational employees, removes the bureaucracy from our business, allowing us to focus on what will make a real impact to REMY’s products.
At REMY Robotics, we are developing groundbreaking technological solutions alongside a truly competitive customer product to create a better future for the food industry, for consumers and for the planet.
