Restaurants in Dubai will soon have robot chefs preparing food for customers.

Americana Restaurants, the main franchiser of iconic brands such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Hardee’s, Krispy Kreme and TGI Friday’s in the UAE and the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, has partnered with US automation solutions company Miso Robotics to deploy robots in its restaurants.

The Flippy 2 robotic solution can do the work of the entire frying station independently, and is poised to be further integrated and expanded to other Americana restaurant locations in the coming months. It requires less labor to operate and is engineered to fry almost anything. It also reduces order-to-delivery time, improves food consistency, and creates a better work environment for human team members.
