Meet Flippy, Sippy and Chippy: These robots can cook fries, pour drinks and make tortilla chips

Whether it's creating perfectly cooked fries and burgers or pouring soda without any spills, robot chefs are venturing further into the $296 billion U.S. fast food industry amid a nationwide labor shortage. Miso Robotics, a California-based company, built a kitchen bot called Flippy that was able to cook 300 burgers per day and then expanded into whipping up fries with the second version. The fast-casual chain Wing Zone in May inked a deal with Miso to install Flippy 2 into all future restaurant locations. Jack in the Box is deploying that same machine along with the company's Sippy bot - which quickly pours, labels and seals beverage orders - this year with a goal of getting into 10 high-volume locations in 2023. Whether it's creating perfectly cooked fries and burgers or pouring soda without any spills, robot chefs are venturing further into the $296 billion U.S. fast food industry amid a nationwide labor shortage And Miso has another machine called Chippy that can cook up Chipotle's tortilla chips - which will be integrated into a southern California location of the Mexican restaurant this year.
