At #CES2020 Centreplate will become the first hospitality company to offer robotic pizza in a convention center.
Seattle startup Picnic is already disrupting food production with automation and is bringing its pizza-making robot to #CES2020 but not in a booth or on the show floor. No sir, this smart-pie-producing machine won’t just be another booth or display angling for attention as Picnic is teaming up with event hospitality company Centerplate to serve food to attendees.
Clayton Wood, CEO of Picnic, said “Picnic’s distinct culmination of food production customization and throughput, smart data and cloud analytics is quickly resonating with food service operators,” This is one robot that won’t be a CES exhibitor only showing futuristic concepts; it is already in use in real-world kitchen settings and will only continue to grow its capabilities, as will be seen through Picnic’s delivery of mass customization food production and great-tasting pizza provided to CES attendees.”
The robot can make 300 x 12″ pizzas an hour or 180 x 18″ pizzas an hour. Centerplate has already used Picnic tech during a pilot program at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, and the robot is providing all pizzas made during Enchant Christmas, a holiday event taking place at the baseball stadium through the end of the month.
