Covid provides yet one more reason to add more automation to foodservice:  reducing human contact with food. 

There’s Flippy the robotic fry cook, who will start flipping burgers at White Castle this fall.  There are a few entries in the drink space such as Botrista and Drinkbot, Chowbotics, the salad mixing robot and Servi the runner/busser.  All of these innovations save on labor and are meant to augment, not replace the human element.  Experts say robotics could be the future innovation the industry needs.
