"Chipotle Embraces Automation with Robotic Burrito Bowl Line"

Chipotle is testing an automated digital assembly line in partnership with Hyphen to fulfill digital orders, with the potential for a robot to assemble burrito bowls in the future. While an employee will continue to assemble burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, the automated line will create salads and burrito bowls by positioning bowls under each specified ingredient and portioning them out. Bowls and salads currently account for 65% of Chipotle's digital orders, and the company is exploring how these technologies can complement each other. However, the robotic assembly line is still "months away" from being tested in a restaurant.

"Restaurants Embrace A.I. for Streamlined Operations and Increased Sales"

Restaurants such as Panera and Chipotle are piloting artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline food service, from predictive ordering for consumers to automating kitchen flow and driver dispatch. Analysts say AI has the potential to ease workforce challenges in an ongoing tight hiring market and drive sales through suggestive selling. However, there are still hurdles to broad adoption, including getting franchisees on board and navigating language barriers and menu nuances. The industry shift is reminiscent of the emergence of third-party delivery services five years ago.
