As reported by Engadget, White Castle has officially declared that it is going to use a robot chef called Flippy 2 extensively in 2022 and will introduce the robot chef to 100-plus outlets. Using artificial intelligence, Flippy 2 is similar to a fry cook and can take care of all the basic tasks such as identifying “the type of food such as burgers, chicken fingers, or fries” before cooking it and moving it to a “hot holding area.” White Castle first worked with the team behind Flippy 2, Miso Robotics, last year and introduced robots to its Chicagoland outlet.
While customers won’t necessarily spot the robots (because the machines will be working behind the scenes), they will likely receive their orders quickly. The Flippy 2 can prepare 60 baskets of food in 60 minutes and can make as many as 300 burgers in a single day without supervision.
Of course, people have a lot to say about this development. YouTube content creator, Paul Barbato, was pretty excited and wrote on Twitter, “If it comes to Los Angeles, I will literally be the first customer, if possible.” Meanwhile, another Twitter user advised others to check out White Castle and “see the future where a machine cooks the burgers and the few employees simply keep the machine full of ingredients.” And because it’s White Castle, someone had to bring up the “Harold and Kumar” series and wrote, “Not so sure about the Harold and Kumar reboot.”
