Through the glass wall can be seen as the chef prepares lunch. The chef here is unusual - a special machine unit. Buns sorted in a row, then a special knife takes turns cutting each of them in half.

Then the machine roasts them, sends them to a conveyor belt, where they add sauces, tomatoes, onions, grated cheese and meat. Five minutes - and your order is ready. The man does not even intervene.

“Before, my job was to make hundreds of identical burgers day after day,” says Alex Vardakostas, founder and director of Creator.

"Often I wanted to make them better, more unique, but this is impossible in conditions where you have to manually prepare a huge number of burgers using primitive tools."

It is an indispensable tool in the kitchen.

During his student days, Alex liked the physics lessons, where he applied various high-tech tools. And now he was thinking about using them in restaurant business.

“We absolutely do not consider this machine a robot. It is simply an indispensable tool in the kitchen. Ordinary device.

Vardakostas and his partner Steve Frain have been working on this car for six years, although few people believed in their idea. They are not the only ones who are trying to robotize the preparation of burgers.

For example, there is a robot "Flippi". He knows how to turn the patties, but can not add sauces and perform other steps. The Creator restaurant machine is the first example of full automation in cooking.

Using the machine improves the quality of burgers and does not affect their price. The minimum burger cost is $ 6 (in San Francisco, a big mac costs $ 5,79). The maintenance of the robot costs the restaurant quite inexpensive. Thanks to this institution buys better ingredients.

Instead of the already sliced ​​buns - fresh buns without preservatives. The robot roasts each bun for 90 seconds. Usually, cooks do not have enough time or patience.

Tomatoes and onions are cut exactly when they need to be added to the dish. Therefore, they are always fresh and crunchy. This also applies to cheese - it delicately melts on a fresh bun.

“Unlike a human, a robot adds all the stuffing to a burger so that it does not fall apart when you pick it up,” says Vardakostas. Practically the whole process, except for chopping and cooking meat, is visible through the glass wall.

Burgers are not cooked by people here, but there are open vacancies in the restaurant. When the buyer enters the institution, he is greeted, told about all sorts of fillings and help make an order. After all, the robot performs another option.

In addition to the filling, the guest can determine how to place it in a dish (pour ketchup over the top or bottom layer of the bun). For this, the restaurant employs people who will explain and show everything.

People chefs here are needed for cooking french fries and other side dishes. Payment for such work is higher than the standard rate of an employee fast food. In an hour a person can earn from $ 16. Moreover, employees are allowed to use 5% work time for self-education.

240 burgers per hour

Autonomous robot also cleans the air. Therefore, the restaurant is fresh, and does not stink like in other fast foods, where they grill meat. There is only one “but”: two cars produce no more 240 burgers per hour.

“The most important thing is that we reduce the cost of food,” says Vardakostas. - This is important and positive for every person. I don't understand when they say it's necessary to save jobs for people who, say, flip buns. Why not think about the fact that these people could be doing something more worthwhile, creative or socially important?”

The founders of the restaurant are planning to open a point outside San Francisco in the near future. Including - in small cities.

“We want access to quality food to be more democratic,” says Alex.
