Chipotle tests robot that can prepare avocados to make guacamole faster
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/12/chipotle-tests-robot-to-prepare-avocados-for-guacamole.html
Chipotle has developed a robot, called Autocado, that can cut, core, and peel avocados for its guacamole, potentially cutting the prep time in half. The robot was developed in partnership with California-based robotics startup Vebu Labs, and Chipotle's venture arm, Cultivate Next, is investing in Vebu. The broader restaurant industry is experimenting with robotics and automation as it faces a shrinking workforce and rising wages. The Autocado is expected to be tested in Chipotle restaurants later this year and could help save millions of dollars on avocados annually, as well as cut labor costs and food waste.
