The brief

Thirteen shops, one menu. The fourteenth, at Nexus Way on the Gold Coast, cooks it without a brigade.

The ask: kitchen, front of house, ordering, screens, and the phone afterwards.

Planning

One menu across thirteen venues is the best case a robot kitchen gets. One set of moves, all day.

The numbers are in the quote, and go here when the client says so.

Design

Cook line on the blind wall, seating on the glass. Four metres of roof means the rail hangs and the arm works above the counter.

The brand pass. Little Red Dumpling came with a brand: the girl, the star, the red. We built the board around it and put her on the screens.

Supply

An arm on a rail behind glass. Six wells. Steamers at the pass. A CadeBot for the floor. Our ordering, payment and stock stack under the counter.

Implementation

Studs and a slab. Bench frame first, then the rail, because everything is set out from the rail.

The tenancy mid fitout: walls sheeted, the stainless bench frame and the linear rail installed along the left wall, the arm still crated on the slab, two tradespeople at the bench with a laser level

Commissioning: two hundred bowls, nobody eating. Every recipe timed before a customer sees it.

The CadeBot runs the aisle and talks to the same ordering system the arm does. A bowl leaves the pass with a table number on it.

Maintenance

The arm and the wells report to us. Spares an hour up the M1. A Brisbane number that answers.

The outcome

Not open yet. Machines delivered, fitout under way. The date, the bowls an hour and the photography go here.
