Little Caesars releases pizza robot patent

According to recent reports, the American pizza chain "Little Caesars" has filed a patent for a robot designed to assist in pizza-making. The patent outlines a robotic system that can perform various tasks involved in preparing a pizza, such as stretching the dough and evenly distributing sauce, cheese, and toppings like pepperoni. This innovation could significantly streamline the production process and reduce the need for repetitive manual labor.

The company claims that this robot will help them focus on more complex or creative tasks, similar to other automated systems currently in use, such as Flippy, a robot used in fast-food kitchens. By integrating robotics into their operations, Little Caesars is keeping up with the growing trend of automation in the food industry.

Other companies have already embraced similar technology. For instance, Zume Pizza in Silicon Valley uses robots that can produce up to 372 pizzas per hour. As automation becomes more advanced and cost-effective, it's likely that more restaurants will follow suit, reshaping the future of the food service industry.
