Chef Robotics CEO Rajat Bhageria is pleased to point out that his industry isn't just a graveyard for startups. With over 100 million servings, they’ve managed to thrive by focusing on food manufacturing and large-scale customer contracts.

The key to their success lies in the use of AI-powered robot arms to handle labor-intensive tasks. They have now set their sights on smaller kitchens, including major airline catering companies, and even ghost kitchens – all without a physical restaurant space.

By feeding data from these massive servings into their AI models, Chef hopes to refine food handling and packaging techniques, making the process smoother and more efficient. This could mean better meals for airlines and stadiums, or could it threaten human jobs in the kitchen?

Bhageria envisions a future where technology not only aids but possibly supersedes traditional cooking methods. Whether this is a boon or bane remains to be seen.
