Eat Robotics Inc. is a Vancouver-based kitchen automation startup pioneering the future of fast food. We are currently in the pre-revenue stage, focused on developing innovative solutions that streamline restaurant operations. Our mission is to reimagine the burger kitchen through robotics, delivering greater efficiency, consistency, and cost savings for quick-service restaurants.

​

Flagship Product: Automated Hamburger Griddle

​

At the heart of our company is a patent-pending automatic hamburger griddle – a first-of-its-kind cooking robot designed to revolutionize burger production. This flagship product can cook up to 180 hamburger patties per hour with no manual flipping required, using a precision grilling system to cook both sides of each patty evenly. At the push of a button, it delivers perfectly cooked patties every time, ensuring high throughput without sacrificing quality.

​

By automating the grilling process, fast-food kitchens can handle peak demands with ease while maintaining consistent taste and texture in every burger.

​

Labor-Saving and Consistent Performance

​​

Labor-saving automation and cooking consistency are the core of what we do. Our robotic griddle takes on one of the most labor-intensive kitchen tasks – grilling burgers – and performs it reliably and safely. This means restaurants can operate with fewer back-of-house staff, helping reduce labor overhead at a time when hiring workers is challenging.

​

Consistency is equally critical in fast food. Humans can make mistakes or cook inconsistently, but our automated griddle ensures every patty is cooked to the same standard of quality. The temperature and timing are controlled precisely by our system, so whether it's the first burger of the day or the hundredth, customers get the same delicious result. This level of consistency improves food quality and customer satisfaction across all locations and shifts.

​

Value Proposition

​

Our value proposition is simple: increase efficiency and quality, while lowering costs. Key benefits of Eat Robotics’ solution include:

​

• Reduced Labor Costs: By automating burger grilling, restaurants can slash overhead associated with kitchen staff. This is especially valuable amid rising wage pressures and ongoing labor shortages.

• Improved Food Quality & Consistency: Every burger patty is cooked exactly as intended, yielding a consistent flavor and texture that keeps customers happy.

• Faster Operational Speed: Our griddle can produce up to 180 patties per hour, dramatically improving throughput during busy periods.

• Seamless Kitchen Integration: The system is designed to easily integrate into current kitchen footprints, requiring no major renovations or specialized staff training.

​​

By delivering on these points, Eat Robotics empowers restaurant owners to do more with less – cook more burgers with fewer staff, at higher and more consistent quality.

​

Market Opportunity

​

The market for our technology is vast. In the United States alone, there are over 84,000 burger restaurants, encompassing major chains as well as tens of thousands of independent and regional burger joints. These businesses form the backbone of the $160+ billion U.S. fast-food industry, yet many struggle with thin margins and operational challenges.

​

Labor shortages and wage inflation are hitting small and mid-sized restaurant owners especially hard. Not only are workers difficult to find, but retaining them is tough. This reality creates a pressing need for automation solutions that can keep kitchens running smoothly.

​

Beyond the immediate market of burger-focused eateries, our solution is relevant to any quick-service restaurant that grills patties or similar foods. This includes diners, drive-ins, food trucks, and even large chain franchises. Our initial focus is on independent and regional outlets that often lack the R&D budgets of large chains, giving them access to cutting-edge automation at an affordable price.

​

Competitive Landscape and Our Edge

​

Restaurant automation is an emerging field, and a few players have already made headlines. Companies like Miso Robotics and RoboBurger have demonstrated the potential of robotics in fast food. These early solutions, however, tend to be complex and costly – often requiring significant kitchen modifications or large upfront investments.

​

Eat Robotics takes a different approach. We are pursuing a low-cost, modular, and simple alternative to existing kitchen robots. Our system doesn’t rely on bulky robotic arms or fully enclosed kiosks; instead, it’s a smart griddle that can slot into a standard kitchen line. This simplicity translates to lower cost of adoption and easier maintenance for our customers.

​

Our competitive edge lies in focusing on the needs of everyday restaurant owners. Our automatic griddle is modular – it can operate as a standalone unit or work in tandem with other kitchen equipment. Fewer moving parts and a straightforward function mean fewer things can go wrong, giving us an advantage in uptime and serviceability.

​

Additionally, we plan to support our products with strong customer service, training, and maintenance packages, ensuring even small restaurant operators feel confident deploying robotics.

​

Founders and Leadership

​

Eat Robotics Inc. is led by a passionate founding team with complementary expertise:

​

• Thomas Braun, Co-founder & CEO – A seasoned entrepreneur and inventor with over 20 years of experience building venture-backed companies. He has led over $27 million in capital fundraising and holds multiple patents in the U.S., Germany, and China. With a background in law and international business, Thomas brings strategic leadership and deep technical vision to the company.

​​

• Emmeline Braun, Co-founder & CFO – A finance and investor relations professional with experience as the CFO of a publicly traded company. She specializes in media relations, crowdfunding, and investor outreach. Emmeline ensures that the company maintains strong financial discipline and meaningful engagement with partners and stakeholders.

​

Together, the Braun team blends innovation, operational excellence, and a clear vision for transforming food service through robotics.

​

Vision for the Future

​

While our journey begins with automated burger grilling, it’s only the first step in our long-term vision. Eat Robotics aims to expand into a full lineup of kitchen automation products beyond burgers.

​

We plan to tackle other repetitive and time-consuming tasks in the fast-food kitchen – from automated fry stations to robotic assemblers and eventually integrated kitchen automation suites. Each new product will be guided by the same principles: practical, cost-effective, and focused on solving real operational problems for our customers.

​

As automation technology evolves, we envision quick-service kitchens running around the clock with minimal labor, consistent output, and maximum efficiency – enabling new formats, better margins, and improved customer experiences.
