"The key to success in the restaurant industry is consistency. So anytime you go to a CaliBurger anywhere you know that the patty will be cooked exactly the same," said John Miller, CEO of Cali Group, the company that runs the chain. The robot was developed by a subsidiary called Miso Robotics.
So how does it work? Before Flippy can get started, it needs a little human help. A co-worker puts raw patties on the grill.

Miso Robotics says Flippy costs about $60,000 minimum. CaliBurger is using Flippy in its Pasadena store starting Monday with plans to expand the use of it at other locations soon.
They said the robot was made by a subsidiary of CaliBurger. So this is kind of a DIY robot. I'm sure the cost would come down a good bit at scale. Still $60k is 3 years of a $10 an hour full time employee. If it's reliable and maintenance costs aren't too bad, that's a short time for it to pay for itself. It's even shorter when you figure it will be covering 2-3 full time shifts and pay for itself in 1-2 years.

Next, can they make a robot that also spits on your burger.

If they program this thing to aim to be the best, most efficient burger flipping bot, then the world is over....
