Jack in the Box Partners with Miso Robotics to Begin Pilot for Flippy 2 and Sippy Product Lines
From the Fryer to the Drink Station, Jack in the Box Embraces Automation to Maximize Efficiency and Deliver a Better Customer Experience
PASADENA, Calif., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Miso Robotics – the company transforming the restaurant industry with robotics and intelligent automation – announced a partnership with Jack in the Box to begin a piloted test that will deploy its Flippy 2 and Sippy core product lines in one of the national restaurant chain's standalone locations, with possible plans for further integration in the months ahead. Built on the Miso Platform, both products leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and data analytics to maximize efficiency in the commercial kitchen.
With continued staffing challenges impacting operating hours and costs, Jack in the Box saw a need to revamp its technology roadmap and establish new systems – particularly in the back-of-house – that improve restaurant-level economics and alleviate the pain points of working in a high-volume commercial kitchen.
"This collaboration with Miso Robotics is a steppingstone for our back-of-house restaurant operations. We are confident that this technology will be a good fit to support our growing business needs with intentions of having a positive impact on our operations while promoting safety and comfort to our team members," said Tony Darden, Chief Operating Officer at Jack in the Box. "We are looking forward to testing Flippy 2 as our new hire at our San Diego location!"
Through the installation of Flippy 2 and Sippy, Jack in the Box will test the integration of both products into its operations and measure the benefits of a connected kitchen. With the goal of team members seeing an immediate impact on their day-to-day responsibilities – spending less time at the fryer and drink stations and more time in front of customers.
"Beginning our journey with a premier brand like Jack in the Box is an enormous step in our commitment to helping restaurants increase throughput, reduce costs and create a safer environment for their staff," said Mike Bell, CEO of Miso Robotics. "From tacos and curly fries to fountain sodas, the future is now for Jack in the Box, and we are ecstatic to serve as the company's technological arm to assure a quality product gets into its customers hands every time they order."
