The food labor crisis

Food companies are grappling with an unprecedented labor shortage. Hiring and retaining workers is more challenging than ever, putting the US, Canada, and Europe at risk of nationwide food shortages.

Leveraging automation as a form of labor is necessary to meet demand.

Traditional automation wasn’t built for the complexity of food

Many of our customers have tried traditional automation (multi-head dispensers, vibratory feeders, and volumetric fill dispensers) before turning to Chef.

These systems struggle with the natural variability of food ingredients, frequent changeovers, and high-mix production, leaving companies no choice but to rely on manual labor.

We believe this work shouldn’t have to be done by hand.

Physical AI makes robots intelligent enough to handle food

ChefOS, our physical AI operating system, enables Chef robots to manipulate real food in all its natural variability.
