Have you ever thought that after an hour of waiting, your pizza will be fresh and hot? It’s not impossible! The joint efforts of the company: Pizza Hut and Toyota, present a project that will change the way of delivery and the mood of the client, upon receipt of the order. Companies will present a robot that will prepare pizza in a specially equipped car, during delivery to the client.
The presentation took place at the SEMA Show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) in Las Vegas. Mobile pizza factory is located in the back of Toyota Tundra pickup truck. The development was called Tundra PIE Pro, also does not pollute the environment.
“We are always looking for ways to be closer to our customers.”- said the chief operating officer of Pizza Hut Nicholas Burquier. “Our main idea is always the same: to reduce the gap between the moment when the pizza is cooked and the moment when the customer starts to enjoy our product.»
The technology of cooking pizza is not complicated. Robots take out pre-assembled pizza from the refrigerator and cook it in a conveyor oven. Then transfer ready pizza on a cutting board, cut it into pieces and put in packing. The developers said that the process of cooking pizza will not take more than 5-6 minutes. After that, the driver can take the pizza and hand it over to the customer, but Pizza Hut plans to transfer this system to Autonomous cars as soon as they get widespread.
“Pizza Hut will be testing this prototype in real conditions in the coming months. We’re going to find out how viable these systems are.»

I perfectly understand the trend for robotization in business. Owners want to cut expenses and make their business more profitable using machines. I am pretty sure that it is much more cheaper to use two robotic hands than hire a professional cook. But, honestly, I am not a proponent of such a thing in traditional industries such as art, poetry or cooking. Left something for humans.
Wow! And why didn’t we think of this years ago? I’m pretty sure that this invention will gather momentum as well as be in great demand. If the cutting-edge technologies don’t harm or somehow disturb people’s comfort, I am all for it. Especially, when they are invented to significantly simplify our life routine. Besides, as indicated, it’s totally eco-friendly. I can hardly wait to try what is it like.
