Pulmuone Co. Ltd. unveiled the "Chulchul Box Robot Chef," South Korea's inaugural smart cooking vending machine. Featuring a touchscreen menu, the innovative machine stores frozen meals, cooking them instantly upon order. It's set to redefine hot meals on the go for hurried consumers.
According to The Korea Economic Daily, Pulmuone's new "Robot Chef" instant cooking vending machine got its name from the Korean term for "hunger." The smart machine was designed to cook food immediately after placing an order. The dishes are expected to be served to customers in just 90 seconds. The machine is 1.9 meters high and 1 meter wide.
It has a 27-inch screen that displays the available menu, and a touch-operated screen for menu selection is also there to input the orders. Pulmuone's automated cooking vending machine stores frozen products that will instantly cook when orders come.
Pulmuone said on Tuesday, Sept. 12, it created this advanced robot vending machine to serve customers, especially those in a hurry. The company ensured the new Chulchul Box Robot Chef could prepare hot meals on demand.
Since this is still something new, Pulmuone is now offering three kinds of dishes. On the Robot Chef machine, people can order freshly cooked tonkatsu ramen, spicy beef soup with noodles, and spicy seafood noodle soup.
Meanwhile, the launch of Pulmuone's Chulchul Box Robot Chef was revealed to be part of the company's broader strategy to branch out its unmanned sales platform. The firm plans to install these automated cooking machines in business establishments that already have the previous version.
"By rapidly expanding into various businesses with high demand for smart unmanned restaurants, we will establish ourselves as an exemplary case of food tech specifically in the perspective of unmanned systems," Aju Business Daily quoted Nam Jeong Min, head of Pulmuone's unmanned business platform, as saying in a statement.
