Pizza is renowned for being one of the top foods in the world and, as a result, a 24-hour automated fresh pizza kiosk is sure to be a slam-dunk in the business department. French start-up Ekim is one company that has embarked on making such a venture a reality. However, there is a catch.
The 24-hour automated fresh pizza kiosk is not only convenient and bound to provide a tasty meal to consumers. It is also prepared by a robo-chef. The service is "headed" by a pizza-making robot known as PAZZI. The tech innovation can prepare a single pizza with lightning speed—about 30 seconds. In addition to tasty pies, the fresh pizza kiosk also offers drinks and deserts.
The concept of PAZZI is conceived and developed by a couple of young French engineers—Sébastien Roverso and Cyrill Hamon.
