# Robot Burger Vending Machines RoboBurger is the First Robot Burger Chef in a Vending Machine By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2022-03-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboburger References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/roboburger-the-worlds-first-robot-burger-chef-in-a-vending-machine-format-launches-nationally-301508246.html) & [theroboburger](http://www.theroboburger.com/)  RoboBurger is the world's first [fully autonomous robotic burger chef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robbyant-r1) and it is capable of cooking restaurant-quality grilled burgers from scratch, all within a vending machine unit. The robot burger chef cooks and serves burgers, contactlessly, in the span of about six minutes. The intelligent mini restaurant is a completely self-operating patented kitchen that measures just 12 square feet and plugs into a traditional wall socket. On a much smaller scale, RoboBurger offers all the processes of a restaurant, thanks to its [own fridge and automated griddle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redyref-smart-food-fridge) and self-cleaning system. RoboBurger launched in Newport Centre, a Simon Mall in Jersey City and this [robot vending machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-robotic-vending-machine) is just the first of many that will be popping up at airports, malls, colleges, offices, factories, military bases and other locations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Autonomous Vending Machines:** This trend presents opportunities for businesses to develop vending machines that not only sell products, but also prepare them automatically. - **Smart Mini Kitchens:** This trend creates opportunities for businesses to develop compact and self-operating kitchens like RoboBurger to serve food at various locations. - **Contactless Food Service:** This trend signals opportunities for businesses to come up with innovative ways to serve and package food that minimizes contact and ensures hygiene. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** The retail industry can create autonomous vending machines that sell and prepare food products. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can deploy smart mini kitchens like RoboBurger to serve customers at various locations. - **Food Service:** The food service industry can develop contactless serving and packaging systems for hygiene and safety of customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Burger-Making Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-grill.md) - [Gourmet Meal Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-chef-chulchul-box.md) - [Fully Autonomous AI Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliexpress-by-flippy.md) - [Sandwich-Heating Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kepak-hot-vend-kiosk.md) - [Burger Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patty-the-robot.md) - [AI-Driven Burger Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliexpress.md) - [Robot-Operated Pizza Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperrobotics.md) - [Autonomous Pizza Vendors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedy-eats.md) - [Robot Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortoise-smart-stores.md)
