Everyone always talks about the chef shortage, could this be the answer?
I’m not sure that robots will ever replace human chefs in the kitchen but what was ten years ago a mere dream from a sci-fi film is now becoming very real. With an increasing lack of skilled chefs’ employers seem to be finding there way around having bodies in the kitchen and trying out robots to cook their food. Although Flippy the Robot may be sufficient for a burger restaurant, I’m not sure this would be even remote fully helpful in some of the high-end places that we at Chefs In Scotland deal with. Currently the robots will have limited functionality but how long before we are placing robots in jobs? Keen to hear your thoughts on this one.
