However, in such a large-scale industry, manual workshop production and reliance on personal cooking experience are the norm.Kitchen staff in the back-end work long hours in a hot and humid environment, with low social status and poor job satisfaction. Traditional Chinese kitchens are finding it increasingly difficult to attract young people, which is also the fundamental issue that needs to be addressed for food safety.Based on the desire to improve the above-mentioned industry environment, "Zhigu Sky Chef" provides 14 cooking robots for Chinese catering companies, covering small catering stores to buffets, and various small, medium and large canteens. In addition to the cooking robot, around the smart back-end kitchen, T-Chef has also developed and piloted an automatic dish separator that will replace some of the work of cafeteria server.Yuchi Chen, the founding partner of Heroad Investments, stated that "Food is a basic necessity for people.
