As
a graduate of two Jesuit Universities myself I was not surprised when I read
that Xavier University located in Cincinnati was the first to install a college
students dream machine an automated robotic pizza machine. The old saying if the Jesuits get you for
four years they have you for life must have been updated to they get you with
pizza 24/7 why leave!
Technology
has found another way to expand the offering of fresh prepared food that is
Ready-2-Eat with less labor. In fact a
restaurant robot / machine opened on the Cincinnati university campus a pizza
"ATM" as it was reported in
the press is stocked with 70 pizzas waiting to be cooked and dispensed in three
minutes each.
The
machine ‘ATM’ “features 12-inch pies assembled by hand by the dining hall staff
of Xavier University. Each pizza maker was trained for 40 hours by a French
chef to make the pies. …The pizzas will sell for between $9 and $10, and the
university expects to sell 300 a day” according to the press.
Here
is where you have to love the machine not only replace the cook but the food
marketer as well. The pie count will be
monitored in real time, and the ATM will offer discounts if the pizza isn't
moving. If success does leave clues one clue for sure is college students love
pizza. We think that this machine just
might take the Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat grocerant niche to the next level.
Note:
Xavier holds exclusive rights to the devices in North America, requiring other
interested parties to train and obtain certification from the school. The
supplier is a French company.
