Chipotle's AI Kitchen Assistant Moves Next Stage; 'Chippy' To Start Cooking Chips For Guests Next Month

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc CMG said it is piloting two new technologies in its restaurants to deliver precise forecasting, optimal quality, and increased convenience for digital guests.
Chipotle's new kitchen management system, powered by PreciTaste, is currently being tested at eight restaurants in Orange County, California.
Early results indicate the pilot is effectively streamlining kitchen operations for crew members and ensuring a full line of fresh ingredients for guests.
Leveraging AI and machine learning, the system monitors ingredient levels in real-time and notifies the crew how much to prep, cook and when to start cooking.
The company is also piloting advanced location-based technology to enhance its app functionality. The contextual restaurant program, using Radius Networks' technology platform Flybuy, is tested at 73 restaurants in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition, Chipotle's AI kitchen assistant, introduced earlier this year, has moved to its next stage of operational testing.
Chipotle will test the autonomous kitchen assistant, Chippy, made by Miso Robotics, in a restaurant in Fountain Valley, California.
Chippy will start cooking tortilla chips for guests next month.
Price Action: CMG shares traded higher by 1.20% at $1,557.41 on the last check Wednesday.
