As social distancing continues for months to come, finding ways to support in-office workers when they return to work has become a priority.
Aditya Bali (BASc ’11, mechatronics engineering) is betting his latest venture, KitchenMate, an automated restaurant for the workplace, will be an integral part of the new safety culture while bringing epicurean joy to employees.
KitchenMate’s unique service includes a self-serve Smart Fridge kiosk that holds up to 70 fresh meals in individually packaged containers. The food is precisely steam-cooked in an Internet-connected Smart Cooker to create a restaurant-quality meal in under 10 minutes.
The ease of use, combined with a wide range of meal options, means employees can minimize their travel in and out of the office while enjoying delicious and nutritious meals safely, Bali says. [full story]
