This Paris restaurant serves pizza in 45 seconds with all-robot staff

Would you care for a pizza prepared entirely by robots?

A fast food restaurant has been making waves in Paris, France after using the power of robotics to serve its customers freshly baked pizza in 45 seconds.

Pazzi, which bills itself as the "world's first autonomous restaurant," relies on cloud technology and machine learning to make pizza without human contact.

"We are in a very fast process, with perfect control of time, a control of quality since we have a constancy offered by robotics," said Pazzi co-founder and innovation director Sebastien Roverso.

Pazzi can make 80 pizzas in an hour. According to Roverso, the ability rate of the technology is 96% to 97%.

The restaurant also tapped the services of Thierry Graffagnino, a triple world pizza champion, to serve as executive chef.

Graffagnino worked with Pazzi to develop the recipes and select ingredients for their pizzas.

"What is difficult is the dough. Because the dough is alive, you don't work with frozen dough," he said. "The machine must constantly adapt to the evolution of the dough."

"Every hour that passes, the dough is different. So we had to give the robot the means to make these corrections on its own and some pizza makers can't even manage that themselves," he added.

Pazzi's customers place orders via kiosks and watch while the robots get to work, from stretching the dough, putting toppings, baking in the oven, down to boxing and cutting the pizzas.

"The idea is also to spend a few pleasant minutes watching the robot while you wait for your pizza to be made," Roverso.

To ensure continuity of service, Pazzi has remote engineers who can monitor the robots using cameras and troubleshoot if necessary.

The restaurant plans to expand beyond France and is set to open a new branch in Switzerland in 2022.
