In the kitchen, it can help automate processes by performing repetitive and time-consuming tasks. In the past, these “co-bots” (collaborative robots) were complex and expensive, but today with artificial intelligence they are much more compact and easier to use. Smart kitchens combine automation, client location and predictive analytics to create a more streamlined culinary experience. Artificial intelligence can connect data acquired through digital payment tools with sales trends, allowing for the optimization of ingredient purchases and the reduction of the amount of food kept in stock.
