Bolk, a maker of bowl-making robotic canteen, announced today that is has raised 4 million in new funding.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2020, the French startup is using the capital to build prototypes which it has already started to deploy around Paris and surrounding areas. <\/p>\n
The Bolk canteen bot, which is reminiscent of Chowbotics Sally robot, takes up 2 square meters of floor space and can produce up to 60 meals an hour. The Bolk is completely autonomous and can make a variety of foods, using a mix of sweet, savory, cold or hot ingredients that can make up to 300 total combinations. <\/p>\n
The company supplies food ingredients to each robot. Ingredients are pre-cooked in local kitchens in Paris, and Bolk re-stocks each robot twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. <\/p>\n
The company plans to expand in 2022, looking to deploy up to 40 Bolk-bots around France. The initial rollout will be into corporate offices, but the company also has plans to explore other potential venues such as public spaces or retail environments. <\/p>\n
The company was founded by Nicolas Jeanne, who like many in this space point to a mission of democratizing fresh food through the use of robotics.<\/p>\n
The catering sector is constantly evolving and we are building a new self-service food experience, offering companies and their staff a daily menu of delicious and eco-responsible meals at the best possible prices; meals that are made to order and produced in 45 seconds flat, therefore ultra-fresh, said Jeanne. <\/p>\n
