  It’s 2021 and while the restaurant industry is far from its earliest incarnation, one thing that hasn’t changed is the constant drive towards greater efficiency. And efficiency requires innovation and that’s where the robots come in.

  What is cloud kitchen and how does it work? A  cloud kitchen  is a delivery-only restaurant that has no physical space for dine-in.

  What started as an attempt towards the prevention of vast amounts of animal suffering and environmental degradation, has now become a very popular dietary and lifestyle choice amongst customers.

Alarmingly, the UN has reported that ‘about 190 million Indians remain undernourished. It is further estimated that the value of food wastage in India is around ₹92,000 crores per   annum .’ Restaurants are one of the major stakeholders in the food value chain who will play a critical role in food wastage and will have to step up to minimize global food waste.
