The menu is simple, comprised of burgers, cheeseburgers and fries. Guests will check in with their PopID accounts on self-ordering kiosks and will be able to watch their food being cooked by the fully automated grill and Flippy fry stations. Uniquely, the grill robot will grind beef in real-time after an order is placed.
The AI-powered restaurant will also offer a pseudo-museum experience, including dancing robot arms from retired Flippy units, 3D-printed artifacts from past development, photo displays and more.
