Silicon Valley’s newest celebrity chef goes by just one name, Sally. This chef has just one specialty: salad. Still, Sally's creators claim the machine will make you the most perfectly proportioned salad you’ve ever eaten: through science.
Sally is a green-and-brown robot, a brand-new creation from Chowbotics Inc. and a major new player in a potential multi-billion market for food-service robots.
Sally occupies about the same amount of space as a dorm room refrigerator, and uses 21 different ingredients—including romaine, kale, seared chicken breast, Parmesan, California walnuts, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives—to craft more than a thousand types of salad in about 60 seconds, while the customer watches the process.
The benefits of Sally are manifold, according to Sekar. “Sally is the next generation of salad restaurant,” he claims, comparing it to chains such as Chopt and Fresh & Co. For one thing, a robot can make salad faster than a human can. Also, you will know precisely how many calories your salad is delivering.
