Wing Zone is said to be the world’s first fast-casual brand to spec food robotics into its operations at this level.

Miso Robotics CEO Mike Bell said: “We couldn’t be more excited to announce a truly groundbreaking partnership with Wing Zone to incorporate back-of-house automation into all of its future restaurants from this point forward.

“No other brand has accepted automation to this degree, and we don’t take their trust in us lightly. We want to establish Wing Zone as the franchise of the future, and this is just the first step in doing so.”

Last month, Jack in the Box partnered with Miso Robotics to test two of Miso’s robot products, namely Sippy and Flippy 2, at its restaurant in San Diego, California.
