Are robots here to steal jobs—or to save an industry that’s struggling to survive?
In this episode of Eat Your Content, I sit down with Nipun Sharma, CEO and Co-Founder of Appetronix, the company behind the world’s first fully autonomous pizza restaurant. Located in Columbus, Ohio’s John Glenn Airport, this revolutionary kitchen uses robotics and AI to make fresh, hot pizzas with zero human hands involved.
Nipun breaks down the real reasons automation is coming to restaurants:
- Why staffing shortages and rising labor costs are pushing restaurants toward robotics
- How AI helps ensure every pizza is perfect, from sauce to slicing
- The truth about whether robots are replacing jobs—or creating entirely new ones
- What a future quick-service restaurant will look like in 2030 and beyond
If you’ve ever wondered what role automation and AI will play in the way we eat, this episode will challenge your assumptions and show you what’s coming next.
Tap play now to hear how robotics are transforming fast food forever—and what that means for workers, customers, and the future of dining.
