    Start-up opens first restaurant where robot makes burgers

    US-based start-up Creator, which deals in burger-making robots, has unveiled its first robot restaurant in San Francisco. The start-up, formerly known as Momentum Machines, will offer fresh burgers that robots can make in a total of five minutes, just for $6. The restaurant, which was under development for eight years, will open to the public in September this year.

    Here is how the burgers are made

    You order your burger on a tablet with the help of a human concierge. A baked-that-day bun is pushed through an air-compressed tube, halved by a vibrating knife, and toasted and buttered. On the conveyor belt, it's squirted with sauces and spices, followed by whole pickles, tomatoes, onions and sliced cheese. Finally, a gourmet patty is plopped on and your burger is ready.

    "We spend more on ingredients than any other burger restaurant"

    Creator, then Momentum Machines, was founded in 2009 by Alex Vardakostas (CEO) and Steve Frehn (COO). Vardakostas said that the burger's price was derived from the savings the company makes on labor and kitchen space. Creator is backed by Google Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and hardware-focused Root Ventures. The company reportedly raised at least $18.3 million in 2017.

    The robot is a 14-feet-long transparent contraption

    Creator wants that eventually, customers be able to customize the exact ratios of all the ingredients they want in their burgers via an app. The machine contains 20 computers, 350 sensors, and 50 actuator mechanisms. Creator will be accessible for lunch on Wednesdays and Thursdays via an online ticketing system before it publicly opens in September.
