High-Throughput Double Frying Automation
SmartChefs enables automatic, hands-free double frying using its modular cooking chambers.
A food item is first loaded into a heated cooking chamber, where it is fried to a programmed doneness. Once the initial cook is complete, oil is automatically drained into a secondary cooking chamber, leaving the food behind for controlled cooling, resting, or seasoning—without manual handling.
If double frying is required, the food is seamlessly transferred back into the original cooking chamber, where the oil has already been reheated to a precise set temperature. This allows the second fry to begin instantly, delivering consistent texture, crispness, and quality every time.
The entire process is automated, repeatable, and optimized for high-volume operations—eliminating labor, timing errors, and workflow bottlenecks commonly associated with traditional double frying.
Use Cases Enabled by the SmartChefs Platform
Optimized for High-Volume Hot Wing Operations
SmartChefs’ automated double-frying workflow is purpose-built for hot wing franchises that rely on precise fry timing, consistent crispness, and repeatable sauce application.
Wings can be fried once for par-cook, automatically rested or cooled, then instantly re-fried at a controlled oil temperature to achieve the ideal exterior crispness without overcooking the meat. Immediately after frying, wings can be transferred to a dedicated seasoning or sauce chamber, where dry rubs or liquid sauces are applied uniformly—without manual tossing or labor-intensive handling.
This fully automated sequence ensures:
Consistent wing texture across every batch
Precise control over fry-rest-fry timing
Uniform seasoning or sauce coverage
Higher throughput during peak demand
By eliminating manual transfers, basket shaking, and hand-tossing, SmartChefs reduces labor, improves food safety, and delivers franchise-level consistency at scale.
Autonomous Food Kiosk (Concept Application)
This video demonstrates an early concept of a SmartChefs-powered autonomous food kiosk.
The same modular cooking architecture used in back-of-house kitchens can be deployed inside a self-contained kiosk to deliver fresh, hot food in locations such as airports, campuses, and hospitals.
Concept visualization. Deployment model shown is one of several possible SmartChefs applications.
Multi-Function Triangular Cooking Chamber with Integrated Oil Straining
Dual-Mode Cooking and Oil Management in One Module
The SmartChefs cooking chamber features a purpose-designed triangular geometry with a built-in strainer, enabling multiple cooking methods and automated oil management within a single modular unit.
One face of the chamber provides a flat, stable cooking surface for pan-frying and searing meat patties and proteins. The angled faces guide ingredients into controlled motion, allowing the same chamber to perform active stir-frying of noodles, rice, and mixed dishes.
An integrated strainer zone is built directly into the chamber geometry, allowing cooking oil to be automatically separated from food during draining, resting, or transfer steps. By controlling chamber orientation and flow, oil can be efficiently strained and redirected without removing the food or requiring manual intervention.
This integrated design enables:
Pan frying and searing with uniform surface contact
Stir frying with continuous guided motion
Automated oil straining and return to a dedicated oil chamber
Seamless transitions between cooking, draining, and finishing
By combining cooking, motion control, and oil management into one standardized chamber, SmartChefs reduces system complexity while increasing throughput, consistency, and menu flexibility.
Automated Pho & Soup Preparation — Labor-Saving & Highly Adaptable
SmartChefs automates the preparation of complex soups such as pho by cooking multiple components in parallel. Noodles are precisely cooked in one Cooking Chamber, while proteins and vegetables are prepared simultaneously in a separate chamber—each with independently controlled time and temperature profiles.
When each component reaches its programmed doneness, the chambers automatically combine to deliver a perfectly balanced, consistent bowl of pho or soup—without manual coordination.
By replacing multiple manual cooking steps, SmartChefs reduces kitchen labor requirements, minimizes training, and eliminates timing errors during peak hours. The same modular Cooking Chambers can be rapidly reprogrammed or reconfigured to support a wide range of soup styles, broths, proteins, and regional variations, enabling fast menu adaptation without additional equipment or footprint.
High-Volume Automated Boba & Beverage Production
SmartChefs enables high-throughput, fully automated boba and beverage production within a compact footprint. Boba pearls are continuously cooked in a dedicated Cooking Chamber while a parallel blending module simultaneously prepares tea, milk-based drinks, or smoothies at programmed consistency and temperature.
By running both processes concurrently and combining them automatically at completion, SmartChefs delivers rapid, repeatable output at scale—producing large volumes of boba beverages while occupying the space of a single worker and replacing multiple labor positions. The result is faster service, consistent quality, and significantly lower labor and real-estate costs for high-volume boba and beverage operators.
Food Truck Adaptation — High Throughput, Permit-Friendly, Franchise-Ready
SmartChefs’ ultra-compact footprint makes it uniquely suited for food truck operations. A single SmartChefs unit can replace multiple traditional appliances, delivering high meal throughput per hour with consistent quality—enabling food trucks to serve peak demand without bottlenecks.
By consolidating cooking, timing, and food handling into one enclosed, automated system, SmartChefs simplifies health department compliance and inspections, reducing operational risk and permitting friction across jurisdictions.
Designed as a standardized, programmable platform, SmartChefs enables food truck operators and franchises to replicate menus, workflows, and output across multiple locations—dramatically reducing training requirements while ensuring consistency and scalability.
Home adaptation
Reimagining the home kitchen as an intelligent food platform.
SmartChefs brings industrial-grade food automation into the home—creating a personal, always-on nutrition system available 24 hours a day. Each meal is precisely prepared and customized to individual health goals, from personalized morning shakes to complete lunches and dinners drawn from thousands of programmable recipes.
As ingredient delivery evolves toward on-demand and autonomous logistics, SmartChefs becomes the execution engine—handling cooking, blending, timing, and consistency with minimal human input.
This is more than convenience.
It is a shift toward hyper-personalized nutrition, reduced waste, and a more sustainable food ecosystem.
The future of food is no longer one-size-fits-all.
It is thousands of possibilities—optimized for one person, one meal at a time.
