Overview
Lab37 builds robotics and software for automated food assembly in restaurants and food production. Its flagship system, Bowl Builder, runs the makeline from bowl dispensing and ingredient portioning through lid application, labeling, and bagging. It uses thermally controlled dispensers, integrates with point-of-sale and delivery systems, and supports configurable recipes and customer modifications. The modular setup is designed for deployment across multiple locations and a range of bowl-based meals and ingredients. Compared with others, Lab37 focuses on end-to-end kitchen infrastructure that links robotics with software, POS and delivery, enabling higher throughput, consistency, and easier scale across sites. Its goal is to help operators address labour shortages, reduce order errors, and improve margins by automating the meal assembly process.
