About the company

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.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Lab37 says Bowl Builder is already operating across U.S. restaurants in 2026.
  • The company’s site claims 300 bowls hourly and 40%+ labor reduction.
  • Atoms’ $1.7 billion funding in 2026 gives Lab37 capital for manufacturing and sales.

What critics are saying

  • CloudKitchens cut staff and closed sites in 2023, 2024, and Oakland in 2025.
  • Lab37 still discloses no system count, customer list, or audited unit economics.
  • If chain adoption stalls, Lab37 remains a demo product inside Kalanick’s unproven Atoms stack.

What makes Lab37 Robotics unique

  • Lab37’s Bowl Builder automates bowl assembly end-to-end, from dispense to bag close.
  • The system integrates POS and delivery orders, matching restaurant workflows rather than standalone robotics.
  • Atoms backs Lab37 with CloudKitchens facilities, creating real-world testing and deployment infrastructure.
