OMNI by BOTINKIT: A Cooking Robot for Chain Restaurants
OMNI is a
cooking robot from BOTINKIT, a company whose name stands for "Robot in
Kitchen." BOTINKIT provides AI-driven digital kitchen solutions for
catering and food service businesses, mainly chain restaurants, and designs
OMNI for automated stir-fry and pan-fry cooking. The robot prepares anything
from one portion up to 10 kilos at a time and needs about 1 m² of floor space.
BOTINKIT states that its solutions aim to reduce reliance on skilled labor and
keep food quality consistent across locations.
How the Cooking Robot Works
OMNI
heats with induction, a method that warms the pot directly through an
electromagnetic field. The cast iron pot reaches a maximum temperature of 350°C
(662°F) at a heating rate of 8°C (14.4°F) per second, and the wok holds 30 L
(7.93 gal). Full automation means no cooking skills are needed, and BOTINKIT
says dishes can be recreated with "just 2 simple manual steps."
Afterward, an auto cleaning function washes the wok and tubes.
Auto Seasoning
Auto
seasoning handles liquid, oil, dry and sauce ingredients, and BOTINKIT
describes it as key to consistency. Up to 13 seasoning types can be added
simultaneously. The seasoning boxes are made of Tritan™, a type of durable
plastic. Dry and sauce boxes hold 650 ml, while liquid boxes come in a small
size of 700 ml and a large size of 1500 ml.
Cooking Methods and Portions
BOTINKIT
lists four cooking methods, with data from its Taste Lab. Sauté covers 0.2–3 kg
and serves 1–15 people, stir fry covers 0.2–2 kg for 1–6 people, and mix covers
0.3–5 kg for 1–15 people. The fourth group, which includes boil, simmer,
braise, soup and stew, covers 2–8 kg and serves 6–30 people.
Recipes and Cuisines
A cloud
recipe library offers over 10,000 recipes across more than 30 cuisines, with
one-click sharing worldwide. Examples include Yangzhou fried rice from Chinese
cuisine, fajitas and wheat tortilla tacos from Mexican, pad thai from Thai,
pasta from Italian, seafood risotto from Spanish and Penang char kway teow from
Malaysian. New dishes can also be developed through the cloud recipe platform.

OMNI
comes in two models. OMNI-01 runs on 200–230 V with a maximum power of 10 kW
and a recommended current reserve of 34 A, while OMNI-02 runs on 380–440 V with

(396.83 lb) and measures 827 × 920 × 1769 mm.
