your wanders in there and talks about stuff. So if you have products from CES, you want to take in there and share them. You can as well. Today, we have a excellent guest. We're gonna be talking about, they are at the CES show in a virtual sense.

The company is called Robo eats, and this is going to be talking about. They are at the CES show in a virtual sense. The company is called RoboEats, and this is going to be pretty darn amazing. We're going to be talking about Robotic Kitchen. Today I have with me the co-founder. We'll be interviewing him on the show, Alex Barzijian. He is an innovative and entrepreneurial C-level operator whose experience spans a range of industries, including financial services, payments, technology, consumer packaged goods, and loyalty. He's highly skilled at scaling businesses and working with leading brands like Kroger, Lobos, Amazon.com, Starbucks, Google, Apple, and Home Depot. As the group vice president at Blackhawk Network, he was responsible for the U.S. revenue growth of $15 billion,

including digital, physical, and SaaS-based products. Prior to his expanded role, he was the head of original content. Alex has launched new products that become the most successful products in company history, driving large bottom line growth in the triple digits consistently. Most recently, the book Local Motivation was launched in 2018, which became an Amazon bestseller. So we have an author as well. Prior to Blackhawk, he was the founder of Samba Connects, specializing in selling a suite of solutions to over 15,000 SMEs across Canada, US, and the UK, including processing,

gift cards, production, et cetera. Samba Connects, which grew from zero to 60 million in revenue within six years. And he negotiated the sale to Blackhawk Network in 2016. And he's here to talk to us about his newest project at CS 2021. Welcome to the show, Alex. How are you, my friend? Thanks, Chris. I'm doing great. Thanks. Awesome.

So let's talk about what you guys are doing. But first, give us the dot com so people can look these up on the interwebs. It's www.roboeats.com. There you go. And we've got some background on you. Anything more you want to tell us about yourself? Any more plugs you want to plug before we talk about the company? No, let's talk about the company.

All right, let's do that. You know, I mean, you're here, so, you know, you are in the company. Anyway, I'm just kidding around. So tell us about the company. Give us just an overview, and we'll get into some of the details details and then we'll get into what you guys are doing at CES. Yeah, yeah. So thanks again for having us. Actually, the company started with restaurateurs who have 10 restaurants back in 2010.

And they started to automate their back-end kitchen to make it more efficient. They had a real problem with getting, you know, good staff. It was a quick service restaurant and they developed this robot and this robot automation kitchen to kind of take over a lot of the mundane tasks. And, and when I met them, they are a great technologist, wonderful group of folks who have built something extraordinary. My involvement came in last year to help them scale it. The restaurant is ready to go, and the capabilities of the robot to scale in other locations, business campuses is ready. So my job is here to kind of like push it, make it happen in North America and around the world. And the video is pretty cool.

I was taking a watch of the video. So what are you guys launching at CES? We're actually just launching the robot. It's called ARC3. It's like ARC, you know, when you think about Noah's Ark. No, no, it's not that, Chris. It's Autonomous Robot Kitchen. It's the most advanced autonomous robot kitchen in the world.

It cooks about 1,000 hot and cold dishes, up to 80 ingredients, and it spits out meals every 30 seconds. Wow. Yeah, I know. And what's different about this, especially within COVID, it completely self-cleans and sanitizes. So customers don't have to worry about it. Or if you put this in a hospital,

it'll do all of the things that it needs to do to keep it clean. This is really cool. I'm seeing a lot of this in a lot of the press stuff we've seen from CES show. There's lots of UVC devices, lots of cleaning devices, lots of hands-off devices like this is. And it's pretty cool. It's a robot, which is pretty awesome. Yeah, it is. And so you've got this robot arm and this intelligent software that tells it how to make a menu,

how to go clean dishes, and the order in which to cook. And the variety it cooks, it can cook about 1,000 different meals. So if you want a breakfast bowl, it can get that. If you want chicken wings, French fries, Power Bowl, it can cook about a thousand different meals. So if you want a breakfast bowl, you can get that. If you want chicken wings, French fries, power bowl, it can do that. So it's, the diversity is fantastic. That is awesome sauce. I mean, I'm just excited to, can I get one of these for my house? Cause I'm so horrible cook so i need i basically i i i just for my dating i just i go on cook sites and try and find a good uh a person who can cook well but i can't so i i need a robot clearly because you know i don't know i don't know if i can afford

a robot either so uh hopefully you guys take a check. Anyway, I'm just kidding around. If it doesn't bounce. There you go. Well, it's a check. I mean, as long as I got checks, there's money in there, right? I think. I don't know. That explains why the bank is calling. Anyway, guys, so what are some of the, how did you guys come about this technology and develop it? Yeah, so it was really the folks behind it were restaurateurs trying to solve a problem. They partnered with aerospace engineers to say, okay, you know, we're food guys, and we know how to make great tasting food, but we want to automate the whole process. So that was the goal is to create a machine that was self-contained. It's 200 square foot, you can drop it anywhere, school campus, corporate business square foot you can drop it anywhere um school campus corporate business

center you can drop it and it'll spit out a food um on demand what is really cool about this is the software that goes with it chris is you can actually personalize the whole menu so like you said you can come in i mean it's not going to be in your house but you can actually personalize and say i want more broccoli i want less broccoli or going to be in your house, but you can actually personalize and say, I want more broccoli. I want less broccoli. Or if you've got a high blood pressure, you can say, you know, clock back on the sodium. Or if you've got diabetes, you can clock back on the sugar. So you can actually really make it personal.

It sounds like something like, you know, it'll self-regulate your diet. It's like, no, you don't like it'll control the fridge. Like, no, you don't get the soda pop today, Chris. No, not for you. Like, it'll control the fridge. Like, no, you don't get the soda pop today, Chris. No, not for you. No salt for you. We've calculated your caloric intake today. And, yeah, nothing for you. But, no, I watched the video on it.

I was reading some of the details of this. And it's really cool. I mean, it basically, it's not just the robot itself. Do you guys also sell and develop the cooking mechanisms that I saw in the video? Yeah. So when people think about the robot, it's the whole system. So the whole system, the robot, the containers that hold the liquid and hot coal foods are there. And one of the big things here is just food contamination.

Like, I don't want to remind Chipotle and, you know, some the big things here is just food contamination like i don't want to remind chipotle and you know some e-coli but this really but this really cuts down on on contamination because there's no there's no cross um contamination of foods going on so it's actually grabbing a food cooking it cleaning the dish grabbing it again so this this robot software and the whole system works really really well to kick out food every 30 seconds yeah it's pretty amazing man brings the the plate over so it's totally autonomous prepares cooks uh serves a variety of hot and cold meals self cleans and sanitizes i actually need that for me i should become a robot you should just mount my head on it and then it'll just kind of do everything that i don't have to do while i can work or something i don't know watch tv uh it this is interesting too it reduces food waste this is probably important in a world like ours these days

tell us more about that yeah so in in just the u.s alone you got 45 million um food waste that goes out like you know that's a couple of 45 million tons of food waste so that can feed about a quarter of the world's population um and that happens on a daily basis it's just it's it's it's pretty crazy and so this when you have something like this everything's measured and portioned so you know exactly as the consumer there isn't going to be any waste um and when you get the food to fill in there's a lot of waste that happens when somebody gets let's say a head of lettuce from a restaurant and peel off the top pieces of the lettuce and you cut down the middle some parts are bad all

of that is food waste this eliminates all of it wow and that's important today because you know number one we you know we're where everyone's trying to conserve environment and food consumption, food waste. And we see a lot of that, you know, in New York City about, you know, the amount of food that's thrown out. And yet we have people that are starving and everything else. So food waste is definitely important. This is kind of interesting, too. Ingredient storage is a factor in here. Tell us a little bit about that.

Yeah, so it has, there's a couple of key things about the robot system. The robot, RoboEats Arc 3 has 80 cartridges and that holds 50 solid ingredients. So you think about spinach or chicken strips to sous vide steak,

French fries, all the way to 30 liquid ingredients. So that's pasta sauces, that's oil and vinegar, that's Caesar dressing. And the robot is programmed based on the menu that you want. So if you want a Caesar salad, it'll go grab romaine lettuce, it'll grab the Caesar sauce, it'll grab croutons, dump them in, mix it up and give it to the customer really quickly. So that storage case is important. But the key is that you actually don't have to refill this for a thousand meals. So it can go on giving food for a thousand customers before it needs to be refilled. And that's a big deal because you don't need to have

somebody going in, tinkering with it to refill the whole system. That's pretty awesome, man. So do you see, does this need to operate in an environment where it's just the robots interacting with each other? Or is this something that could work in like, say you had 50-50 or 75, 25% humans to robot ratio? Yeah. So, so this is actually meant to be completely standalone. You would have, I would always recommend that in the beginning when you launch this to have a customer, you know,

an employee explain how it works and you need somebody to refill the containers of food, but that's the extent of it. Beyond that, you don't really need human interaction. Like it cleans it by itself. The whole station's got UV lights. And it even will send a signal when food is getting short. So if your chicken strips are a quarter of the way to being finished, it'll send a signal over to the supplier and they'll bring their truck in.

And, you know, you have the human being fill the bag up. See, this is another reason I need to sit at my house. It does the dishes and they'll bring their truck in and you know you have a human being fill the bag up see this is another reason i need to sit my house it does the dishes and stuff for me and then what's also awesome is it'll tell me when i'm out of chicken wings because we can't run out of those um so there you go it's personal it's got some personalization to it where you can easily customize the uh dietary nutrition count with your fingertips. So basically this thing can starve me to death if I'm not nice to it. Yeah. Like you were saying before, if you can regulate your control of substances in the environment,

but no, in the, in the actual app, you can actually say, I want more broccoli, less broccoli. It has the programs that it could be integrated to the hospital system. So as soon as somebody has, you know, they had a surgery,

you can give them a specific meal set to heal them faster. So there's a lot of things you can do to enable it. You can have the paleo diet built right into a version. You can have something that's keto diet version built right into the same menu item. So you can actually go and toggle between the different versions. This is so awesome. And it's made for today's days because, you know, I have a sister in a care center and we've been struggling with the COVID and the COVID getting passed around the care center. Fortunately, she did get COVID and just, she just soared through it. She was asymptomatic. So we are super freaking lucky,

but sadly, a lot of people there didn't have the same experience, but you know, hospitals too are trying to, you know, contain everything and viruses and all that good stuff, especially with the new strain coming out. So I can see this really being an incredible use for those facilities. Yeah. And then when you think about, especially senior care centers, like everybody might have a different diet restriction for sure. Right. And this way literally could be programmed of what you want to, what you should eat.

Not day in and day out, but you can actually program it to, you know, one day it's tomato soup and something else. And you can keep on going with that. And then in the hospitals, it's 24-7. So at nighttime, when most of the food cafeterias are shut down, nurses, doctors have to grab a sandwich or grab something that's pre-made.

This way, they can go and get fresh food made to order custom right there for them. So it really services something on a 24 hour industry. I really, I really love that idea. I've been stuck in hospitals visiting people. Fortunately, I wasn't in them, but I've been stuck there when they close, when the gift shops and everything closes and you're like, Hey man, I want some food. And, and actually it was worse. One of my other sisters had to go to the hospital this year and we couldn't go into the hospital. We had to stay in the lobby and I'm like, I really need some food. And they're like, yeah, it's all closed off, buddy.

But no, this is the future where things are going. Do you see this being adopted in a lot of fast food places or maybe small business? Say I owned a restaurant, you know, just a one stand restaurant. Yeah. Something that would adopt there. Yeah. one stand restaurant yeah something to adopt there yeah i think the fast food industry especially places that have high turnover um look for a variety of different meals or a specific meal you could be an italian restaurant themed or it could be a bowl theme so that that could work

the the also what's happening is that most restaurants nowadays obviously they never had the footprint to think about COVID and social distancing. So this really solves that problem because you don't have to worry about social distancing. You don't have to worry about making employees not bump into each other for a while. And I would imagine this is still going to carry on, even with the vaccine of who's got the vaccine, who doesn't. And, you know, you've got to worry about the reality of it. So this is a a problem that will solve a solution that will solve a lot of those type of problems definitely i mean even in

my my care center my sister's care center uh i mean she has immunity for they say about 90 days at the very least hopefully longer and hopefully by then she'll get the needle of the immune system thing. But, you know, I think there's about half of them or 60% of them that don't want to take the vaccine. So, you know, you're kind of stuck with this dilemma. And I think hospitals across the country, to my understanding, are stuck with this dilemma of, like, do we let these people keep working here or do we just have to basically hurt immunity by inoculating as many people as we can

and let those other people work it out? So there you go. Creates meals in 30 seconds plus. New menu items added in five minutes. I imagine, is there a computer that it works with that you go to and communicate with at Wi-Fi? Is there a pad that it works with that you go to and communicate with the Wi-Fi? Is there a pad that you interact with? Yeah, so we're launching the restaurant in about two weeks. And there's two ways to order.

One will be with an iPad or it'll be just with your phone. So just download the RoboEats app and you can just order it and pre-order it. And it's pretty cool because it'll sense where you are. So if you're 20 minutes away, it won't start making your meal until you're five minutes close to the actual restaurant. Oh, well, you know what ticket number you are and where the food you should pick up at that location. And so yeah, it's really, really seamless and easy, intuitive to order something. That's one of the things I really like about apps and fast food places is because I hate doing lines. And so I love being able to, you know, put in the app and order my thing. And that way, you know, you can zoom through the line

a whole lot quicker because, you know, you don't want to be standing in the lobby for any length of time, at least for the next year. Um, and God, you know, God knows what else is, this is really cool too. It's 24 seven. I know a lot of fast food joints that operate 24 seven, but you rarely see people there. And I've always kind of driven them by them and go, I wonder if they really make a, make or break their money on the 24 seven thing. Um, you know, especially in smaller towns and stuff, I've always been kind of curious about this. Um, and so it can, and there's, there's sometimes where I go there and I don't know where the employees are. Like, you're just like, Hey man, you there, what's going on in there? Um, and so, you know, this, you wonder, you know,

if they're just playing around in there or I don't know, I'm doing Tik TOK videos. So we're watching them. That's usually when I'm doing it late at night. I got all of the Tik TOK. So this makes it so, you know, you can have cost effectiveness, you know what your employees are up to, you know, what things are doing. Is there a video camera on it where you can see what the you can like a buzz in from remote and see what's going on yeah absolutely you can actually log in um we have the capability when we launch the restaurant you can see your food being made so the robot um you can literally

watch the food being made as well and so going back to to your point, Chris, it's interesting because that 24-7, especially North American 24-7 economy or Asia's 24-7 economy, things slow down in the evening, but they're still customers. And if you don't treat those customers well with fresh food, quality ingredients, they're going to go somewhere else. And so this allows you to kind of get that whether you're a convenience store, a grocery store, you know, you service that customer base that helps them achieve a healthy lifestyle or achieve good food. Mm-hmm. And it looks like what you have is there's a whole, like, giant room system to this. You have what I think are the storage bins, and then you have the big arm of

the robot, and then you have the cookers and stuff like that. Is that correct? Yeah, you got it. The storage bins are in a controlled environment, temperature-controlled environment. So depending on the ingredients, it's set at a certain temperature. The arm sits right in the middle. And then the cooking devices would self-clean as well. The cooking devices are like induction cookers and that's one of the patents that we have is the way it actually cooks and oscillates and it's got this really cool i'm getting geeky here but it's got a cool paddle depending on the type of food you want it to make whether it's a stir fry or something that's

with noodle base that rotate the drum in a specific way to cook it based on what you want. And then is that UVC lights that I'm seeing there? You got it. Yeah. So there's, there's lights in the top because of course, it's not good for humans, but it's okay for robots. So yeah, you do, we do that just to double sanitize all the food. Nice. Nice. Yeah. We've, we've been reviewing just a ton of uvc or uv-c products uh on the show in fact we've been using we use here at the house uvc vacuums uh we've got uvc things that you throw your keys and your phone into to clean them it's the it's the latest

greatest thing but yeah you don't want it on your skin no and chris it's interesting i remember going to japan 15 years ago and i would go i was on a on a tour and i they would use the uv light back then oh wow you'd you put your your keys and your phone anything that you would touch and or your blackberry back then through the device or palm palm pilot through the uv light and then you'd pick it up on the other side and they had that back back then and And it's not new tech. It's just being used a lot more because it works. It's probably why they've done better with code than we have. One of the reasons, at least.

Yeah. Japan, they're just so wonderful. They're so advanced than the rest of us. I think they have just like super fast internet and everything else. What haven't we talked about, about your product? What haven't we touched on or covered? No, I think the biggest thing that maybe we didn't cover i mean we call it auto replenish customization but really the application is fairly broad and i think about it

you know grocery and gas the convenience of the 24-7 you know it's great for a quick service restaurant somebody who wants to retrofit their own kitchen or launch a new type of concept, it's great. Right now, not as many people are traveling, but at airports or transportation hubs, it's great because you can actually order your food before you get there and just pick it up and go. Stadiums.

The big one is going to be business centers because when you think about typically, if you've got 3,000 people working in an office, it's not going to be 3,000 people working in an office, it's not going to be 3,000 people showing up now. It's going to be 300 or 400. So it's going to be less possible to get fresh food because the ROI isn't there. So this solves that problem in a big way.

And then, you know, you're right. One of the problems that a lot of fast food companies have or restaurants have, I don't know how much those owners pay attention to. Sometimes I want to call them up and be like, hey, man, are you paying attention? Like if I owned a fast food restaurant or a restaurant, I would always go out and check to see what the line is, the line of cars, the line of people. You know, I've been in those airport jams where you're racing to the plane and you're trying to get food, and I've to bail sometimes just go screw it keep my food um yeah

and uh there's a there's a there's a loss of revenue to it that i don't think a lot of these companies recognize so if you see a huge line of cars i drive to someplace else and i just go i'll just go eat someplace that's more easier to get into same thing with if i see a giant line of cars, I drive to someplace else and I just go, I'll just go eat someplace that's more easier to get into. Same thing with if I see a giant line on a store or, um, et cetera, et cetera. And so that's a loss of revenue to that business because they're not processing quick enough. Um, you know, one of the things, one of the issues that I've always had, cause I study business is like, if you go to a fast food place and the gal says to you, uh, hang on, wait a few minutes, I'll take your order. She's messing up the whole process and usually have a longer line if they approach it that way, rather than take your order,

get that baby cooking and whatever. And so, uh, anytime I've seen that I've seen a mess up. And so the beauty of taking the human element out of this just makes things more efficient, but also provides more revenue. I would, I would guess. Yeah. For the smart, I mean, it's 200 square feet, the typical restaurant, you know, the cooking area alone, the kitchen area is like a thousand. So, so yeah, it's way better ROI and the consistency of the food and the quality of the food. It's hard, you know, it's too bad in the food industry it is all virtual so talking about the robots one thing but the food quality is is amazing like what you get because it is built by restaurateurs the quality of food is consistent um and the taste is really

really great and you can see some of those images on roboeats.com of some of the food menu items just a sample yeah and then they probably the other part is make sure you always get hot fries because there's nothing worse than getting a hot burger with cold fries you're just like oh man i just got gypped and uh all that good stuff i mean i think there's a lot of people are talking about going into space uh what's interesting is i and i'm seeing the space that you have and i don't know if this is just a prototype space, but is this a box delivery system that I'm looking at in the video, or will it be a thing where you'll actually go into, say, a McDonald's, and you'll have to build out the space there?

You can do both, actually. You can actually put it into a 10 by 20 container and drop it in the middle of a mall or outside in a parking lot or in a plaza. How about my garage? You can do that. I know you got a big garage, Chris. I do. It's two cars.

So hopefully there'll be room for one of the cars. That's funny. Or you can actually have it like a restaurant. So you can have it like envision a Chipotle. The robot is at the back and there's a few seats in the front. Chipotle is like, you know, this is, this is the whole reason to have one of these, like this, this is like Chipotle with the CEO just needs to go buy this thing.

That's just it, man. Put it in every store enough with the Chipotle issues. But yeah, I mean, I, I had a friend years ago who he got hepatitis B from Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I'm not kidding. It really damages liver and kidney. His doctor said you can never drink alcohol ever again or anything because you're on the edge. And living in Vegas, I had a lot of different times where, especially like the buffets.

The buffets can get weird in Vegas, I had a lot of different times where, especially like the buffets, the buffets can get weird in Vegas. And one of the problems is Vegas, every casino is a small city unto itself. And every morning there is a small city worth of food that's delivered to the basements. And a lot of times those foods will sit out for events. I've had food poisoning at the Wynn. That's a big deal. You can see the thing on the chris voss show um fortunately i took pictures of my food before i ate it um but we're you know we're doing we're actually doing like a cs show after show yeah showstoppers or pepcom it wasn't their fault but you know they have it catered and so what they do is they have these giant shelves of food and they have them waiting in the hallway. Yeah.

So it'll sit around for an hour, hour and a half and you got bacteria and there you go. So yeah, there's a lot of different places to facilitate that as well. Anything more we need to cover on what you guys are doing there at CES? It's great. I appreciate the opportunity. And I think that last notion of the food at the cross-contamination it's also traceability we there's sense of you know the temperature of the food it you know how long it's been there because you can't rely on humans unfortunately you need robots to assist you in a way and just to just make it safe for individuals i remember

when i got salmonella poisoning man it was the worst yeah experience in my life so ever since then i'm i not that i overcooked my chicken but i i'm pretty close so contamination food safety with robots really assists humans to to make it less less opportune ways for foodborne illnesses to get you or me or anybody else sick So if companies want to reach out to you that are watching this from our CES feed, what's the best way to reach out to you guys, get involved with you guys and find out more? Yeah. So roboyce.com or info at roboyce.com is the best way to kind of reach us. On the website, there's a form you can fill out, name, address, company and email address,

and we'll get back to you pretty quickly. And that's the best way to get a hold of us. All right. And also, if you're at the CES show, you have press access or you have the CTA access, I believe you can just search them on the exhibitor directory, find their thing, get in contact with their PR agent. They have a whole PR package that they sent us of all the different pictures of food and videos on how it

cooks. And I think there's some YouTube videos that you guys have on your channel as well, too. You got it. And we do. There you go. So you can check that out.

Might be a little cost. Usually at this sort of cost rate, they always go, when are you going to need to mail that back to us, Chris? But no, this looks pretty cool, and it's the future. The future.
