Nala Robotics

Nala Robotics builds robots for autonomous, AI-enabled kitchens. Its robots are equipped with advanced sensors, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and precision cooking mechanisms that allow them to prepare an extensive range of menu items. The robots in Nala’s portfolio include a robotic fryer called The Wingman that can bread, fry, toss, sauce, and season items like chicken wings and french fries; the Nala Chef, a customizable robot that uses ML to replicate and cook infinite recipes customized to each customer’s preferences; and The Spotless, a fully-automated robotic dishwasher that performs everything from scrubbing to storage. Nala also builds robots that can assemble pizzas, food bowls, and sandwiches—along with BIRYANIMAN, the world’s first robotic biryani chef, capable of cooking up to 100 varieties of biryani with exact consistency.

The company offers its hardware through a number of business models: direct sales, rental, lease, and robotics-as-a-service. Rental options start at $2,999/month for The Wingman and $2,995/month for The Spotless; monthly leasing options for Pizzaiola start at $7,000/month. Under Nala’s RaaS model, on the other hand, customers have full access to Nala’s infrastructure and pay by the dish rather than a flat monthly rate.
