NERIC in Partnership with Yettis Kitchen

Founder of the business Yetti Tabai approached us to explore how robotics and automation could enhance their in-person dining experience with the focus being on how to prepare food effectively and efficiently.

NORTH OF ENGLAND ROBOTICS INNOVATION CENTRE AND YETTI’S KITCHEN

is a Nigerian/Caribbean restaurant providing food for dining-in, takeaway and catering for businesses and events.

THE CHALLENGE
Founder of the business Yetti Tabai approached us to explore how robotics and automation could enhance their in-person dining experience with the focus being on how to prepare food effectively and efficiently.

Improving efficiency would allow them to effectively manage the volume of deliveries they receive through various delivery platforms.

SOLUTION

Our experts recommended a conceptual automation system to complete some of the food creation towards the end of the process.
Market research was conducted into functionality, indicative cost, sizes, productivity, and scalability for potential solutions at different stages in the process with a focus on combining the processes.
Our research also looked at off-the-shelf capability in addition to more bespoke solutions. Yetti’s Kitchen now has an awareness of the different types of robotics systems including industrial and collaborative and the benefits they offer. We are continuing to work together to explore further concepts and spatial modelling that can be introduced to the business.

YETTI TABAI,
CO-FOUNDER AND BRAND MANAGER SAID:

“Working with NERIC has allowed

my small business to dream and execute too. They were very attentive and involved in making innovative changes that have transformed the business and we are already seeing a difference. I would highly recommend them.”
