Aimed at serving people on the go, a city-based entrepreneur has set up the first automated restaurant that serves food from other restaurants within 90 seconds.
Atchayam Foodbox, Founded by Satish Chamyvelumani, is an automated restaurant that serves everything from light tiffin to meal combo packs from renowned restaurants within 90 seconds.
"It took us three years to create and develop this idea. Very soon we will be taking this concept to other cities", he said in a statement.
Customers on the move get to choose food items from their preferred restaurants and pay the amount using credit or debit cards. The packed food would be served fresh to the customer on a conveyor belt from the counter of Atchayam Foodbox, he said.
Besides credit cards, a customer can also pay by cash to the staff at the counter, he said.
Each restaurant associated with Foodbox will be consulted in providing meals. The meals are packed at the partnering restaurants, transported to Foodbox and stored in a automated system before serving, he said.
Atchayam's Foodbox currently operates at two locations in city. By 2015, the company plans to open six outlets across South India, he said.
