About

Chowbotics built Sally, an autonomous food robot that prepares fresh, customized salads, grain bowls, and other dishes on-demand using pre-portioned ingredients. The company offered a robot-as-a-service model deploying Sally in hospitals, universities, and corporate cafeterias to provide 24/7 fresh food access without requiring kitchen staff. Chowbotics was acquired by DoorDash in January 2021 to expand its automated food preparation capabilities.
