EDEKA Ristow launches first autonomous goodBytz robot kitchen in Schleswig-Holstein

goodBytz is marking another milestone in the evolution of meal provision. At EDEKA Ristow in Kiel-Heikendorf, the food-tech start-up’s autonomous robot kitchen is now in use. This makes it the first store of Germany’s largest grocery retail chain to offer a fully automated, hot fresh-food service directly in store.

A kitchen system has been installed that can prepare complete dishes from raw vegetables and fresh ingredients in a minimal footprint. The robot kitchen operates fully autonomously, from cooking and dispensing to independently washing the pots. This allows supermarkets to expand their range and offer customers a high-quality hot meal at any time.

The installation in Kiel-Heikendorf demonstrates how modern food technology works today: with modular, scalable systems that can be individually configured for different locations and requirements. It represents an important step in goodBytz’s strategy to make fresh meals available where people shop every day, and to redefine the range of offerings in German retail.
