Pizzeria owners and operators in the U.S. can now pre-order the new automated Picnic Pizza System from Picnic, a leader in food automation technology. In a recent press release, the company unveiled its robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing structure after completing successful pilots and deployments with customers in the restaurant, hospitality, entertainment and theme park industries.
Monthly subscription pricing for the Picnic Pizza System ranges between $3,500 and $5,000, depending on configuration and production volumes. Picnic said it will manufacture and install existing customer orders through 2021, and new system orders will begin to ship in 2022.
The Picnic Pizza System is a modular and configurable pizza assembly system designed to help restaurateurs save time, money and labor through kitchen automation technology. The system uses any restaurant’s existing menu and assists operators in making up to 100 pizzas per hour with consistent results.
The pricing model includes free delivery and installation and requires minimal training, the company said in the press release. It’s described as “ideal for businesses of any size, from large corporations to individual-owned pizzerias.”
Through the Picnic robotics-as-a-service subscription model, the system requires no upfront costs, includes free on-site maintenance checks, and is monitored 24 hours a day for maximum uptime.
