As social distancing continues for months to come, finding ways to support in-office workers when they return to work has become a priority.  

Aditya Bali (BASc ’11, mechatronics engineering) is betting his latest venture, , an automated restaurant for the workplace, will be an integral part of the new safety culture while bringing epicurean joy to employees. 

KitchenMate’s unique service includes a self-serve Smart Fridge kiosk that holds up to 70 fresh meals in individually packaged containers. The food is precisely steam-cooked in an Internet-connected Smart Cooker to create a restaurant-quality meal in under 10 minutes.

The ease of use, combined with a wide range of meal options, means employees can minimize their travel in and out of the office while enjoying delicious and nutritious meals safely, Bali says.  [full story]
