Longstanding pizzeria opening new location equipped with only robots

You’ll still be able to order a cheese pizza at this new concept, but no human hands will touch it.

Donatos, the Columbus-based pizza chain known for Columbus-style, square pies, is opening a new location in John Glenn International Airport – and it will have a fully autonomous kitchen.

According to the press release, customers will be able to order a 10-inch cheese or pepperoni pizza on a touchscreen or QR code at the Hanger 815 dining room. Then, a robot will make the pizza, which can all be seen through a viewing window. This will only take about five minutes.

If robots making your pizza isn’t quite your thing, there are still two other Donatos restaurants in the airport, with a larger menu and human employees there to help.

Robots are nothing new to Donatos. Almost two years ago, they announced they’d be debuting a completely robot-run restaurant in hopes to tackle labour shortages, environmental sustainability and restaurant profitability – delivering the best quality food and value to consumers,” according to a press release.
