At MenuSifu, we’ve always believed that technology can elevate the dining experience.
Our mission is to help restaurants modernize through digital solutions, from intelligent POS systems to AI-driven tools that streamline operations.
This year, we took that vision to the next level at the 2024 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show in Chicago,
where we proudly announced a strategic partnership with Hestia Robotics—a global leader in AI-powered cooking automation.
The collaboration aims to deeply integrate intelligent hardware with system platforms,
delivering seamless connections between front-of-house and kitchen operations.
Together, we are creating an end-to-end intelligent restaurant ecosystem that helps Chinese restaurants reduce labor costs, standardize quality, and improve kitchen efficiency, empowering operators to scale faster and serve better.
Founded in Hong Kong in 2018, Hestia Robotics combines cutting-edge automation with deep culinary expertise.
The company’s mission is simple: make cooking more efficient, consistent, and delicious.
Hestia’s fully automated multicooker robots are now used across China, Japan, and the U.S.,
bringing precision temperature control, automated ingredient handling, cloud-based recipe management, and self-cleaning capabilities to professional kitchens.
With Hestia’s CookOS 4.0 and smart kitchen modules (including refrigerators, conveyors, seasoning dispensers, and robotic cooking units),
restaurants can automate the entire process—from ingredient prep to final plating.
Now integrated with MenuSifu’s POS system, restaurants can synchronize ordering with kitchen production.
Orders are automatically dispatched, ingredients precisely measured, and dishes cooked to perfection—in just 2 to 3 minutes per order.
The result? Higher throughput, reduced labor costs, and consistently high-quality dishes, every time.
Hestia automated stir-fry robots replicate authentic Chinese stir-fry techniques through AI-powered learning.
The team has digitized master chefs’ wok-tossing and heat control methods into data-driven recipes,
allowing even chain restaurants to achieve Michelin-level results.
Using machine learning, Hestia captures tens of thousands of cooking data points,
such as pan-tossing rhythm and precise heat control, converting them into repeatable, digital recipes.
Top restaurants are already seeing the benefits.
Hong Kong’s Shu Xiang Men Di (featured in the Michelin Guide for 11 consecutive years) and Tokyo’s SMART Chinese Akasaka both use Hestia to deliver consistent, top-quality Chinese cuisine.
For Chinese restaurants looking to expand, consistency has always been a challenge,
especially given the labor-intensive nature of stir-fry cooking and high turnover rates among kitchen staff.
Hestia solves this problem with precision automation.
Each dish is prepared exactly to recipe, ensuring the same taste, quality, and presentation across locations, regardless of staffing changes.
With over 50% of U.S. restaurants now operating under chain models, this type of intelligent kitchen automation is key to driving scalable growth.
Importantly, Hestia is not designed to replace chefs, but to empower them.
By automating repetitive kitchen tasks, chefs can focus on innovation, presentation, and customer engagement,
Hestia turns cooking into a more creative, rewarding experience.
In this way, technology and human talent work hand in hand to deliver the best possible dining experience.
From the full-featured Hestia Pro to the Hestia Standard and standalone cooking units, restaurants can choose the ideal setup for their size and needs. Automated ingredient loading, cooking, and cleaning ensure smooth, efficient operations.
After basic training, unskilled staff can manage up to three machines at once, producing 60–80 dishes per hour—perfect for handling peak service periods.
SyncKitchen software supports over 200 recipes, allowing remote management and fine-tuning. Dishes maintain consistent flavor and quality across all locations.
An experienced team in Hong Kong and the U.S. provides full system support, regular updates, and hands-on training—ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
Smart cooking robots represent an irreversible trend in restaurant innovation. In the near future,
kitchens will no longer be smoke-filled environments requiring constant physical labor.
Instead, intelligent robots will handle precise cooking tasks, producing delicious dishes quickly and consistently.
With Hestia fully integrated into MenuSifu’s POS platform, restaurants can achieve an end-to-end digital workflow—from order to payment to delivery—creating new opportunities for efficiency, quality, and growth.
Vertically, MenuSifu connects front-of-house operations to back-of-house automation.
Horizontally, its cloud services enable unified management of multi-location chains—building a flexible, intelligent restaurant ecosystem.
This is more than a technical upgrade, it is a critical driver of future success for modern restaurants.
By embracing these innovations, restaurant businesses can enhance efficiency, stay ahead of market trends, and seize new growth opportunities.
Hestia is now seeking U.S. distribution partners, join us and lead the next wave of smart dining innovation!
