Wonder Launches Robotic Bowl-Making System at Manhattan Location
On September 14, Wonder unveiled its robotic Infinite Makeline system in a Midtown East location in Manhattan. The automated machine can hold up to 68 ingredients and produce 500 bowls per hour with an average order-to-ready time of under three minutes. This marks the latest development from Spyce robotics technology acquired by Wonder for $186.4 million last year, which it has since expanded beyond Sweetgreen's original salad-focused menu. The Infinite Makeline supports six of Wonder’s restaurant concepts and aims to improve throughput, consistency, reduce costs, repetitive work, and food waste. The system is a key part of the company's strategy for scaling its multiple restaurant brands across hundreds of locations while maintaining quality standards. Wonder also plans to introduce robots handling sauces and mise en place in future expansions. The robotic line will expand next year into tens of locations across the Northeast, DMV area, and Texas. Founded by Marc Lore in 2018, Wonder now operates over 150 locations offering food from up to 30 restaurant concepts per site.
