Trial run at Dubai Mall
Flippy 2 will not be everywhere just yet! It will first have to undergo testing at The Dubai Mall’s Wimpy restaurant.
If proven successful, the robotic innovation will be launched across other Americana Restaurants in Dubai.
You know what that means people- maybe, just maybe… coming soon to a Pizza Hut/ KFC near you!

What will the verdict be?
So far, there have been mixed reviews about Flippy 2. There is some apprehension about a robot managing our food, and rightfully so.
However, it also makes the production process quicker and much more efficient, giving employees the time to focus on other tasks like customer service.
Will Flippy 2 be a success? Only time will tell.
