At a special neighborhood canteen in Wangjiang Subdistrict, Shangcheng district, two AI smart robots work behind the scenes preparing meals for customers.

Diners simply scan a QR code to place their orders, then collect their food by scanning another code at the pickup machine once the dishes are ready.

The canteen now can serve more than 30 different dishes daily, offering a full range of cooking styles including steaming, stir-frying, boiling, and baking.
