ChefGenie, an AI-powered automated kitchen by Singapore company Aikit, will begin a six-month pilot on September 9, 2025, at Punggol Digital District.

Supported by Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), the trial aims to test autonomous kitchens as a manpower-lean solution and boost consumer receptivity.

The launch will feature eight local F&B brands, including Warong Pak Sapari, Springleaf Prata, Eat Pizza, Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks, Takagi Ramen, Tuk Tuk Cha, The Hainan Story, and Instachef.

ChefGenie automates cooking and back-end tasks such as stock tracking, ingredient replenishment, menu adjustments, and demand forecasting.

Aikit said its system can prepare meals to order in minutes, helping businesses tackle manpower shortages, cut costs, and maintain quality consistency.

During the pilot, ChefGenie will serve 4,000 meals at S$1.99 (US$1.5) each.
