Additionally, it is installed on top of the fryer, maximizing space utilization, and has advantages such as easy oil replacement and floor cleaning. Kyochon plans to enhance uniform chicken taste as well as store operation and work efficiency with the collaborative robot frying solution.

Vice Chairman Song said, “This agreement was made to provide a safer and more efficient store environment for franchise owners operating Kyochon,” adding, “Furthermore, we will do our best to increase satisfaction with the Kyochon brand by delivering consistent taste and improved service to customers.”
