ChefGenie AI Kitchen Pilot Launches in Singapore

ChefGenie, an AI-powered automated kitchen developed by Singapore-based Aikit, will launch its six-month pilot program on September 9, 2025, at Punggol Digital District.

Backed by Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), the initiative aims to evaluate autonomous kitchens as a manpower-lean solution for the food and beverage (F&B) sector, while also testing consumer acceptance. The pilot will feature eight well-known F&B brands—Warong Pak Sapari, Springleaf Prata, Eat Pizza, Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks, Takagi Ramen, Tuk Tuk Cha, The Hainan Story, and Instachef—making it one of the most comprehensive trials of automated kitchens in Singapore.

Key Highlights

• ChefGenie AI kitchen pilot launches Sept 9 in Singapore
• Features 8 popular F&B brands in autonomous cooking trial
• 4,000 meals to be served at S$1.99 each during pilot

ChefGenie is designed to automate both cooking and back-end tasks, including stock tracking, ingredient replenishment, menu adjustments, and demand forecasting. According to Aikit, the system can prepare meals within minutes, helping restaurants address labour shortages, reduce costs, and maintain consistent food quality.

As part of the trial, 4,000 meals will be served at an introductory price of S$1.99 (US$1.50) each, making the pilot highly accessible to consumers. If successful, ChefGenie could signal a shift in Singapore’s F&B landscape, where automation and AI become essential in driving productivity, efficiency, and scalability.
