Every day restaurant teams make the magic happen. They keep the line moving, the quality consistent, and the guests smiling even during those you-can-feel-the-rush moments. And behind every great brand there is a crew showing up with heart, hustle, and pride. We see that effort and we are cheering for them all year long. At Aniai we are building technology that supports the people who keep the industry running. Smarter grills. Better data. More consistency. Less daily chaos so teams can focus on what really matters - serving great food and creating great experiences. To every operator, manager, and crew member who brings the brand promise to life. We appreciate you and we are excited to build the future of kitchen innovation with you. #HappyThanksgiving from Aniai

𝑻𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑲𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒔 For years, Teflon has quietly played a supporting role in the busiest commercial kitchens. Not flashy. Not talked about often. But essential. Teflon sheets were originally adopted in high volume kitchens to reduce sticking, improve heat transfer, and protect grill plates. Operators liked the benefits, but the sheets also came with challenges. They needed constant cleaning, and replacing them could get expensive for heavy use environments. Because of this, adoption stalled in many kitchens. At Aniai we revisited this history and asked a simple question. What if the benefits of Teflon could be kept, but the pain could be removed? And now it is driving the next evolution of the Alpha Grill. Curious about applications of Teflon in automated kitchens? 🙌🏼 Follow along to learn more about the science, safety, and operational value behind this everyday material.

When you’re running a busy kitchen, reliability and safety aren’t optional, they’re critical. That’s why Alpha Grill comes fully certified with ETL Sanitation and UL, giving operators confidence every time it hits the line. What do these certifications really mean in day-to-day operations? ✨ ETL Sanitation Tests the Alpha Grill to the same NSF/ANSI sanitation standards commonly used in the industry. This confirms the grill is designed for real-world kitchens: cleanable surfaces, food-safe materials, and construction that supports strict hygiene protocols. It fits right into the compliance expectations of QSRs, franchises, and foodservice audits. ⚡ UL Certification Verifies electrical and fire safety across the product — wiring, components, system behavior, all tested under tough conditions. It’s built to run safely in high-volume kitchens and aligns with the requirements inspectors look for before installation. For operators and franchise owners, these aren’t just badges. They remove friction from approvals, support multi-location rollouts, and offer peace of mind that the Alpha Grill meets industry standards from day one. A lot of innovation goes into performance… but just as much goes into making sure it’s safe, reliable, and ready for real restaurant environments. #KitchenInnovation #RestaurantTech #QSR #CommercialKitchens #AlphaGrill #EquipmentCertification #ETL #NSF #UL

Franchise restaurant owners know that consistency and efficiency are key to serving great food profitably. Automation is making kitchens smarter and reports mention that tech-forward franchises generate over 50% more value than competitors. The Alpha Grill’s touchscreen-equipped clamshell grill exemplifies this trend, putting advanced automation controls at the operator’s fingertip Here’s what operators love most: - Program and save recipes for every item on your menu - Switch between modes or go manual anytime - Adjust temperature in seconds — no waiting - Activate cleaning mode to prevent accidents and grease build-up 🤯 Even cook different recipes on the left and right grill at the same time The result? 65% faster cook speeds. Fewer hands needed per shift. Zero compromise on quality. Keep your kitchen efficient, consistent, and versatile - all with just one piece of equipment.

QSR Magazine recently asked why restaurant automation still can’t scale. But across Korea’s burger market, we’re already seeing what scaling looks like. At Aniai, 50+ Alpha Grill units are now running in leading burger chains like Lotteria, Bas Burger, and New York Burger - delivering 200+ patties per hour, consistent quality, and record operational efficiency. The article argues we’re still waiting for robots to master “articulation” — fine-motor skills to mimic human hands. But Korea’s success proves that the automation that scales isn’t the one that copies humans. It’s the one that fits seamlessly into the existing workflow to create operational efficiency. Instead of flipping burgers like a cook or a robotic arm, Alpha Grill leverages dual-sided cooking with precision temperature control and robotic spatula automation. No flipping. No variability. Just predictable results, every time. Korea’s lessons for operators everywhere: ✅ Start with high-volume, repetitive stations where ROI is clearest ✅ Frame automation as staff empowerment, not replacement ✅ Measure value beyond wage savings: consistency, peak capacity, training flexibility ✅ Integrate into existing workflows rather than redesigning the whole kitchen The technology is ready. The economics work. The operational model is proven. Korea’s $3.6B burger market shows how automation can become a growth driver, not a gimmick. The “30% adoption tipping point” the article mentions? It’s not 3–5 years away - in Korea, we’re watching it happen right now. And as operators around the world learn from early deployments, kitchen automation isn’t waiting for the future, it’s proving its value today. What lessons from early adopters do you think could translate best to your operations? 👉 Read the full article here - https://bit.ly/47BQlJ5 #RestaurantTech #KitchenAutomation #QSR #FoodTech #RestaurantInnovation #AlphaGrill

Opening your 2nd, 3rd, or 10th location? Here's the thing nobody tells you: Your biggest risk isn't the lease. It's not the marketing budget or anything else. It's consistency. Can you deliver the same quality burger at Location #5 that you did at Location #1? Can you train new staff quickly? Can you maintain speed during peak hours without burning people out? This is where equipment matters more than most operators realize. Alpha Grill was designed for scale: → Pre-programmed recipes ensure consistency across all locations → Minimal training time (if you can press a button, you can run it) → Built-in automation reduces labor dependency → Same quality, every time, everywhere Scaling is hard. Your equipment shouldn't make it harder. Thoughts? What's been your biggest challenge with multi-unit expansion?  #RestaurantGrowth #Franchising #MultiUnit
