The UK’s first robotic yakitori machine
Upon ordering, customers place an order with the Yari Club staff, who manually load skewers onto the machine’s grabbing arm. Diners can then watch the 1.5-meter-long robotic yakitori machine grasp their order, grill it, and dip it in the proprietary Yari Club sauce.
“It is important for us to make it clear our robot is not replacing the role or job of a human. The robot is an alternative cooking method instead of an oven. We are proud to be the first to bring this fun machine to the UK to add a new dimension to the QSR choices in Central London”, say Yari Club.
The Location
Yari Club is conveniently located five minutes away from Leicester Square and Covent Garden Piazza and three minutes away from Charing Cross.
About Yakitori
Yakitori can be translated to from the Japanese words yaki (grill) and tori (chicken). Yakitori shops are usually small shops specialising in yakitori, taking the form of a compact shop offering take-out services with some seats.
