Overview
Chowbotics was an American food robotics company that developed Sally, the world's first fresh food-making robot — a 3x3 foot automated kiosk that assembled customizable salads, grain bowls, and poke bowls from up to 22 ingredients in under a minute. Founded as Casabots in the Techstars Austin accelerator, the company was acquired by Doordash in February 2021 and shuttered in August 2022 after Sally failed to meet internal performance benchmarks.
Clean safety record across 5 verified deployments. Funding runway warrants monitoring: last known round 68 months ago.
