How RoPot worksTell us what you want.
Tell us what you want.
Our arms pick it fresh.
You cook it your way.
- 1
You choose
Pick your broth, set the spice, then tap the ingredients you want from the ring. Twenty-four trays, no menu-reading.

They pick
Two robotic arms turn, reach into the tray you chose and portion it straight into your bowl. You watch the whole thing happen.

You enjoy
The kitchen ladles the broth, boxes it up and texts you. Collect, get home, cook it exactly how you like it.
Fresh ingredients. Faster hands.
Everything on the line is cut that morning. Nothing is portioned until you order it.
To be clear about who does what: the arms select and portion ingredients, and our service robots run the floor. The cooking is done by people — a kitchen team out the back, and a manager who has never once been a robot.
Pick an ingredient. Watch what happens.
Your bowl.
Their hands.
Click any dish and the nearest arm turns, reaches, grips a portion and drops it in the pot — the same thing that happens on the bench at Gouger Street. Two arms, twenty-four trays, no waiting on anybody.

The food, firstHot pot worth
Hot pot worth
reaching for.
Five broths, all made here. The Sichuan base gets erjingtiao chilli and whole peppercorn bloomed in beef tallow; the beef bones go twelve hours. Wagyu sliced to 1.2mm, greens cut the same morning, dumplings pleated by hand before service.
You decide the ratio of meat to greens to noodles. Nobody standardises your bowl but you.
TakeawayBuilt your way.

Boxed for home.
The same ingredients, the same arms, the same broth — packed to travel. Your hotpot, ready to roll.
Broth travels separately
Sealed hot in its own container so your greens don't turn to soup on the drive home.
Everything raw, everything labelled
You cook it at your table, at your pace, at your heat.

Meet RoPotRobots on the floor.
Robots on the floor.
People on the wok.
Almost everyone you meet at RoPot is a robot. The servers bring your trays, and two arms on the ingredient station pick every portion the moment you order it. It makes the whole thing quicker, more precise and — we’ll admit it — more fun to watch.
What the robots don’t do is cook. The broths, the dumplings and every bit of knife work belong to the kitchen team out the back, and there’s a manager on the floor for anything that needs a person.
- The serversRobot
- They carry trays to your table, clear plates and never forget which pot was yours. Say hello — they like it.
- The picking armsRobot
- Two collaborative arms on the ingredient station. They select and portion, precisely, the second you order.
- The kitchenHuman
- Broths, dumplings, knife work, seasoning. Every bit of cooking is done by people out the back.
- The managerHuman
- Runs the floor, sorts your booking, and is the one to talk to when something isn't right.

Two lines,

Hot pot with a helping hand.
The helping hand is literal. Two of them, actually, on the ingredient station.
Good food. Cuter robots.
In that order. The robots are the reason people come the first time; the broth is the reason they come back.
