## About Lab37

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Lab37 builds robotic kitchen systems that automate food assembly, starting with the Bowl Builder for makeline operations, to help restaurants reduce labor, increase throughput, and deliver consistent quality at scale.
- **Entity Type**: Private (subsidiary of City Storage Systems; no disclosed funding rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Warrendale, PA (near Pittsburgh, PA)
- **Founded**: 2005 (founding team formed at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute, lab G37)
- **Founders**: Not publicly named (founding team from CMU Robotics Institute)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Food robotics / kitchen automation / food service technology
- Target customers: B2B – restaurants, ghost kitchens, food businesses (enterprise and multi-location operators)
- Mission: "Use technology to improve the physical world in ways people can feel" and "build robots for better food" – making high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone through automation.

## Products & Services
- **[Bowl Builder](https://www.lab37.us/)**: A robotic makeline system that automates the assembly of bowls and similar meals. It handles live order assembly from bowl dispense to bag close, adapts to customizations (adding/removing ingredients, allergens, portion adjustments), and claims up to 50% labor savings while doubling output. Type: Hardware (robotic kitchen equipment) with integrated software.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (subsidiary of City Storage Systems, a private holding company)
- **Key Metric**: Already deployed in commercial kitchens, serving thousands of customers weekly (as of June 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: City Storage Systems (parent company); sister companies include CloudKitchens, Otter, and Picnic. No external investors publicly listed.
- **Growth Signals**: Active hiring across multiple engineering roles; expanding from initial product (Bowl Builder) into broader kitchen ecosystem; rapid iteration capability (whiteboard to prototype in hours); real-world commercial deployments.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-stack R&D under one roof**: In-house fabrication shop, electrical engineering lab, testing facilities, and R&D kitchen enable rapid prototyping and iteration.
- **Ecosystem integration**: As part of City Storage Systems, Lab37 works alongside CloudKitchens (ghost kitchen infrastructure), Otter (restaurant tech), and Picnic (food automation) – creating a vertically integrated automation stack for food businesses.
- **Data-driven tuning**: Every gram, step, and variable is tracked and refined, allowing precision and consistency at scale.
- **Proven real-world impact**: Systems already operating in commercial kitchens, not just prototypes.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale Bowl Builder adoption across multi-location restaurant groups.
- Expand the kitchen ecosystem with additional robotic modules and software.
- Continue to reduce labor dependency and operational chaos for food businesses.
- Leverage data from real kitchens to improve automation algorithms.

## Why Work Here
- **Engineering freedom**: "Whiteboard to working prototype in hours" – engineers build, test, and iterate with their own hands in a maker's paradise (full fabrication shop, electrical lab, testing facilities).
- **Immediate impact**: Work is deployed in real kitchens serving thousands of customers weekly; employees see their work making a difference quickly.
- **Culture**: Described as a place where "culinary innovation meets world class engineering" – cross-disciplinary collaboration between robotics, software, hardware, and culinary teams.
