"Next Generation Restaurant Chains."
London food-service robotics company founded in 2023; builds the Fusion kitchen automation system, rated for up to 360 bowls per hour, now under REEF.
KAIKAKU is a food-service robotics company based in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2023 by a team led by chief executive Josef Chen. In 2026 the company joined REEF Technology's platform while continuing to operate under the KAIKAKU name and brand.
The company builds Fusion, a modular back-of-house automation system that uses a series of dispensing funnels and a conveyor to portion pre-prepared ingredients such as vegetables, proteins, and sauces into bowls for quick-service restaurants; the system is rated for a theoretical throughput of up to 360 bowls per hour, with kitchen staff completing final mixing and seasoning by hand. KAIKAKU has run pilot deployments of Fusion in London restaurants to refine the hardware and software, aiming at labor shortages in UK quick-service kitchens.
KAIKAKU raised seed-stage venture funding before joining REEF, whose platform is backed by more than $1.5 billion in outside investment from backers including SoftBank and Mubadala.
