Hyphen, a leader in intelligent food automation for commercial food service, and Motoniq, a physical AI company building the intelligence layer for the physical economy, announced a strategic partnership to bring physical AI to intelligent food automation.

Hyphen’s Makeline automates the assembly of bowls, salads, and high-volume meal formats for leading fast-casual and foodservice management companies. Engineered to handle batch production and complex digital order flows, the system serves some of the world's most progressive culinary brands and has secured strategic investments from top-tier industry leaders.

Daniel Fukuba, Co-founder & CTO of Hyphen, said: "The next chapter for intelligent food automation is not about automating what is easy. It is about making anything automatable at the speed business demands. Foodservice operators have always had to choose between menu ambition and what automation could reliably handle. Partnering with Motoniq removes that constraint."
