The trial will help Domino’s gain insight into how the new automated pizza station would benefit its employees in producing fresh, consistent pizza at the store.

Picnic Works said that its pizza station has been designed to automatically assemble the pizzas by applying sauce, cheese, freshly sliced pepperoni and other ingredients.

Picnic CEO Clayton Wood said: “As a global leader in pizza with more than 3,400 stores in ten markets, and the recent announcement it intends to acquire three more markets, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd has long been a pioneer in restaurant innovation.

“After many months of laying the groundwork for a robust and fruitful partnership, we’re thrilled to continue applying our award-winning food automation experience to help Domino’s further explore the benefits of automation.”
