Bringing K-Food to a major event

Serving food at a major event brings a different set of demands. Large crowds, continuous service, and limited preparation time make an organized and repeatable workflow especially important.

At the 2026 US Open, one of our customers served freshly prepared kimbap in a busy foodservice environment, bringing a familiar K-Food favorite to guests at one of New York's most recognized sporting events.

How kimbap automation supported high-volume prep

Preparing kimbap at volume means repeating the same steps throughout service. Rolls need to maintain a consistent shape, while finished kimbap needs to be sliced cleanly and evenly before serving.

Roboroller Deluxe supported the rolling process, while Slice Pro supported clean, consistent slicing. Together, the two machines helped create a more streamlined and repeatable preparation workflow for the event.
