In Australia’s competitive foodservice industry, many businesses struggle with high labor costs, inconsistent dish quality, and tight kitchen spaces. A fast-food chain with 3 locations in Sydney faced these exact challenges until it adopted Foodline’s automatic cooking robots.
About The Australian Client
This fast-food chain specializes in stir-fry meals, a popular choice among Sydney’s busy workers and students. By 2024, the chain had grown to 3 stores but hit two major roadblocks:
1. Peak-hour labor shortages: During lunch (12 PM–2 PM) and dinner (6 PM–8 PM), the team couldn’t keep up with 100+ daily orders, leading to long wait times.
2. Inconsistent taste: Relying on different chefs meant a same meal might be too salty at one store and too mild at another—hurting customer trust.
The owner, Mark Taylor, knew he needed a solution that would cut manual work, boost consistency, and fit his small kitchen spaces.
After researching multiple options, Down Under Bites chose Foodline’s FL-XA460 Commercial Automatic Stir Fry Machine—a model designed for tight Australian kitchens and high-volume output.

Here’s why it was the right fit:
It takes up just 0.5 square meters (perfect for their 10sqm back kitchens).
It cooks 0.2–3.5kg of food per serving, matching the chain’s order sizes.
It runs on AC380V (compatible with Australian commercial power supplies).
Cloud Management System: Mark updates recipes (like a new “lemon grass tofu stir-fry”) with one click—all 3 stores get the new settings instantly. No more sending chefs to each location to train them.
Full-Process Automation: The machine does everything: delivers ingredients at the right time, adds oil/seasoning, cooks, and cleans the pot. Staff only need to reload ingredients.
Small Footprint & High Power: At 0.5 sqm, it fits even the smallest Australian commercial kitchens. The 260°/300° heat options work for all stir-fry styles (from light veggies to crispy meats).
Visualized Cooking: A large window lets staff watch the stir-fry process. This helped Mark test new recipes 50% faster—he adjusts seasoning while watching, instead of waiting for a full cook cycle.
Smoke-Free Design: The enclosed chamber meets Australia’s strict air-quality standards, so the chain avoided fines for excessive kitchen smoke.
Mark’s journey to buying the robot stir fry machine was simple and smooth—here’s the step-by-step process:
1. Initial inquiry: Mark filled out a form on Foodline’s official website, noting his needs (small footprint, high output, Australian voltage). Foodline’s team replied within 24 hours.
2. Virtual demo: Foodline hosted a 30-minute online demo, showing how the automatic stir fry machine works—from ingredient delivery to auto pot washing. Mark asked to test a “chicken broccoli stir-fry” recipe, and the team walked him through the setup.
3. Customization request: Mark wanted to add smoke purification (to meet Sydney’s environmental standards). Foodline agreed to include this feature at no extra cost.
4. Order & delivery: Mark placed the order for 3 machines (one per store) in early 2025. The machines were shipped from Foodline’s factory to Sydney in 3 weeks, with all customs paperwork handled by Foodline.
Results After Using Foodline’s Automatic Cooking Machine
The results were remarkable after using the robot stir fry machines for a month.
1. Faster service: Cooking time dropped from 4–5 minutes per dish to 2 minutes. During peak hours, the chain now serves 300+ customers (up from 200 before)—no more long wait times.
2. Perfect consistency: Every stir-fry uses the same heat (260° for veggies, 300° for meats) and seasoning amounts. Positive customer reviews about “consistent taste” rose by 35%.
3. Lower labor costs: Mark reassigned 2 chefs per store to customer service and prep work (since the machine handles cooking). This cut monthly labor costs by 20%—a big saving for a small chain.
4. Cleaner kitchens: The machine’s enclosed design traps oil, smoke, and grease. Staff now spend 1 hour less per day cleaning the kitchen.
Mark said, “This automatic cooking robot didn’t just fix our problems—it let us grow. We’re planning to open a 4th store next year and buy more stir fry robots to handle the extra work.”
