and a robotic kitchen doing the hardest work.
Why 101 Chicken
A proven brand
An award-winning recipe, three stores in New Jersey and one in New York. Start with flavors customers already line up for.
A robot-run kitchen
The hardest part of a chicken restaurant, the frying, is handled by a robot. Less hiring pressure, and quality that stays identical across stores.
Training and support
From kitchen setup to daily operations, headquarters works alongside you. Restaurant experience is not required.
What the robot changes
Frying is the most skill-dependent and most dangerous job in a chicken restaurant.
101 Chicken's NSF-certified cooking robot standardizes that entire step. The kitchen keeps running when someone calls in sick, a new hire produces the same quality on day one, and owners spend their attention on customers instead of staffing the fryer.
