Baton Rouge-based startup Speedy Eats is laying the groundwork to create the first fully-automated restaurant in the city, partnering with Seattle-based food service technology Picnic Works to feature the company’s autonomous pizza ovens.
Founded in 2016, Picnic Works develops specialized technology for food service.

The standalone restaurant-in-a-box concept is meant to be placed indoors or outdoors or in empty parking lots and is open to anyone at any time of day or night.
