Engineering The
Future of Food

At Lab37, culinary innovation meets world class engineering. Were building robotics for better food - enabling operators to make high quality, convenient food at a price point accessible to everyone

Where Better
Food Begins

Where Better Food Begins

What began as an empty warehouse in North of Pittsburgh is now home to roboticists, engineers, and fabricators obsessed with changing the future of food. It’s where ideas become prototypes, prototypes become systems, and every detail gets refined to make the perfect meal at scale.

  • A fully equipped R&D kitchen

  • A modern, high-precision fabrication shop

  • Engineering offices built for rapid innovation

  • Advanced electrical and hardware labs

  • Streamlined assembly facilities

  • Real-world testing environments

Our Vision: Reimagining the Future of Kitchens

We imagine a world where automation becomes the quiet backbone of every restaurant and food business, making food more consistent, more affordable, and more accessible. Our technology gives operators the ability to produce perfect meals at scale without the chaos that holds kitchens back. By combining robotics with real data from real kitchens, we create systems that adapt, learn, and improve every service.
