Jeon Hwa-seong's Startup Morning Talk #1004: Leapies Analysis

The YouTube program 'Startup Morning Coffee', hosted by CEO Jeon Hwa-sung, meets viewers live every day at 8:40 AM on the 'Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV' channel, offering in-depth introductions to the core competencies and market potential of promising startups. It has gained significant popularity as a useful information platform that quenches the thirst for knowledge about the startup ecosystem through interactive communication via real-time comments. In a recent broadcast, 'Repeez', a kitchen automation solution company utilizing cloud robotics technology, was spotlighted. Repeez is bringing a new wave to the food tech market by introducing innovative products that enable consistent taste and rapid cooking. In particular, its debut product, the highball robot, is an automated device capable of dispensing a perfect highball in just 3 seconds, and it has been successfully introduced to 28 franchises and 631 stores, dramatically improving store productivity. Repeez has been recognized for its technological prowess and business viability by participating in CNT Tech's Next Elevation support program. Repeez's kitchen automation solutions boast remarkable economic effects. They reduce existing production time by up to 98%, cut costs by 30%, and labor expenses by over 20%. Thanks to this overwhelming efficiency, stores that adopt the solutions have been shown to recover their investment costs within six months. Furthermore, a key strength is their compact design, which maximizes kitchen space utilization compared to conventional large robotic arms, significantly contributing to actual productivity improvements. CEO Jeon Hwa-sung commented on Repeez, saying, "Kitchen automation is an area where many companies in the food tech business are continuously challenging themselves, and Repeez, as a domestic company, is demonstrating a unique presence, especially amidst the prominent activities of Chinese companies." Repeez, which achieved the feat of being selected for TIPS last year, is expected to lead the kitchen automation market by launching a diverse lineup beyond the highball robot.
