Q. Why did you choose Barun Chicken
among so many chicken brands?A.
From the customer’s point of view, the philosophy of frying only 58 chickens per oil batch felt strong enough to build trust and confidence in the food. -
Q. Has switching to an AI robot store helped financially?A.
Sales at AI robot stores are more than twice those of regular stores, and profitability is higher. We improved productivity by 200%+ and upgraded working conditions. We also expanded dine-in sales and reduced delivery-related expenses—breaking out of the “high sales, low profit” trap -
Q. What was the biggest difference
after converting from a regular store to an AI robot store?A.
The working environment for employees has dramatically improved. Previously, we faced tremendous stress from repeatedly hiring, training, and losing skilled staff once they became proficient. Since switching to an AI robot store where robots handle employee tasks, recruitment stress has decreased significantly, allowing us to focus more on customers—leaving both us and them satisfied with better service. -
Q. Any other advantages you’d share
with future franchise owners?A.
Frying chicken manually meant living with wrist pain from the surprisingly heavy oil-draining baskets. Rest days were spent at the hospital for physical therapy or routinely slapping on pain patches. Now Ba:Chef handles it all, eliminating my wrist pain completely—plus we save big on fixed costs like hiring expenses, insurances, holiday pay, overtime, severance, team dinners, and snacks.
