Automated food patty cooking apparatus

A food patty cooking apparatus for griddling hamburger or sandwich patties with a timed rotational cycle, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing having a switch on and a switch off button disposed on an outer surface of the housing;
• at least four supporting elements attached to the bottom of the housing, the supporting elements are configured to provide support to the housing when the housing is placed on the ground;
• a horizontal rotating griddle mounted on the housing for roasting the plurality of patties, the horizontal rotating griddle includes a plurality of dividers;
• a dispensing component attached to the griddle for dispensing patties onto the griddle between the dividers of the horizontal rotating griddle for frying, the dispensing component comprising:
• a plurality of horizontal trays stacked on top of one another in a tower tray holder, the tower tray holders adapted for moving patties either up or down depending on which type of patty is requested;
• and
• an actuated push component for pushing each patty from horizontal tray onto the horizontal rotating griddle;
• a flipper capable of moving either direction attached to a chute slide and associated with the horizontal rotating griddle for flipping each patty.

A process for automatically cooking a plurality of patties using an apparatus, the process comprising:

• receiving an order placed by a customer on a user interface;
• pushing a switch on button disposed on an outer surface of the apparatus;
• dispensing the patties onto a horizontal rotating griddle between dividers of a horizontal rotating griddle for frying via a dispensing component;
• stacking a plurality of horizontal trays on top of one another in a tower tray holder;
• moving the patties either up or down depending on which type of patty is requested in the tower tray holders by using an AI control module;
• pushing each patty from horizontal tray onto the horizontal rotating griddle via an actuated push component;
• detecting temperature of the patties using temperature sensors which are linked to the artificial intelligence (AI) control module to optimize rotational speed and a heating element's temperature;
• flipping each patty using a flipper attached to a chute slide and associated with the horizontal rotating griddle that is capable of moving either direction;
• and
• delivering the patty to a conveyor belt via the chute slide, and then into a storage bin.
