Wonder has introduced its first automated bowl assembly system, the Infinite Makeline, at its Midtown East location in Manhattan. The company revealed the launch in a press release sent via email, following its acquisition of the technology from Sweetgreen as part of an $186 million deal in 2025.
The new system aims to optimize operations by boosting efficiency and enabling expansion into new markets. Wonder intends to roll out the makeline to tens of locations across the Northeast, Texas, and the Washington, D.C. metro area by 2027. The Infinite Makeline, which was redesigned from Sweetgreen’s original system, can produce up to 500 bowls per hour using its capacity of 68 ingredients, with an average order-to-ready time of under three minutes.
This version of the makeline integrates seamlessly with Wonder’s existing technology, including its point-of-sale and kitchen display systems, as well as tools for real-time operational data. Unlike Sweetgreen’s original Infinite Kitchen, this model was customized to support multiple restaurant concepts under one roof—a core aspect of Wonder’s business strategy.

The technology handles repetitive tasks like ingredient dispensing with precision, freeing culinary staff to focus on recipe development and final adjustments. Wonder stressed that the system is not designed to replace chefs but to improve consistency and scalability. “The goal is to combine precision, timing and creativity, allowing chefs’ recipes to be executed consistently at a scale that would be difficult to achieve manually,” the company said.
Wonder recently secured $650 million in Series D funding, bringing its total capital raised to over $3 billion. The infusion could support further deployment of the new technology. Chipotle has also been experimenting with an automated makeline from Hyphen.
