Accelerating the commercial rollout of AI-powered digital kitchens.
Shenzhen-based Tingting Technology (不停科技) recently announced the completion of a nearly 100 million yuan Series A+ funding round. The round was led by Huashan Capital (WestSummit Capital), with participation from Future Technology, an ecosystem fund affiliated with Professor Bingqiang Gao. Existing investors include Clear Water Bay Fund, affiliated with Professor Zexiang Li, and ZhiXing No. 1 Fund, affiliated with Professor Jie Gan — both of which have now invested above their pro-rata across three consecutive rounds. Xingchen Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor for subsequent financing. The proceeds will be used for product R&D and global delivery.
Tingting Technology provides integrated hardware-software AI digital kitchen solutions to the global market. Through products including intelligent cooking robots and smart kitchen dispatch systems, the company digitizes the entire kitchen workflow, ensuring dish consistency while helping restaurants reduce labor costs, alleviate staffing shortages, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate large-scale franchising.
Building on deep learning, multi-sensor fusion, natural language processing, and computer vision, "Tingting Technology" has further trained and fine-tuned vertical models for kitchen scenarios, enabling 1:1 digital replication of cooking processes to faithfully reproduce chefs' techniques and flavor profiles.
Tingting Technology has established global sales channels and service networks, with products shipped to 17 countries and regions. Its clients include leading global restaurant groups and operators, covering scenarios such as chain restaurants, hotels, airlines, and food service operations.
"Scaling has always been a pain point for restaurant businesses. AI digital kitchen solutions can accelerate expansion and enable global business deployment," said Rui Chen, founder and CEO of "Tingting Technology," in an interview with Hard Kr.
On the team front, over 90% of "Tingting Technology" members hail from top 100 global universities and world-class leading enterprises, with extensive technical expertise and product implementation experience in robotics, AI, and software systems.
5Y Capital seeks out, supports, and inspires lonely entrepreneurs, providing everything from spiritual backing to full operational support. We believe that if the world starts believing in the "crazy" version of you that others see, things will get interesting.
