Abstract: One embodiment relates to an automated cooking device. An example automated cooking device includes an enclosure defining a cooking chamber. A heating element is positioned in the cooking chamber. A boiler and a fan are also operatively coupled to the cooking chamber. A scanner is structured to read a unique identifier on a food product. A controller is operatively coupled to each of the heating element, the boiler, the fan, and the scanner. The unique identifier is transmitted to a backend system in response to the scanner reading the unique identifier on the food product. Cooking instructions for controllably operating at least one of the heating element, the boiler, and the fan so as to cook the food product are received. The at least one of the heating element, the boiler, and the fan are controllably operated based on the cooking instructions so as to cook the food product.
