## About

Founded in 2018, and based in California, US, Hyphen Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Ono Food Co., operates as an automation company that offers commercial kitchen-related software and robotics. The company was founded by its CEO Stephen Klei, and CTO Daniel Fukuba. The company operates in the Industrial Automation and FoodTech sectors, offering AI-powered solutions to automate kitchen operations for restaurants and foodservice providers. In August 2025, Hyphen Technologies, Inc. raised USD 25 million in series B funding from Cava Group, Inc., with participation from other unspecified investors. Hyphen Technologies designs and sells commercial kitchen cabinets called Makeline, that enable more efficiency at reduced costs with a manufacturing capacity of 350 meals per hour. The company's offering uses an easy-to-use user interface to order things, which are subsequently built automatically below the cabinet using robotics. As of 2022, the cabinets are available in various modules such as tray denester, mixing module, lid and label module, beverage module, portion cup fill module, rether¬mal¬iza¬tion module, and staging module. The company will use the August 2025 funding to scale its manufacturing of Automated Makeline technology, support its customer base, and develop more foodservice automation solutions.
