    Abstract: A configuration for an autonomous food preparation and meal production machine receives a menu order. A computer system of the machine retrieves from a database an automated recipe for fulfilment of the menu order and determines an availability of a threshold of ingredients to fulfill the menu order. The computer system transmits preparation instructions to fulfill the menu order to stations having controllers in a production line. The production line de-nests a vessel and moves it along a production line. The production line, in response to the controllers receiving the preparation instructions, automatically dispenses ingredients of the menu order into the vessel from dispensers, steams and heats the ingredients and places the vessel with the fulfilled menu order into a locker. The computer system transmits to a device a signal corresponding to the fulfillment of the menu order.
