As of next month, Dodgers fans will be able to grab food made by Flippy, the burger-flipping robot, USA Today reports.

Flippy will be responsible for helping its human co-workers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles  cook chicken tenders and tater tots. The robot can monitor fryer temperatures and cook times, letting employees know when the menu items are ready to be served.

Flippy was introduced earlier this year at fast-casual restaurant CaliBurger, where it was removed after only one day on the job because human staff were not able to keep up with demand. After a set of updates, the new and improved Flippy is working at CaliBurger full time, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
