1301 ET - Food-delivery startup Wonder plans to use its latest round of financing to invest in a number of areas, including robotics and opening new locations, CEO Marc Lore says during an appearance on CNBC. Lore expects that with the help of robotics, Wonder's kitchens will be able to bring in nearly triple as much revenue as they do today with the same number of human employees, or about 12 to 15 people in a 2500 square foot kitchen, he says. One of the company's robots specializes in making bowl-based menu items, while another will handle just about any sauce recipe on demand, he says. Using its $650 million Series D financing round, which the company disclosed last week, Wonder will also continue to expand its footprint, Lore says. The company expects to open about 30 additional locations this year, he says.(kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
