I've seen videos where it's much larger scale restaurant. the chefs are basically just responsible for filling those bowls and they man multiple stations. there are also versions with a wok.

That machine is cool but 7-11’s process was nothing like that. That machine is for individual servings at a restaurant. The one 7-11 used was more industrialized and made to produce pre-packaged food to be served frozen then heated up at home.

sorry i wasn't implying this is what the 7-11 looks like. just sharing an example i can find of industrial level cooking automation

You can tell from the simplified Chinese that this is owned by Chinese i.s.o. Japanese, which is just another great example of the above mentioned idea of "unique" Japanese.

The signage may be Chinese but the locale is Singapore. That said, 80% of the "uniquely Japanese" things mentioned in the sister article are found in any East Asian city with a significant Japanese presence.

Eg: vending machines for pet cacti

It's Singapore, as mentioned in the description (and the prices are quoted in SGD).
