Restaurant Service Robots

Robots that improve efficiency for any restaurant or food service establishment

Restaurant service robots are the perfect addition to any modern restaurant. With the movement towards providing better customer service while also reducing overhead costs, these robots are just the bridge to make that happen. What exactly can restaurant service robots do and how can they help your restaurant?

In general, restaurant service robots have three primary functions:

1. Act as a host, taking guests to their tables
2. Delivering food from the kitchen to the guest's table
3. Bus dirty dishes from the tables back to the dishwasher

 
 
Restaurant Hosting/Receptionist Robots

1. Hosting/Receptionist Robots

For many busy restaurants, the challenge we hear from owner/operators is having to need more than one host to greet customers out front. The problem they have is, if the receptionist has to go seat the guests themselves, the front desk has no one there to greet guests as they walk in the door while the host is seating guests. This is especially problematic at larger restaurants where it may take 2 to 3 minutes to go seat the guest and return to the front desk. One especially large restaurant we consulted had 4 hosts to ensure someone is able to greet guests as multiple hosts were either walking guests to their seat, or taking reservations or orders over the phone. It was largely inefficient, and during times or days when it wasn't as busy, the hosts would end up doing nothing or passing time chatting with each other, neither of which looked professional for the image of the restaurant.

They were able to reduce the hosting staff by half and see no reduction in customer service or response time by deploying two of our receptionist robots up front. No matter how busy it got, the robots could take the guests to tables nonstop and return, allowing the human hosting staff to be stationed at the front at all times. A person would always greet guests as they walked in, and guests would be taken to their tables efficiently and accurately. The robots themselves can bring menus, tableware and napkins at all times, making the operation run smoothly. The models that are best suited for this purpose are the KettyBot and the BellaBot.


 
 
Food Delivery Robots

2. Food Delivery Robots

Let's face it, a waiter can only carry a few dishes per trip. Large bowls of soup or hot plates can be dangerous to carry and drinks for a large party can be a challenge, requiring the right balance of concentration, strength and balance to get everything to the guest's table safely. We've heard from restaurant owners from a variety of food genres mention the issue of wait staff or even customers having burned their hands or other bodily parts from accidents involving delivering hot foods. How do you easily address that?

That's where the delivery robot comes in to save the day. Our food delivery robots feature multiple expansive trays, allowing the robot to take food 6 to 8 full size plates or more in one trip. Hot plates and soups aren't a problem, the robots have advanced suspension systems to ensure food and drinks are safely delivered without spilling. Normally they're stationed somewhere close to the kitchen where the food comes out, the wait staff can input the table number for the robot to make the deliver to, and the robot will go about its way and return upon completion of the task. The models that are best suited for this purpose are the BellaBot, the PuduBot and the PuduBot 2.


 
 
Table Bussing Robots

3. Table Bussing Robots

Every restaurant we've worked with has always mentioned how difficult it is to find good bussing staff. It's a tough, unappreciated job, cleaning up dirty dishes and cups, putting them into trays and carrying them or carting them over to the dishwasher. It's a dirty task that has to be done and it's pretty difficult to keep it out of sight from other restaurant patrons. It's no wonder that it's hard to find workers to handle bussing tables.

Fortunately, we have robots that are perfectly suited for the task. Robots like our HolaBot can be remotely dispatched by your bussing staff to start heading over to the table while your staff starts filling up bussing tubs with cups and plates. Once the robot arrives, they simply load the robot up and the robot will take the trays over to the dishwasher, discreetly and efficiently. Our bussing robots can carry anywhere from 90 to 132 pounds of dishes in one trip, far more than any person can possibly carry. On our HolaBot, three of the sides are fully enclosed so the bussing tubs are out of sight from other restaurant patrons while taking them to the back. The models that are best suited for this purpose are the BellaBot, the HolaBot, the PuduBot and PuduBot 2.
 
 
Drink Barista Robots

4. Intelligent Beverage Barista Robots

For many restaurants, developing a drink menu is often an after-thought and it really shows. Drink preparation also takes up a lot of room for the prep area and to store the ingredients. Fortunately, our DrinkBot Pro makes it easy to offer an extensive, craft beverage experience with minimal space. Utilizing an advanced algorithmic dispensing system, there are over 300 distinct beverage recipes available and we can work with you to offer the best flavors to suit the foods served at your establishment.

DrinkBot Pro is so user friendly and intuitive to use, it requires minimal staff training and anyone with half a brain can start dispensing drinks with complex receipes in seconds. The system can also be linked to a carbonated water line to make sparkling drinks of various flavors. In addition, it can be linked to various base hard liquors to create a wide array of cocktails within seconds. For busier operations, drinks can be entered in queue and DrinkBot Pro will dispense them one by one with no chance for any mistakes.
