At present, many catering enterprises have seen the commercialization of robots, especially in the task of delivering vegetables.
With the progress of robot research and development technology, at present, catering robots have stepped out of the past haze and made breakthrough progress in technology and cost, which has brought new scientific and technological trends to traditional restaurants and will also solve the problems of rising labor costs.
Cooking robot
A few days ago, the future restaurant of an e-commerce company officially opened in Tianjin. From ordering, side dishes, cooking, delivering dishes to meal settlement, intelligent robots and artificial intelligence backstage run through the whole process of restaurant operation.
According to relevant personnel, consumers order food by scanning the code after entering the restaurant. After receiving the guest menu, the background system distributes the dishes and condiments prepared in advance to the cooking robot, and the robot completes the cooking according to the corresponding program settings.
It is understood that the cooking robot will complete the process of blanching, frying and stir-frying according to the recipe, and put the prepared side dishes into the pot for cooking according to the intelligent recommendation order.
Because the temperature measuring point is set at the bottom of the pot and the pot cover is equipped with a sensor, the four-in-one temperature difference is controlled at about 65438 0℃, so that the temperature of each dish can be accurately grasped and there is no oil smoke in the whole process.
At the same time, the propeller is used to realize 360-degree stir-frying without dead angle, so as to ensure that the stir-frying does not stick to the pan and the bottom, and to ensure the flavor and taste of dishes.
Food delivery robot
For the catering industry, rent, staff cost and food cost are always the three mountains of operating costs.
In addition, due to the relatively low technical content and high mobility of such positions, it is difficult to recruit, and with the increase in market demand for vegetable distributors, the cost has further increased.
Like industrial robots, the commercialization of food delivery robots will solve the problem of rising labor costs and even help restaurants improve food delivery efficiency.
The author learned that a restaurant in Guangzhou used robot waiters, which brought a new trend of science and technology to traditional restaurants.
For another example, the introduction of a food delivery machine in a foreign restaurant not only attracted the keen attention of the local media, but also became the benchmark for local smart restaurants.
According to the staff, the food delivery robot has liberated the labor intensity of waiters, greatly improved the work efficiency, and alleviated the difficulty in recruiting workers in the catering service industry to some extent.
It is understood that a food delivery robot delivers more than 330 meals a day on average, and 500 meals a day during the peak holiday season.
Two robots can complete the workload of four full-time vegetable delivery staff, and the efficiency is about twice that of human.
In addition, the food delivery robot can be on standby 24 hours a day, all year round, and there is no risk of job hopping.
This fundamentally saves a lot of labor costs for catering enterprises, and at the same time solves multiple catering service problems such as difficult recruitment and management.
Bian Xiao's conclusion: The catering robot not only brings value in efficiency and cost, but also helps the catering industry to conform to the trend of science and technology and realize self-upgrading and digital evolution.
With the landing of 5G technology, catering robots will also be combined with 5G, and interact with robots, platforms and even customers through the Internet of Everything, so that the services of the entire catering industry will usher in structural changes.
At the same time, the information sharing and seamless cooperation of restaurant robots are realized, which makes the robot restaurant run more smoothly, improve management and further improve efficiency.
Generally speaking, the addition of catering robots not only brings many attractive places to restaurants, but also really plays a role in replacing labor.
Of course, catering robots have never been designed to completely replace people, but to make people do more meaningful and irreplaceable work.
Let people and robots give full play to their respective advantages and help the intelligent development of the catering industry.
