Food & Beverage

Robots for restaurants, cafés and food service

From a tight café floor to a busy full-service restaurant, the Dinerbot range runs food and clears tables, while Xbot robots serve coffee and ice cream with no barista on shift.

Dinerbot T9 robot for food & beverage
The challenge

What food & beverage operators are up against

01

Margins squeezed by labour costs

Wages make up a large share of a restaurant's costs, and every increase lands straight on an already thin margin.

02

Servers spend the shift walking

A large share of front-of-house time goes on carrying plates out and empties back, rather than on the guest interactions that drive tips and repeat visits.

03

Quiet hours are hard to staff

Keeping a barista or counter staff on for mid-afternoon or late-evening trade rarely pays, but closing the offer loses sales.

Use cases

Where robots fit in food & beverage

Food running

Dinerbot T9 and T10 carry up to 40kg across four trays and deliver to several tables in one run. The T9 lasts up to 18 hours on a charge, enough to cover lunch and dinner without a charging break.

Table clearing in tight spaces

Dinerbot T8 needs just 55cm to pass and has tray sensors that detect when a load has been removed, making it a good fit for packed café floors and bussing runs.

Promotions on the move

Dinerbot T10 adds a 23.8" display alongside its order screen, showing specials, desserts or event information as it moves around the room.

Coffee without a barista

Xbot S Pro's two robotic arms prepare espresso drinks with latte art. Xbot Lite pours two drinks at a time and can run from bottled water where there's no plumbing.

An always-on dessert offer

Xbot IC serves soft-serve ice cream from a panoramic display case that doubles as an advertising screen, and manages its own hygiene cycle.

The food & beverage line-up

Every lease includes delivery, set-up, staff training, maintenance and support.

Why lease

Why food & beverage businesses lease rather than buy

Weekly cost you can compare with a shift

Lease prices are quoted weekly, so it's easy to weigh a robot against the hours it frees up on the rota.

No large upfront spend

Keep cash for stock, fit-out and marketing rather than buying equipment outright.

Upgrade as you grow

Move from a T8 to a T9 or T10, or add units, as covers and floor space change at the end of your term.

FAQs

Food & Beverage robot leasing questions

Which Dinerbot is right for us?

T8 for narrow aisles and tightly packed seating (55cm passage width). T9 for long services, with up to 18 hours of runtime. T10 if you want a built-in promotional screen. We'll recommend one after looking at your floor plan.

How many tables can it serve in one run?

Dinerbot T9 and T10 have four trays and can deliver to up to four tables per run, carrying up to 40kg in total.

Do the coffee robots need plumbing?

Xbot Lite can run from a bottled water supply, so it can go almost anywhere with power. We confirm water, drainage and power requirements for the Xbot S Pro during the site survey.

Who keeps the Xbot IC clean?

Xbot IC manages its own hygiene cycle and self-cleans every 14 days without a technician. Your team still restocks it and carries out your normal food-safety checks.
