Netizens had a mixed response about this innovation. “This industry is suffering from staff shortages which means we would actually very much like to employ more staff if we could find more people willing to work in hospitality…we will keep the same amount of bar staff we had before, so we are not planning to replace anybody with the robot, rather it aims to be a help,” he added. We are Germany’s largest cocktail chain so the bar is to us what to others the kitchen is.”

Sausalitos manager Christoph Heidt, while speaking to Reuters said, “The bar element is our most important element. The main objective is to tackle the fact that even though customers are back in the post Covid era, staff still remains at a halt. The robot has been developed by Sausalitos together with Inores Robotics AG. Will robotic food prep become a "solution" to the worker shortage? Ĭan't wait for the Cocktail reboot with this time as the charming and sage but flawed bartender mentoring his robot protege.

Non-alcoholic options are also available. They brew coffees and whip up lattes in pandan, banana, and coconut flavours at S$5 a cup before switching to making Tom Yum Martinis or Longan Red Date Gimlets at S$11 a glass. The machines, which are programmed with artificial intelligence, are baristas by day and bartenders by night. Unfortunately, the robots can’t flair like a human bartender, so don’t expect any juggling of bottles or robots breaking into a dance while flipping shakers.
