Cafe X, located at the San Jose International Airport in San Francisco, offers a unique experience in which robots make gourmet coffee and perform an entertaining dance. The robotic coffee bar has been tested by over 250,000 people in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2017 and it is only located in a secret location that only privileged few can find. Cafe X has three other robotic coffee bar locations in San Francisco.
The robotic barista is able to handle 10 orders at a time, providing prompt service and producing quality coffee that is better than anything a well-trained human barista can make. The coffee is made by a six-axis robotic arm that produces quality coffee all the time with no errors. The robot's movements are precise and it tilts the cup a little so it can move quickly without spilling any liquid, which is pretty impressive.
The cost of a drink at Cafe X is between three and six dollars, which may be less than Starbucks. The Cafe X has more than 40 employees and it has raised about 15 million dollars in funding to continue to offer its menu of single-origin rose, a blend, matcha lattes, and cold brews to customers who want their coffee with an original and unique twist.
The food robotic space is expected to grow at an annual rate of 12.7% from 2019 through 2025, reaching a 3.1 billion market by the middle of the decade. Cafe X is a unique and innovative concept that demonstrates how robots can be used to improve the customer experience while also reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that more and more restaurants will adopt similar technologies in the future.
