Consideration of Automation or Simplification of Services

As labor costs are one of the biggest expenses for running a bubble tea shop, some owners choose to use automated machines to provide service to customers. For example, a hotpot restaurant may use robots to deliver unheated dishes or use number machines for customers to self-serve without hiring waitstaff to serve them.

But please also notice that the meal could not be very hot or there may be dangerous dishes for customers to self-serve. The injuries caused during the self-serving process may also be attributed to the restaurant. Technological advancements provide opportunities for the food and beverage industry to increase efficiency and will continue to play an important role in the industry.
